If you're on the fence about the new album, don't worry. Live, these songs hold very well and sound fantastic.

The setlist was great, but I thought it threw off the crowd early on. Lots of slow songs in the beginning, mixed in with Lightning Bolt stuff that not many people knew or at least didn't know well. Things definitely picked up near the end of the first set though and the crowd was amazing the rest of the way. The LB songs sounded amazing, and I liked the Backspacer stuff too - especially Unthought Known. Lots of Yield too, which is always welcomed and Footsteps was unbelievable.
I had GA seats and ended up with a pretty good spot - about 11 "rows" back in front of Jeff. I will say that after standing in a line for an hour to get my tix, standing in the merch ine for over an hour, walking about 2 mies round trip to get a bite to eat, standing in the GA line for another hour+ to get in, standing for an hour an a half before the band came on (8:30-ish for those who asked) and then standing throughout the concert - my legs were numb by the end of it! I was definitely feeling my age, so if you have GA tix and aren't 21 anymore you may want to bring a folding seat or something to sit on for longer lines outside the venue - you'll be glad you did.
There was also the expected amount of douche-baggery going on in the pit. People pushing and shoving, cutting in front of others, spitting/spilling beer and other stuff all over everything, etc, but it was worth all of it to be that close to the band. There was even a guy doing some crowd surfing which was nice to see. In spite of all that, GA was definitely fun and I'll do it again if it is available on future tours.
All in all it was an amazing show that exceeded all of my expectations. I even bought a poster because it was so cool and I haven't done that since Philly 2005. Thanks to all who made it something special and especially to the band who could never disappoint. If night one is a sign of things to come this tour is going to be one for the ages. We're very lucky to get to be a part of it.
Glad you had a great time, Teresa!
