Present Tense!! I have to hear that version again - I've never heard it with that fast bit at the end.
I also liked green disease, Porch, crazy mary, RITFW, everything!
I have a teeny clip of Eddie on the speakers during Porch - I'll have to upload it on youtube soon.
It was just such a completely fantastic show!
"We have to change the concept of patriotism to one of “matriotism” — love of humanity that transcends war. A matriarch would never send her own children off to wars that kill other people’s children."

Hard to pick one out really, it was such a special night-but if I had to I guess the ending with the house lights on for Indifference was extra,extra special. All those hands in the air, everyone singing "I will hold the candle, 'til it burns up my arm" .Fabulous memories.JUK

The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

couldnt pick a single song from last night, too amazing. highlights were definately;
Low Light - this was the first song of the night which made me think this really will be special.
Faithful - always enjoyed the song but never went out of my way to listen to it. after last night things will change. hadnt been played in a while but the band nailed it. was great to sing the chorus surrounded by fan club members with equal passion
Immortality - always been one of my favs and was soo happy when it began, i was thinking 'ive heard that intro before' and then it clicked, immortality, brilliant.
Down - who thought a b-side from 2 albums ago would be played?!? a 'hope' song which brought a great upbeat feeling through the crowd.
Present Tense - Love this song, especially live. so glad it was played. great singalong.
Crazy Mary - was never that much into this song before but boom needed a time to shine, and this was definately it. after seeing the outro solos between boom and mike i was speechless, they play off each other so well, something i hadnt fully appreciated until i witnessed it myself.
No More - there have been quite a few people round here saying they dont care much for this song, but i disagree. while it is not the most complex lyrics and music, they fit together perfectly. and when it is played with everyone listening contently and singing the chorus it creates a great atmosphere.
Indifference - absolutely beautiful way to end, always preferred this to Ledbetter to close. 'I may have written some shit lyrics, but this isnt one of them', shame you couldnt remember them all ed
quite a long post but i had so many highlights, hope everyone enjoyed it as much as i did
I have to say Present tense was fuckin spine tingling,but RITFW was amazing just for watching Jeff going fuckin nuts towards the end.It hit me then that the band themselves had a really great night therefore-so did we!
No More - there have been quite a few people round here saying they dont care much for this song, but i disagree. while it is not the most complex lyrics and music, they fit together perfectly. and when it is played with everyone listening contently and singing the chorus it creates a great atmosphere.
When I heard/saw No More on YouTube I had my doubts, but I must say that it was perfect yesterday. YouTube doesn't do it justice
Like a cloud dropping rain
I'm discarding all thought

I didn't think the setlist was that good, would've enjoyed more rockers to get the crowd going more.
Was a good night still.

Although No More pulled a few strings, Immortality caused my heart to stop, and Long Road? Well, it was Long Road wasn't it.
Loved Bushleaguer too
