That was definitely Steve who messed that one up. He came in too early before the verse and threw everything off for a bit.

Kim's not playing guitar? Are there two basses then? It's pretty hard to see at the distance that video was shot.

The set wasn't even bad, by any means. But, had they broken up the Eternal material (maybe every 3-4 songs, throw a classic in) instead of putting it all together in the middle, you know?

Haha don't be sorry, I'm just being a prick. I totally see where you're coming from, like I explained earlier. I just think people would be used to it by now! The shows immediately after a new record is released are always jam-packed with 95-100% of the album. The shows I saw on the "Rather Ripped" tour only had 3 or 4 old songs in them, and the entire new album. That was cool, I wanted to hear the new album!

I think you have to catch SY in those odd years between 'album tours' where they shake it up more -- well, the first 6 months of this year (and most of last year too, I suppose!) were like this. I won't lie, I would've loved to have seen ANY of the shows last year or earlier this year, but it didn't work out. I guarantee I won't be disappointed when I see them later this month though...

Totally. On the Bad Moon Rising tour they barely played anything from the three records (SY, Confusion, and Kill Yr. Idols) preceding it. In fact, they started playing stuff from Evol ("Expressway...") pretty early into that tour!

This is the dream-type setlist for me for this tour. ALL of The Eternal and only 2 songs I've seen live before !

I hope they play the entire new album in Nashville and other past tunes I've never seen/heard live before....

Woohoo !!!!

 


I'd love to get socked in the geezer by Lee too !!!!

Well the distinction is that Radiohead also does a 2-2.5 hour set on average and has at least 24-25 songs and while they do play 90% of their new album, they also play another 15 songs often spanning their entire career featuring many fan favorites (not necessarily "singles" but songs widely loved)

...and that's maybe why they are one of the best live bands on the planet.

she is not alone.......fucking brilliant song.

I don't even have then recorded album yet, i hope it stands up to the live versions because i was fully satisfied with all the songs they played.

jimmy jazz 07.07.2009 05:16 PM

Unbelievable show. I love love love Massey Hall; it's lovely and the sound is great there. When they started Death Valley '69 I didn't know what was up, I couldn't believe that it was that song...then it was !!!! I looked at my girlfriend and was smiling so much I though my face had ripped open. PCH was awesome too. Really doomy.

just curious... does anybody out there, by chance, have an extra poster they are willing to part with? i wasnt able to get to the venue in time to hit the merch booth before it sold out...

Here's my audio recording of the show. I will share a DVD of the show when I finish it (which won't be for awhile).
