i was there too, and yes, the audience was horrible. damo & co were (in a good way) in rare form. i've seen him many times and they were so "on" last night.
i think that's the tradeoff of having a gig in a casino tho. people are ****ers and half of them are rich bastards who don't even know who they're seeing. that casino had more rich assholes in it than i had ever seen. i saw some guy lose 6,000 dollars at blackjack and think nothing of it.

Not sure how Lil' John impressions are supposed to show any respect to the gracious (though similarly drunken) performers who got cut off from telling a story mid-set.
Apparently, later, during Fiona's set, while Damo was on stage having some fun with her, some fantastic guy yells to the stage for them to "wrap it up!" Violent words ensued from the stage to the cowd and back up. Of course I was gone by then... beer was cheaper on the casino floor and I had had more then my fill of that night's crowd.
I know I paid $50 for my ticket but I still think that its the audience's responsibility to make the performer feel welcome. I'm sure I'm seeng this more and more.
