Merriweather is a helluva lot hipper than Nissan. I will never go to another show out there again. Some of the best shows I've ever seen have been at MPP. Sugarcubes/PIL/New Order on the same bill back in 89. Even last year's Radiohead show was amazing. Best acoustics of any outdoor venue anywhere. Granted, I'm not really excited about the first two shows announced but I have a feeling IMP will put together some great packages.

Or any number of other exponentially superior (from an acoustic standpoint) outdoor venues? Comparatively, the sound at MPP has been suck-o-rama. Let's hope that Seth will have some influence on updating that, as well as what we all presume will be a more interesting booking policy.
