  Saw them in the early 2000s at a medium sized, indoor venue that had no seating. $25 / ticket. They stopped in the middle of a song to make sure someone was ok and a guy even jumped from the (not super high) balcony, crowd surfed to the stage, and played guitar with them for a song.

  You got ripped off. :/

    It was expensive but I don’t feel ripped off. Smashing Pumpkins opened and both bands played for hours with no breaks. It’s how bands make money in the days of YouTube paying artists a tiny percentage of a penny to stream a song
