A perfect circle rocked that show however. I had to sit through the awful MArs Volta set first
I've never been to one of their live shows, but I think part of those live jam sessions are to get the audience loose and get them acting a little like they do (or to satisfy the other people on acid in the audience!)

Just because a band decides to do those jam sessions doesn't mean they are particularly bad live, it just means they made a bad decision in how they're live show is structured, since all those segments will serve to do is get the general audience bored and annoyed. How are they when they actually play songs?
