Submitted by Dave Baillargeon
AMAZING! That is the only word I can use to describe tonights show. The boys were really on tonight, busting out the best setlist of the year which included some sweet surprises. Now to the songs. Too Much: A great way to start up the evening, by playing a nice energetic song. Grey Street: Possibly one of the bets Lillywhites, this song really set the evenings mood by stepping up the energy, and getting the crowd really into it. If I Had It All: A relaxing Everyday song, where I was able to take a quick water break. I Did It: I was so happy to hear this so soon in the setlist, because I knew it was coming, just this way it was quick and easy. You Never Know: The only song i'd never heard, and it was awesome. A really great tune, that at times reminded me of Grey Street. Crush: As soon as I heard Stefan fiddling with his bass, i knew this one was coming. A great song with an awesome jam dominated by Boyd. Drive in Drive Out: Somewhat unexpected, I was really impressed by this tune tonight, adding in the "tea party" to make me quite happy. This led to... One Sweet World: As soon as I heard the first chords of the beginning instrumental intro., I flipped out. This was a HUGE surprise, and was a nice long, jammed out version. Lover Lay Down: Also unexpected, this was a great song that had a nice long jam to it, and showed up at a perfect time. So Much To Say: The beginning seemed a little more funky than usual, and Dave really danced away with this one. Great song. Grace is Gone: I love this song, and it started really slow and mellow and turned into a huge rocking jam which really got the crowd grooving. PIG: The song I was waiting for! This was an amazing version, and Dave was really enjoying himself. The crowd was also very into this one, which I didnt really expect. Great song, great jam, great time. The Space Between: The usual old version, but played nicely. This was another water break for me. BEF: I was so happy to hear this one, especially knowing Bartender was soon to come. He added the "stay up in your fucking tree" to the monkey verse which really got the place moving. Bartender: Awesome song which never disappoints. Boyd was hot on the whistle in both BEF and this song, and really dominated the jam. After all this, I figured they would break the set and come back on for the encore. But then, out of no where, came the song we've all been waiting for... TWO STEP: This song was awesome, and since it hasnt been played yet this tour, completely unexpected. This song had so much energy that the arena was going crazy, jammed out to the max, complements of Butch. This song really made my night, and made the set even more amazing. After a break, the boys came back and played the expected, Where Are you Going: This song is very good, and has molded well with the full band since Paramount. I was really happy to hear this. I then expected the usual Dont Drink the Water or WWYS but then, again out of no where, came... ANTS MARCHING: What a way to top off the night! Another song forgotten about this tour, Ants really blew the lid off the place. It was played perfectly, with the boys having a ton of fun up on stage. What a show! The lighting was great, and the acoustics were alot better than the Fleet. The night was full of surprises, and the set was made by the return of 2 powerhouse songs, Ants and Two Step. Again, all i can say is AMAZING!
