I'd appreciate if someone could post Poison the Well's setlist for any shows they go to! I'm a fan of all their work, however I really hope to see classics like Nerdy, Slice Paper Wrists, and Artists Rendering of Me live.

[phoenixinflames]

I really want to hit this tour up in Worcester. Such a sick lineup.

[openthispit99]

Deff hittin up the mass date, only for war of ages of course.

[Batman138]

Just went to this tour 3 days in a row, Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore. The tour is so much fun, it kinda sucks because they are all in huge clubs, and there is barricades and stuff but really security hasn't been too bad so far. Its also good because it is almost guaranteed that the shows will not sell out so you can get in for $10 instead of paying for fees. All 3 days there were a bunch of kids but not even close to selling it out.

The way it works is the lineup of the first 6 bands will rotate each day, the order of the first day was:
Ghost Inside
Crime In Stereo
Trapped Under Ice
Death Before Dishonor
This Is Hell
War of Ages

Then the next day would be
War of Ages
Ghost Inside
Crime In Stereo
Trapped Under Ice
Death Before Dishonor
This is Hell

and so on, so if you want to know what the llineup is for your date go by that, sometimes your favorite band is playing first so be there early and catch all the bands. Each of those bands plays for about 20-25 minutes. After those 6 it was Vision, Terror, Madball and Poison the Well. Madball headlined in both NY and Baltimore. Vision isn't on any more dates until New Jersey, so I think it will just be terror until Bane jumps on then the lineup may change a little bit. The last 4 bands play for about 30-40 minutes.

As far as set lists go, I don't know all of the bands, but I did my best to remember what each band plays, and after seeing each band 3 times, their sets don't change too drastically a song or two may be different though.

War of Ages were decent, I used to be a really big fan of them, not as much any more but I still respect them a lot. They came out every day and gave it their all and got the crowd moving, extremely nice guys and sounded good, just a little bit out of place on this tour. Still fun and worth watching though, here is their set (I think I might be missing one):
Through The Flames
Stand Your Ground
Heart of A Warrior
The Awakening
All Consuming Fire

The Ghost Inside was really fun, they sounded really good and fit this tour really well, they always get the crowd moving early on in the day and knew how to work the big stages. They played some new material which sounded really good, was fast and heavy. Their record wont be out for a while but keep an eye out for it. One night they played an American Nightmare cover (upon my request) and it was fucking awesome, love tthe band and it was a lot of fun to see them play it. Here is their set
Provoke
New Song
The Brave
Shiner
New Song
Destined
Am Pm (American Nightmare, only played in New York)
Faith or Forgiveness

Crime in Stereo were pretty good to watch also, they had a lot of energy. At first I didn't really like them, I had tried listening to them before and couldn't get into them, but after seeing them 3 days in a row they grew on me and I have their songs stuck in my head. Their best day was in New York, a lot of the kids knew the words and seemed to have a lot of fun, on other days most people just stand there and watch, their not really a band you can move around a lot to (with exception of a couple songs). I don't know much of their material but I know they played these songs I think Im missing a couple though:
XXXX (The First Thousand Years Of Solitude)
Bicycles In Afghanistan
Abre Los Ojos
But You Are Vast
Small Skeletal
I Stateside

Trapped Under Ice were one of the most impressive bands on the tour, they probably had the best crowd reaction out of all the openers. Their best show was definitely baltimore (their hometown), shit was nuts, was almost crazier for them then Terror. Security was cool about everything in Baltimore so kids could pretty much do whatever they want, it was a lot of fun. In New York and Philly the barricade was pretty big and security wasn't as cool with stuff, the dude would just throw the mic into the crowd though for some of the parts. Definitely make sure you check them out, one of the best bands on the tour and can possibly steal the show. They did have a fill in guitarist though (the guy from terror) he learned all their songs in a day and they sounded great so it doesn't affect their set too much (might be missing one or two, not in order):
Half A Person
Skeletal Heads
Brain Waves
New Song
Soul Vice
Stay Cold
New Song
Evelyn
Street Lights
Reality Unfolds

Death Before Dishonor were a lot of fun too, I haven't listened to them as much as I should but they were a lot of fun to watch and had a lot of energy. They played some new songs and they sounded really good so I will have to check out their new record. In Philly they played a cover but the crowd didn't get into it at all so they didn't play it the next two days, not positive on what the cover was but I think it was Blood for Blood (they covered blood for blood last time I saw them). I don't know their material enough to post a set but I know they ended with Friends family Forever, also they did not play True Till Death (the song I know best by them). Definitely a fun band to watch.

This is Hell of course was awesome, they are my favorite band on the tour, them alone was worth following the tour. If you haven't heard of them you will definitely be impressed by them, they are probably the most under rated band in hardcore right now, their new material sounds really good too so keep an eye out for their new EP in August. If you have heard of them, make sure you support them and have fun for their set, not enough people go nuts for them. New York was a lot of fun, the crowd was really into them. I missed them in Baltimore due to circumstances out of my control and was really bummed about that, so make sure you get their early on the days they open. In New York they played a cover song but I have no idea who it was, it sounded really good though. Here is their set, support this band!:
Intro
Prelude (Again)
Reckless
Permanence
The Search (New Song)
Retrospect
Deliver Me (or the cover song)
Polygraph Cheaters
Broken Teeth

Vision was also a really fun band to watch. I had never heard of them before this tour, but they are an older punk band and have been around for years, the guys still put on a great show every night. Definitley a band I need to check out, they are done for the tour until the Jersey show but are worth listening to if you like older punk bands, they really have a little bit of everything. They are also really nice guys and worth supporting. Here are some of the songs I know they played:
Two Wishes
Once
Wipe the Slate Clean
In the Blink of An Eye
Close Minded
The Kids
Falling Apart

Terror as always was a ton of fun, crowd usually went the craziest for them, they know how to get the crowd going each time they play. It is wierd seeing them in such a big place with a barricade and everything but they definitely made the most of it. In Philly and New York security was good enough to keep the kids from getting on stage, but in Baltimore there were a bunch of kids (including me) that were able to get on and stage dive and stuff, show was nuts each night but Baltimore was probably the most fun. Your gauaranteed to have a fun time watching this band, their set was a little shorter then usual but I enjoyed it a lot, has a little bit from everything:
Intro
Push It Away
One With The Underdogs
Out Of My Face
Last of The Die Hards
The Damned The Shame
Overcome
Life and Death
Betrayer
Always The Hard Way
Keep Your Mouth Shut

Madball was also a ton of fun, no matter how tired you were they somehow put energy into the crowd, they are very fun to watch. You can tell that they are all just having a great time and are having a lot of fun on stage. Again it is dissapointing to see them in such a big place but they make the most of it by bringing the mic to the crowd and encouraging kids to get close. New York definitley was the most fun for them, everyone went crazy, it was awesome. Baltimore was a little boring, only certain people went crazy for them, they almost didn't finish their set, but towards the end there was a little more energy in the crowd. I don't know all of their material but they played a little of everything, seemed to please the crowd. Here is what I remember from their set, I may be missing a few:
Intro
Set It Off
For My Enemies
Cant Stop Wont Stop
Hold it Down
Get Out
Lockdown
Inflitrate the System
Look My Way
Heaven and Hell
Its My Life
Demonstrate My Style
Pride

Poison The Well headlined in Phillly but not New York or Baltimore, they were decent though, they had a pretty good crowd reaction in each city, but it was obvious most people weren't there for them. I still enjoyed them, I don't know their material well at all but they did play Slice Paper Wrists and a couple other older songs that got the crowd going (Im pretty sure they played Nerdy, but not positive if that was the song Im thinking of), sorry I can't give a full set list.

Overall this was an amazing tour, all of the bands are worth watching and the fact that it is only $10 to get in is fucking awesome. If this tour comes to your city you can not pass up the opportunity to see these bands. The biggest complaint is the venues but for the most part it really doesn't effect the show too much, in some ways it is more impressive because you really get to see the entire floor turned into a massive pit. I will be going to this show at least 3 or 4 more times, so I will update with any additional information.

[xBLACKOUTx]

No FL date. Dammit.

[rising_tied]

10 bucks. Not bad at all.. I might hit this up if I dont got work

[Hainzey X]

@batman138 : great review. really helpful. thank you.

a couple of the bands noted how hard the producers worked to put this tour together and how a lot of bands were " eating shit to be on this tour ", which I can imagine. they must be paying these bands peanuts for this tour, but its good to see bands playing for the right reasons. I mean, obviously. there's no other explination for these bands agreeing to this tour other then loving to tour and play music. really glad I went to the philly date.

[Batman138]

Thanks, glad I could help.
Yeah everyone really needs to support this tour, all the bands and the people that put this together deserve the support.

Also something kind of interesting I forgot to mention: at the beginnig of Terror's set in Baltimore HR from Bad Brains was randomly on stage for the beginning of it just chilling, walking around pretending to play guitar for terror, at one point one of the security guards tried to wrestle him off stage, but Scott Vogel stepped in and had security chill out, then said "welcome the newest member of Terror... HR" haha

[duhpunk]

I'd like to see War of Ages, no FL date though.

[the daniel]

I love Poison the Well's new record and I hope they'll be playing some songs off that at the Toronto date

[Batman138]

Apparently the show in knoxville today got shut down during the first band (local) when they played a Merauder cover:

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Knoxville Police arrested several concertgoers Monday afternoon at the Valarium music club on Blackstock Ave. when a fight spilled out of the club and into the parking lot, according to KPD spokesman Darrell DeBusk.

DeBusk says a concert event, which was called "10 for $10," had just begun around around 3 p.m., and officers got the call about a fight around 3:30 p.m. The concert was supposed to last all night, according to DeBusk.

He says when bouncers tried to break up the fight inside the club, band members and people in the audience turn against the bouncers, and the fight moved outside and into the parking lot.

Once police arrived and took control of the scene, DeBusk says "about 10" individuals were taken into custody. He ways they will likely face charges ranging from disorderly conduct to inciting a riot.

No identities have been released.

The club was closed after the event, DeBusk says.

Then there was a house show with The Ghost Inside, This Is Hell, Crime In Stereo, Trapped Under Ice, Death Before Dishonor, and Terror.... wish I could have been there

[AEast317]

fuck that house show would have been SO SICK!

[muffinstylings]

I love Poison the Well's new record and I hope they'll be playing some songs off that at the Toronto date

Yea, they're playing at least one or two songs off of everything. Off of the new one they played Exist Underground and one more I forget the title of.

[ACA]

I haven't seen cops come to a show and beatdown anyone since Saosin played a bowling alley about five years ago. Some shitty band called No Warning opened, and police just came in and beat the fuck out of people.

[SteveLikesMusic]

Catching the last day of this in Buffalo, just for CIS and PTW.

[Batman138]

Fixed

Good, thats what they get for going to see Saosin.

[rising_tied]

thank you for fixing that No Warning statement Batman

and LMAO openthispit, thats the same thing I was thinking

Anyone want a ticket to pomona next week. I have to give up my ticket due to work commitments. I payed presale ticket price so $17 will cover it. PM more or shoot me a line at kelsteenerico@yahoo.com if you want it.

[Nick Gerli]

Why do people have to be absolute retards sometimes? Any man who is above the age of 16 and feels the need to settle a stupid disagreement like "O, he accidentally hit me while throwing down" by fighting deserves to be shot.

I may take it for the $10 price, but no way for 17, these shows won't sell out, its only $10 at door.

[fezmar9]

i would sure love to see a poison the well set

[AntiCult]

i would sure love to see a poison the well set

yeah me too.

[Batman138]

Its been a couple days, but I went to the Atlanta show last week and it was fucking amazing, best show of the tour so far. Security was being really cool and there were maximum stage dives and crowd surfing, it was insanity especially for TUI and Terror. This is Hell had a really good crowd reaction too which doesn't happen often in Atlanta, there was good crowd reaction for all the bands.

The Ghost inside played the same set but added Siren Song to their set. Terror played basically the same set but in a different order and opened up with Out of My Face which was awesome, they also played Spit My Rage.

Unfortunately I don't know Banes material enough to come up with a set, but they did end with Can We Start Again which was really fun. I may be able to give some more songs next week when I see the California shows.

[GU!2009]

Anyone want to meet up at the show tomorrow? I'll be chillin by myself because my friend bailed on me. :/

[calciumwaste]

if anyone else has gone to this, i'm curious how much of Crime In Stereo's set is from Is Dead vs. older material. they are my main reason for going, but i pretty much just listen to Is Dead all the time and rarely listen to any of their other albums.

(thanks Batman138 for what you posted, but you said you were missing a few songs, so i'm still curious)

I believe they dropped off the rest of this tour to go record their new album, (they weren't in Atlanta or California) so don't be bummed if they aren't at your show. And honestly most of their set was from Is Dead so you should be pleased by it.

[saofan_315]

Is there any way to find out which shows start at which time? I'm going to the SF show tomorrow and I'm guessing it will start around 3pm, but I'm not sure. I just don't want to miss A Ghost Inside.

EDTI: nevermind. I found the 10 for 10 myspace page and it says the show starts at 3

You should be fine, I believe the lineup for tomorrow is:
Killing The Dream
This Is Hell
War Of Ages
The Ghost Inside
Trapped Under Ice
Death Before Dishonor
Terror
Bane
Madball
Poison The Well

Get there early though cause Killing the Dream is amazing, shows usually start at 3:30.
I wish I could make it up there but it is too far and I don't have a car.

[Nick Gerli]

Anyone come up with a more concrete PTW set yet?

[the daniel]

Does anyone know if Poison the Well played more of the new stuff or their old stuff?

[Hockeywall]

^I take it your going tomorrow as well?

I'm really contemplating going, just want to go with someone since the Opera House is in a pretty sketch part of Toronto though.

[inertiatic_sks]

Here's a pretty rough setlist of what they played in Dallas. All the songs are in there, but not in order.

Slice Paper Wrists
Artist's Rendering of Me
Letter Thing
Zombies
Antarctica
Exist Underground
Cinema
Crystal Lake
Papelmousse
Nerdy

Yup, i'm going today and I'm just going for Poison the Well and because the tickets are so damn cheap. I'll be that random asian kid that looks totally lost and out of place standing at the back with some "scene-looking" kid. Hes a good friend of mine and I'm not going to lie, he can be be mistaken for a scene kid. If you see me, don't be afraid to say hello. I'm leaving after Poison the Well, you can just leave with me and my friend. We're taking the TTC back to King or Queen station. So you can tag along. Mind you that I'm 17, not some 30-something-year-old rapist lol.

Reason enough for me to go, and reason enough for me to mad that i wasn't able to go.

[the daniel]

Worst show of my entire life.

[Hockeywall]

^I only caught Trapped Under Ice, a bit of The Ghost Inside, Ensign, Terror, and PTW.

Just wanted to say.... I'm all for throwing down/hardcore dancing and shit, but not when kids are being absolute FUCKTARDS about it. I know because your the biggest guy in the crowd[the guy i'm talking about, not the poster above] but it doesn't mean you need to be a "bully" in the pit. There is an area to do your shit, in the pit. Not purposely throwing windmills, kicks, and elbows at the people around the pit. This dumbass was delibertly elbowing/punching/kicking kids and smoking the bystanders. He nearly killed a group of 15-16 year old girls standing there with a windmill/kicks. If your going to be a fucking idiot like that, please get out of the pit. 2-3 guys went after the guy and were like "dude, what the fuck your punching girls?! Your real tough buddy"

Also, 2-3 scuffs broke out which turned into hugging matches which was pretty funny.

TUI was good, although I didn't know any Ensign/Terror songs, they were also pretty decent. Poison The Well was good as well. Expected a encore and their setlist seemed pretty short.

[inertiatic_sks]

Yeah, it really did. I was expecting them to play for at least an hour and it was more like 45 minutes. Anyone know if they're going to be headlining the tour with Billy Talent? Billy Talent kinda disappeared for the last couple of years and I never hear about them anymore.

Not in Canada dude! They are still huge here, and around the world[but apparently no one cares about them according to eric lorrainger with the AP review]

They have been focusing mostly on international tours, really hoping for them to go on a full-blown headline run of north america soon. Here in Canada[as well as europe] they easily fill arenas. I think i'm gonna drive down to one of the US dates to catch them in a small venue.

I hated that show, it was one of the worse experience I've ever had. These kids have no respect what-so-ever. I wasn't even on the floor, I was standing where the staircase is because I didn't want to get involved with those assholes. At one point, 3 dudes were stomping on one poor little guy. For what reason? I don't know. But it made me sick to my stomach, thats all I'm gonna say

[RiCCioLi]

no bane set lists? come on guys
