Found this date on SOY and called Penn's Peak Box office for info.Venue: Penn's Peak

General admission show
On sale April 4th tickets in advance 40 dollars, 45 day of show.

I wrote the Chameleon Club and they said Live will not be playing that weekend, they are looking to book them late summer/early fall.

OK, wait a minute...Simple Creed, Iris, and Love Shines were in the original set list but got cut???

I'm not sure I've ever heard anything so depressing...

On a brighter note, good "GRACEY" yell last night...I was quite proud of us

Also enjoyed the enthusiastic response to the TBD chant we had going!! You can always dream, right??

I was at the show too. Without question a more laid back vibe then the Baltimore gig on Friday, and the set list choices weren't as good in my opinion. But tough to control that........I still dug the show and the easy access to great standing room spots close to the stage. All in all a great double shot of shows for the weekend.

As an aside, I'm mildly disappointed that 15-16 song / 85-90 minute sets are now the norm for Live after being spoiled with longer sets in the say 19-22 song range back in 2006 when they were touring heavily for SFBM. It obviously hinders them digging deeper into their catalog. Maybe alot of it's due to Ed's voice breaking down towards the end of the tour and they no longer want to push it? Thoughts?

I think Ed was straining his voice big-time with the longer sets. With a full tour schedule already set for this year, I think they need to pace themselves to protect from burnout. I also agree with the laid back vibe at this show. It didn't feel like a major event, more like jamming out in front of some friends at home. It was very cool.

I guess, but it'll piss me off if they start breaking out longer sets for the European or west coast shows.

Maybe the Paradiso shows will get longer sets because of the DVD filming. Otherwise it will be 90 minutes or less for the remainder of 2008(unless they play Australia).
