    Have tickets for ATP and Terminal 5. Very excited to see them, buuuuuut....

    First they said they would definitely be playing a handful of new covers. I know that's their thing, but in my mind, every new cover would be replacing a song I never got to hear them play. Shrugged it off and planned to trust their judgment.

    Then I saw a post on Summer's Kiss's Twitter saying they got a sneak peek at the setlist and "I spy a whole lot of Congregation going on." Solid album, but firmly my fourth favorite.

    Gonna be interesting to see what they play at the Bowery tomorrow. If we're talking 50% or greater Congregation and covers, I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a twinge of disappointment.

    I wonder what they're playing on Fallon tonight? Most bands that play a late night show are supporting a new album, not so much in this case.

    I still don't hold any tickets for them. I am still holding out for a Cincinnati show which sounds like it's going to happen this fall.

    a friend of mine somehow stumbled upon a way to go to dress rehearsal today. :shock:

    they played "See and Don't See" and "I'm Her Slave"...don't know which one they will air...probably the new one.

    I totally get what you are saying, pjl44. It's definitely my 4th favorite as well. As for the setlist picture....I think it is all speculation. And just because it may or may not have been written on that setlist...well, maybe he was just making a list of what they needed to practice more. No one knows but Greg.

    And they have a whole European tour to go through before they get back over here....by then, they might be burnt out on Congregation ;)
