Super quick run down of the show in Houston: The crowd was terrible and the venue is not my favorite for acoustics. The crowd was so bad that Joe Letz actually had to moon the audience to get a reaction... They were that dead. Things didn't change much when Rammstein came out. Some excited folks, but compared to the ATL show, the reaction was low and disappointing for their final US show this tour. Till couldn't get anyone to repeat lyrics loudly, the cheers were calm and all around the reception was grim. The first set by R+ had a lot of feedback in the PA and Till's voice was clearly tired. My left ear went out almost immediately so I had a harder time hearing him on top of his being quieter. Apart from that, the band sounded great! For the final bow Joe came up with the guys. During the set on the b stage, Till was clearly discussing things with Joe who was on the floor near the sound booth for most of their set. I'm assuming he was inviting him up for the final good-bye. It made for a cool picture at the end.
Not trying to be a Negative Nancy as we still enjoyed ourselves, but everyone could have been a little more excited for their last stop. It was certainly not a proper farewell and thank you to the band. Hopefully the rest of the shows in the US had more energy and fans there to see the show instead of getting stoned. ATL was pretty amazing especially compared. Another positive from this particular show was our great seats and the ability to shoot some incredible pictures. That'll help the bad memories from the lame crowd fade faster.
