Just saw both back to back.

They both played well but the nod goes to the Ryche.
In the end it all just comes down to personal preference.
It was interesting seeing the Ryche do two albums all the way through the way Tate has done for a decade or so now.
I have seen the Ryche every time they come by me since Todd joined the band.
I have seen Tate many a time as well whilst doing his full album tours (acoustic, Empire, Mindcrime, Rage & current hits tour).
What I like about the Ryche is what I have said previously.
Their album output has been fantastic and I would be all for a tour featuring just Todd era stuff.
This time around it was fantastic seeing them do the EP and Warning. That is certainly something that Tate could not do.
As I have said before I don't hate the Tate, but I love the Ryche.

So cool you saw them so soon after each other, and strange they are touring that closely in the same area.

I've not seen the Ryche since Tate left, but I've seen Tate and it was good, but the Ryche with Tate was great when I saw them last.
