This one's pretty good, too:

Anyone notice that the reviews are trending much more positive? Sacramento, San Jose, Oakland, Anaheim, San Diego, Phoenix, Portland, Seattle have all received strong, positive acclaim in the print media.

Or, the Western critics like them better.

After hearing how some shows seemed uninspired, or that Stevie seemed tired, etc., I was surprised at the energy and the way they truly seemed to be having fun. Perhaps they're hitting their stride and getting more comfortable.

Or maybe they've found some good drugs!

Maybe they are getting better reviews because they are on their "turf"--the Mac has always been called a California sounding band...maybe the reviewers are more tuned into that kind of music. The east coast shows did not get fantastic reviews...but i was also early in the tour...soo....

It's anyone's guess!
