the greatest setlist ever? ^^
07/09/03 - Madison Square Garden: New York, NY
attendance: 20,000
support act: Sleater-Kinney
set: Crazy Mary, Save You, Hail Hail, Whipping, Corduroy, Red Mosquito, Dissident, I Am Mine, Get Right, Given To Fly, Evacuation, Even Flow, I Believe In Miracles, Untitled/MFC, Deep, Present Tense, Nothingman, State Of Love And Trust, Porch
enc 1: You've Got To Hide Your Love Away, Elderly Woman, Glorified G, All Or None, Do The Evolution, Alive
enc 2: Go, Know Your Rights, Rockin' In The Free World, Yellow Ledbetter
notes: Unusual rip roaring 'Crazy Mary' starts off the set to a packed house at MSG for the second night in a row. Strong Ed voice on 'Hail Hail.' He addresses the crowd after a great version of 'Whipping,' telling them how special the previous night was for the band but that they "... have their work cut out for them because you guys always wanna make it better than the last." This spins into a strong 'Corduroy,' with the crowd loving it. 'I Am Mine' lyrics are changes to, "The in between is yours ... you are yours." Ed phones Johnny Ramone before 'I Believe in Miracles' but gets his answering machine. "Hey, Johnny. You fucker. Why aren't you home?" Then during 'Untitled,' "Johnny, I hope you get the message, or you're not home. I'll see you in a month or so ..." An absolutely beautiful 'Present Tense.' Ed gives props to Matt and mentions that the fourth Wellwater Conspiracy album is finished and should be released soon. He says he's glad because it means Matt will be available to record with PJ. 'Nothingman' is a great, huge singalong. Tight 'Porch' with a sweet bridge. Upon returning for the first encore, Ed starts reading signs in the crowd. "Garden, yes we're in the garden. That's good ... This one says 'play Leash you pussies'. You know, there's fucking children here, you know. You fucking cocksucking motherfucker asshole prick!" He mentions the fan club support and that last night there were 7,000 and tonight there are 8,000 fan club tickets represented. He thanks the fans and mentions hearing how fans have met via shows and become friends or lovers. He jokes how a couple ("I think they're from Jersey") met, married and is trying to have five kids to name them after the band. "So far they have Jeff, Stone and Mike and they're fucking right now trying to get a little Eddie. And if they get to Boom ... we're just gonna keep adding band members. We'll have a horn section ... that's evolution, baby." Ed starts to introduce 'All or None' but Mike goes into the first riff of "Glorified G" and they play that first. A heartfelt 'All Or None' leads to an incredible 'Alive.' As soon as Mike hits the solo, the entire arena begins the fist pump, simultaneously yelling "yeah" for the duration of the song. Ed scans the entire Garden in awe. Mike smashes his Gibson flying V at the end of 'Go.' A searing 'Know Your Rights' (played for Joe Strummer) encompasses the energy they had from the first note and leads gracefully into 'RITFW,' which blows the place up. Ed references phoning Johnny and leaving a message yet again in 'YL' ("I tried and I phoned and we only left a message; he wasn't there.") Mike intertwines a few of the unmistakable Hendrix doing the 'Star Spangled Banner' at Woodstock guitar wailings in 'YL' to close.

wont let the light escape from me
wont let the darkness swallow me
hell yes!!! hows life been?? i went to va beach and camden 1...dc tomorrow...just warm up shows for the elite shows
ill probably be there in my graves jersey or lundqvist shirt one of the nights
E. Rutherford 1 in '06 was quite possibly my favorite show ever but everyone talks about night 2 being better. I just don't get it.
Wishlist, Lukin, I Am Mine....
Although some standout tracks were In My Tree ...
But right around Grievance...something changed and the band starting to catch fire. That didn't stop and from then on the show was just nuts. It was definitely one of the strongest encores I've ever seen and still one of my favorite shows. And yes, in my opinion, it was still better than a fantastic second night.
