It was great actually, thanks for asking. I posted a short thing about it in the "Last gig you went to" thread the morning after.

He always will be one of my favorite front-men. He absolutely killed it last night. Solid setlist too. I think 4 Around the Fur tunes in the first 6 or so, and did not even play a song off the new album until like 8 songs in or something like that. No 7 Words though, which was highly saddening.

I have seen them several times since '98, and seriously, they still continue to impress me (except for a period there after White Pony when Chino was getting a little too fucked up). The atmospheric stuff comes off soooo good live, and the heavy still hits hard as a truck. I've always thought they were one of those bands that people easily write off coming from the era of stale nu-metal, but Chino seriously is one of the most overlooked front-men of the past several decades in my opinion, and there really is some creative musicianship going on as well. I just really dig them and always will go see them when they come around.
Edit: This was also by far the best light show I have seen them with. Nothing major, but it added nicely to the show.
