At least Springsteen and Little Steven didn’t have wardrobe malfunctions.

Uh, aren’t I ashamed that I used one too many “aren’t”s there…

@Weezy F Baby: Not to mention that the sound requirements aren't for an arena show aren't exactly the same as those of a televised event.

And as a former marching band geek, let me assure you that the "slapback" is no joke!

Also, according to an AbsolutePunk interview, dude totally loves Steve Reich.

Which is just really cool to me.

and..cough cough..not to name drop but I’ve hung with Patrick on a few different occasions and he’s just as intelligent and nice as he comes across on the internet. Totally good dude.

@ObtuseIntolerant: Those shows have had hours of preparation and a very precise sound check. For the super bowl, they've got to set up a stage on the field in about 10 minutes, then have it off the field in another 10. Whole different beast, brah.

@revmatty: Same here. I like FOB okay, but the guy seems like a real down-to-earth fella.

@Al Shipley: Agreed. I don't like FOB at all, but he seems to have a level head. A rarity in any industry.
