Okey dokey. The night started with Ed saying, "We burned out set lists ... we don't know what we're gonna play tonight." Everyone at that point, as you might imagine, flipped their shit & we knew we were in for a good time.

Nothing really was dramatically different, as far as the songs go, but I haven't seen them smile so much on stage in a LONG time. And I haven't seen Ed run around that much in a while too! I'd like to start by applauding the absence of Selling The Drama. THANK YOU!! I don't know what it is - the tempo of the song doesn't translate well from stage (for me, anyway). It's never memorable for me. Except back in 95 when they had the most literal light segments for Taylor's guitar part during the chorus. Feh. I was happy to realize that was gone.

They opened with Mystery, Love Shines was next ... the rest is a jumbled mess in my head but at one point the went fron Iris right into Simple Creed & I think I wet myself. That was sick!!!

First encore opened with The Dolphin's Cry.
Second encore was Overcome (Ed by himself, with the piano track playing), then WD. Ed went off on his little speech about the review saying they were obscure and Taylor knocked into one of the spot lights on the floor. Once he realized he could fuck with them, he knocked one down right infront of me, ran to the other side, knocked that one down, ran back infront of me & knocked the 2nd down, then went back to his mic in time for "LOOK WHERE ALL THIS TALKIN GOT US BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY". He looked like he was pissed but you know it was the music taking control of his body. Fucking awesome.

It was my 40th show - first time I caught a drumstick! yay!
After the big bow, Adam caught my eye & waved. A nano-second later, he gave me this confused look as if to say, "what the hell are you doing HERE?" haha so cool

There's no other way I could lose my voice & my hearing and be happy about it. I fucking love their shows.
