i've seen them live twice. the first time was in 2000, on the Red Summer Sun tour with Vertical Horizon and Splender (VH rocks!!!). i wasn't really a die hard fan until that show. then my admiration blossomed into an obsession, lol.
the second time was april 2003, when they did the Within Arm's Reach tour. I paid a shitload of money to get tickets and backstage passes. The concert itself was incredible, we were RIGHT SMACK IN FRONT OF TONY (who is the MAN), and he was just totally rocking out and he is SO CUTE...
then we met the band, which was an experience all it's own... Stephan wasn't very nice to me, which was disappointing because he was like my idol (i'm a singer/songwriter). however, tony (!!!) and brad (the drummer) were totally awesome, super-nice, and they made the whole thing worthwhile. the drummer was on cloud 9, though (i think you know what i mean :wink: ).
You should try and get out to see them (next time they go on tour-- they're a little slow in giving out the goods, cds and tours and such)!!! they're incredible!!!
