Tiny Cities Made Of Ashes was terrible, no one would disagree with that. For being at the Paramount it was not that bad. Last live band I saw there was Sonic Youth and they have come a long way since then. For your info, MM is not the band that gets big and moves to LA. Issac lives in Portland and I believe Eric and Jeremiah still live in Seattle. I don't really know about anyone else (assuming Marr lives in UK still).
I got to see these guys during the early days, many times, somewhere between 10-20 times if not more. It was always a mystery about what kind of show you were going to get. Back then at least you could "talk" to them about it. I had not seen them live in about 7 years at least and I was just thrilled to have the chance even if it was at the Paramount. I am a Washington native and I will always support genius from this state. There may not have been quality audience/MM interaction, but the Pacific Northwest is so a part of MM that it will never go away and it will always speak to me deeper then anything else. Now if they would have had a big bio-diesel sign on the side of those gross buses, that would have been true PNW style.
