I saw them in philly 2 weeks ago and came away very happy! I especially liked Copeland's percussion setup (on the riser behind his kit)...integrated the percussion well into songs. The new arrangements of tunes were good as well.
by the way, copeland has always played traditional grip. always amazed me that he can slam a beat like he does with traditional grip. it's all in the wrist!
they're coming back to philly to play an indoor show in november. I'm considering going - since that will most definitely be my last chance ever to see them live. I have to assume that they are done after this tour...
