The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Agreed, though I was there so I am a bit biased. The encores in that show, as an experience, were like an out of body experience. I can recall just looking around the room during Do the Evolution and it legit looked like the place was beckoning the end of the world. You don’t get to see that on the dvd because the camera is either in tight, or all you can see is those two crowd participants at varying levels of somewhat excited.

sounds amazing
It was. An all time experience for me. I was on the floor for night one, too.
While a few Riot Act songs have actually gone up a few notches in my recent listens (All or None, maybe Green Disease) or I got a nice fresh reminder of how much I like my favorites (Can't Keep, Save You, Ghost, Cropduster, I am Mine, Get Right), You Are actually went down a bit for me. The music is pretty cool, but I find Eddie's performance pretty unengaging.

there are ways that I think Matt brings it down from its potential too, e.g. I don't understand why he keeps the hi-hat closed throughout? I've got used to it but it's one of those weird little decisions he makes that I wouldn't

for a non drummer, what does opening up a high hat do?
context if it's needed (sorry if not!): the hi-hat is usually the cymbal (or set of two, with a pedal) that taps the pulse (in this case 1 2 3 4) along with the bass drum and snare drum in the rhythm
opening the hats turns the hats from a tap tap to a tssshhhh, where the two cymbals are reverberating together; it's a bit of a hard rock convention to open the hats during choruses and close them again during verses; it kind of helps to separate the parts so they're not just constant and monotonous, and also (I think) adds some emotional excitement
"Alive" is a good example of a song that shifts dynamics this way; it's the same kind of tempo as "You Are" but open hi hats lend it a "grungier" feel
