Lexington is amazing!

One of the strangest setlists I've ever seen..."Cropduster" is the opener...yes, it's not the one I would chose for that position, but Eddie's the boss

Cropduster, Given To Fly, Corduroy, Last Exit, Save You, Daughter, Immortality, Small Town, Even Flow, 1/2 Full, Can't Keep, You Are, Do The Evolution, Blood, Thumbing My Way, Jeremy, Black - Encore 1 - I Am A Patriot, Go, Glorified G, Breath, Better Man, Alive - Encore 2 - Smile, Fuckin' Up, Yellow Ledbetter

Actually I heard it today for the first time ... before work today, I had to stop after Breath, so I'm really curious about the rest.

For my opinion, "Cropduster" doesn't work as an opener, although I love this song. "Daughter" is pretty interesting, there is no sung tag, just an instrumental improv, pretty groovy and cool. "Immortality" knocked me down so early in a set...wow...great jam at the end. Eddie strums a few silent punk-like-chords (power chords, fast and hammered) of "Small Town" ... but finally he plays the normal version. "Even Flow" has a pretty long solo, In "1/2 full" Eddie adds a few words (can't remember now) whithin his shouts in the final part. "Can't keep" in the middle of a show is pretty strange to hear for me...
nevermind.... Ed jokes about drinking and then offers an insight into the background of "Thumbing my way", says that it's about alcoholism.

I heard a lot of fantastic versions of "Black"...but this band is able to surprise me over and over again...seems to me that this version is one of the slowest and most relaxed ones ever...Eddie plays around with the vocals and the lyrics and Mike's solo is fantastic...it ends pretty noisy (sounds like static)...great, great, great...

"I am Patriot", the new version: goosebumps, goosebumps, goosebumps...Eddie's(?) guitar is not in tune at the lower strings which gives this version an interesting mood...after his long screaming explosion of "...freedoooom!" towards the end he finishes up with whispering the word a few times..."Go" rocks like every time and "Glorified G" is one of my favourite rarely played tunes... "Breath": Ed is angry about himself because he fucks up the lyrics in the first verses...the audience takes it

(maybe) to be continued...
