Fucking incredible performance...

yasmin the light
the birth and death of the day
a song for our fathers
your hand in mine
greet death
snow and lights
a poor man's memory
catastrophe and the cure
the only moment we were alone

I've seen them three times and always one of the best bands to see live. I am so glad there little break is over and I hope they come to Cleveland soon.

Amazing. I've been to over 100 different shows and I'm not exaggerating when I say that this was easily the best show I've ever seen. Just incredible musicians.

Also thanks to the OP for posting the setlist, I was trying to sort it out the whole train ride home.

Wow, did this show start in the pouring rain? Summerstage shows usually start early.

Haha yeah it was a downpour through the first two opening bands and then the skies finally cleared up right before Explosions went on. I was completely soaked before I even got to Central Park.

That's a longer set than the SXSW Free set they played here at home in Austin. It would be awesome to see them in a setting like that.

They really are amazing. They draw huge crowd here of course (almost 15,000 during the hometown SXSW show and a recent sold-out show at Stubb's on July 4th), how big was the crowd in NYC?

I definitely don't think it was as big as 15,000, it was sold out of course, but I'm really bad at estimating crowds....I'd say maybe 4-5,000 at the most. The Central Park Summerstage area isn't that overwhelming.
