A good set list can cary a show only so far. The performance is usually important.
Yes, performance is paramount, setlist secondary to me. ALWAYS.
I'd rather hear a show that's Even Flow, DTE, Better Man, Alive etc, if the band is playing like their life depended on it rather than one where they play a bunch of rarities sloppily.

For example, Leaving Here in late 1995. They repeatedly messed it up and, because of that, it detracted from what was, in general, series of excellant shows.
"Underneath this smile lies everything - all my hopes, anger, pride and shame."
Damn right. It really pisses me of when people take a glance at a setlist and deem it a total disaster because of its lack of rarities. It's a really stupid way to judge a show.
I bet i would've had a blast if i'd gone to the show tonight. It's a rockin' setlist!
just as it is stupid of you to judge about my judgment while not knowing a thing about why i made the comment. and the fact that what someone says on the internet pisses you off is frightening.

Oh come on, that's like saying "I know you are but what am I!?"
And why does something said on the internet totally negate it? as opposed to being said "in real life?"
This set list is killer! How come people have to act too cool for the room and pretend to be pissed because they didn't play Hey Foxymophandlemama....lighten up!
amazing show, great attitude by the band, just missing out on one or two rarities to make the setlist a bit more special. ed said "que se foda madrid" (fu*k madrid) in the middle of the set, while talking they had to go to madrid next night and that was it... 4 new tour shirts, all of them a beauty. 25€ each. there were some australian tour shirts on sale too, the baby blue with the surfer.

You take life serious? Why should something over the internet be treated any different than face-to-face? Because now you have the luxury of hiding yourself behind your monitor? Serious shit goes down because of the internet, so yes "the internet" is very serious. You would go on ebay, sell something, take the winner's money, and go "lol the internet, you take it so seriously." Tell countless friendships that have been formed by the internet that its not a serious friendship because "lol the internet." Countless people who are billions because of the internet.
Though those are serious as a clash of opinion in a forum, you are suggesting that everything on the internet shouldn't be taken seriously. Even if thats not what you mean, thats how you're coming across. Whether you hate to admit it, internet has become apart of life. This isn't 1995 anymore, that comeback is void.
Well, I was in Lisbon on friday and yesterday in Madrid (my hometown). I must admit that I liked more the Lisbon concert. The setlist was OK; no surprises but I always like to listen to the hits. In Madrid the show was shorter and I missed: Rearviewmirror, Evolution and specially... Better Man. Last year in Madrid they started with it and it was crazy, and this year...no Better Man... pity.
I was a bit surprised about the enthusiastic reaction of the portuguese people after the famous 'f*ck Madrid'. Anyway, I believe you when you say: 'No problem, no offense'. Well, I told you what happened yesterday in Madrid. When Eddie began to talk and say: 'We're very happy to be in Madrid, blablabla..., but the best thing is... TO BE OUT OF PORTUGAL!!! and the reaction of the public was... complete silence... like thinking: What is this guy saying??!! It seems like someone has tried to convince Eddie to exploit the supposed spanish-portuguese rivalry and, as far as we are concerned (the spaniards), this rivalry doesn't exist. In fact, IMHO, it is affection the actual feeling (at least from the spanish side). So, I think that the joke of being glad for being out of Portugal wasn't specially... brilliant.
I think that the connection with the public was better in Lisbon. In fact, I think that the ammount of wine drank by Eddie had somehing to do with it. He was very funny... The concert was less serious that other times...
The sound, in both concerts, was not spectacular, but OK.
Saludos.

Yeah, that is worse than being angry because of the songs a band chose to play at a show you did not attend (presumably).
I will, and were meant to be getting audio, not video.

Setlist has been corrected, see first post. There are photos up at http://thearmyreserve.blogspot.com from Einat!

Thank you Einat!
I can always count on you. It was wishfull thinking, on behalf of my memory of your (TARblog) post, that we were going to get video.
Cheers to another show tonight.
Great pics! Thanks for the post. Give a big thanks to Einat from the blogosphere.
