This post won't be the first to bemoan the acoustical nightmare that The Electric Factory can be. In fact, I hadn't returned there since seeing Tool over a decade ago mainly because mosh pits and tinny sound are no longer my thing.

You'll be lucky if you land this hot ticket. Of course, if you can't, you can always head out to one of the many restaurants on South Street (as we told you earlier this week, Eight Days of Eat continues till May 23rd). Better yet - do both!
