Fantastic show. Could be my favorite show I've been to from the band.
I really don't know where to begin. The band was on fire tonight and the crowd was great. I liked that alot of people knew the words to the new songs already. It could have just been that I around with other 10Cers, I don't know.
Eddie's speeches were great and funny. Not much politics talk...just a bit about the Senate passing a $70 billion tax cut package for rich people and how politicians aren't risking their children's lives in Iraq before "Army Reserve."
"You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" was Eddie solo. Before the song, he talked about the different types of people who go to their shows, i.e. people who just know the songs from the radio, people who like songs from the records, people who want to hear the song they fell in love to or the song they first got laid to, and the people who want to hear songs they've never played before. "The normal people and the freaks" is how he described them.
When "Satan's Bed" started, me and a few other people literally said the same thing..."Holy fucking shit!" The song was very well-rehearsed. Eddie knew all the lyrics and there weren't any fuck ups, ala State College 2003.
"Rats" was teased a little earlier when Eddie was mentioning the Albany River Rats (they play their games at Pepsi Arena). He kept mentioning rats and I thought we'd get the song then, but nope. Before "Rats," he said that the next song hadn't been played since before Matt was in the band. He was incorrect on this, but no matter. "Rats" sounded great. I think there was one mistake with somebody missing a cue (Matt, maybe) but other than that, it was like it was 1993.
"Come Back" was preceded by Eddie saying that they could either play an old song and finish, or play a new song and continue. Obviously, the crowd voted for a new song. I don't know if "Come Back" was on the setlist because right before the song he said to Mike/Jeff, "Let's do 'Come Back.'"
I was surprised that "Alive" was the closer, since the house lights never came up and actually didn't come up for a minute or so after the song. Stone brought out the Bush mask and put it on Eddie's mic stand and Eddie took it right off. Jeff got it and put it on. Eddie said something about "Have you been working out, Mr. President?" Jeff grabbed his crotch while still wearing the mask.
Great end to a great show. I've seen 6 shows since Riot Act came out and I've only heard 8 of the album's songs. I heard 9 from the new record tonight.
Plus, no "Corduroy" or "Better Man!" That makes the show even more excellent. This bootleg is a must have! You will not be disappointed.
