He was just as enjoyable as at Lollapalooza even though the mix seemed off (his vocals were LOUD compared to the rest) and the place wasn&#8217;t very full as he started pretty much right on time (what&#8217;s up with that. crazy, eh.).<\/p>\n<p>As to Gomez&#8230;. <strong>Gomez <\/strong>was AWESOME.  I have told you a zillion times how much I loved their album last year (&#8220;How We Operate&#8221;).  Seeing them live, you know it wasn&#8217;t a fluke.
