[OMGitsAndrew]

Figured to resurrect this thread as it starts tomoro. I got my ticket for Irving Plaza.

[S9Dallasoz]

Will see what sets I can get tomorrow night in SF.

[makeasound]

Innerpartysystem setlist from Chico:
Radio Live Transmission (I can't remember if that's the name or not)
Last Night in Brooklyn
Die Tonight, Live Forever
*new song*
This Town Your Grave
Heart Of Fire
Don't Stop

Holy crap their set was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

...I'll edit this with Saosin's setlist, I don't know the other bands well enough to post theirs.

EDIT: Saosin's setlist:
I Keep My Secrets Safe
Sleepers
Voices
Changing
Collapse
Deep Down
It's Far Better To Learn
The Alarming Sound...
On My Own
I Never Wanted To
Bury Me
You're Not Alone
Seven Years
Fireflies
They Perched...

You could tell it was only the second show on the tour, but I thought they were fantastic. Sounded great, good energy, good times.

[Kid Amnesiac]

this is saosin's best headliner since they were with The Bled and Armor For Sleep. MAKEASOUND, you rock. I'm looking forward to seeing what Saosin will play.

[mimexcore]

Innerpartysystem setlist from Chico:
Radio Live Transmission (I can't remember if that's the name or not)

That was probablly a cover of "Transmission" by Joy Division.

That could be it. I'm not terribly familiar with Joy Division so I wouldn't have caught that. I know they were also playing the song at Warped Tour this summer.

Both setlists are looking good. Saosin didn't play Bury Your Head? Not bummed about that, haha.

[tdunks523]

innerpartysystems setlist is good. i might go to this now

[Five-Star]

Might go to the New Haven show.

[makeasound]

I don't think they've played "Bury Your Head" in almost two years, it seems like they retired it after their last headlining run. I'm not complaining either, I like the song but I'd rather hear songs like "Collapse".

[S9Dallasoz]

Eye Alaska set:
I Knew You'd Never Fly
American Landslide
All hail The High Sea
Rocky Road
Roll Right Over
Walk Like a Gentleman

IPS killed it as usual, love when they can bust the lights out.

& P.O.S. is so freakin' cool, love how he interacts with the crowd.

[cscwell107]

P.O.S. setlist?

[S9Dallasoz]

P.O.S. setlist?

He definitely played "Never Better", "P.O.S. Is Ruining My Life" & "Purist" to close the show.
No "Gunshots".

[wheresadalia]

finally bought my ticket for columbus yesterday. ready for innerpartysystem now :) wish they were playing new poetry or obsession instead of a cover though

[unit254]

Who is P.O.S.?

[aradiantsunrise]

Who is P.O.S.?

A rapper.

[shawnPLAGUES]

A rapper.

An extremely talented rapper.

[Mibabalou]

Might go to the New Haven show.

same

the last few shows ive been to at toads were filled with really young scene kids so idn thats the only reason i wont go

[unit254]

A rapper.

What is a rapper doing on a tour like this?

I mean, I have heard of him, he was on a tour with Underoath and TDWP last year.

Is he any good? I heard he got boo'd pretty much on that tour ^^.

He's extremely talented. Not the mainstream rap you see on MTV (when it actually shows videos) or Fuse. His latest record is amazing.

He also did Warped Tour this summer, and at both the Warped shows I saw him on and the two dates of the PacTour that I went to, he's gotten a great response.

It's a really diverse tour so he fits well I guess, haha. I don't listen to him but he's liked by a lot of people on this website. I saw him for a little at Warped while waiting for Senses Fail, he interacted really well with the crowd so that's cool about him.

Do you think I would like his music? I'm mainly a fan of any metal, emo or hardcore music, hip hop, pop, punk and Christian stuff.

[bradsonemanband]

i only stayed for Innerpartysystem and POS friday in SLC. suuuuch a fun time. both bands are the shit!

[Chellebellx0210]

Last night's show was awesome. Eye Alaska couldn't show up because the snow, so that was a bummer. But like what everyone has been saying, P.O.S. and Innerpartysystem puts on a killer performance. I liked Saosin's set too. And they have the same set list posted earlier.

[bradsonemanband]

Eye Alaska was weird... most of their songs were pretty awesome, their bass player was badass (great dance moves), but the singer looked quite similar to pee-wee herman, and he had strange presence... and he came out eating an apple... hahaha

[makeasound]

I'm not huge into hip-hop, and I love him. If you like a good diverse mix of music, you'll like him.

[Hcanesbb]

IS THE SHIT!!!!! anyone have a setlist though?

Alright, thank you. Any song recommendations?

[makeasound]

Alright, thank you. Any song recommendations?
My favorites from Never Better are "Drumroll (We're All Thirsty)", "Out Of Category", and "Purexed".

I am listening to Purexed, I'm not really digging it.

Review about the sf show, if anyone's interested.

[Steezy]

Anyone got a full P.O.S. setlist?

Or has he played "That One" at any shows on this tour?


Thanks.

[stayillogical]

Woah woah woah... Eye Alaska is no longer playing Storm in the Child's Fountain?

[sw1ft]

POS' set list in Chicago tonight was:

Let It Rattle
Graves (We Wrote The Book)
Goodbye
Drumroll (We're All Thirsty)
Been Afriad
Yeah Right (Science, Science)
P.O.S. Is Ruining My Life
Never Better
Optimist (We Are Not For Them)
Purexed

[sw1ft]

Also, I noteiced something weird tonight. During innerpartysystem I was standing by the sound booth and noticed the guy running the soundboard had a mic and was doing backup vocals. I've been to a lot of shows and have never seen that before.

[__franco]

Went to the show in Grand Rapids, MI.
Eye Alaska did really well, I don't think there was anything bad about their set. I wished they played more songs.

P.O.S did all but one song in the crowd. Unsure if that's a normal thing for him or if the crowd in the front was really that pissed that a rapper was playing.

Quite a few people walked out of the show during Saosin saying they liked the album but the live performance was terrible. Cove could have been sick, I don't really know what they sound on record so I can't compare.

[yayitsjoe]

fucking ridiculous that p.o.s. would ever get booed. whoever did should really re-evaluate if their life is worth living.

i'm not even kidding.

he was the most fun i've ever had while watching someone live.

I know, right?

great guy too. shook my hand, and then i ran off to see adtr. at first i was bummed that i would miss some of their set for p.o.s., but it was totally worth it.

I've heard from some friends who have gone to a couple of the shows this week that Cove was sick after the shows, how true that is I don't know but if it is that could explain it.

He sounded great at the shows I went to... I'd normally even say he doesn't sound that great live, but he sounded the best I've heard him to date.

[bromandudeguy]

going tonight in nyc.. friend backed out, and i'd usually rather not go to a show at all then go alone.. but im pretty damn interested in seeing innerpartysystem's show..
fingers crossed that it will be worth it.

[LocalHAJ]

IPS were really awesome last night in ny. With all the crazy lights, their show is a total trip. New song was really good too. I think this was the setlist:

[Opener] (?? transmission maybe? or a new song?)
Last Night in Brooklyn
New Song
Die Tonight Live Forever
This Town, You Grave
Don't Stop

[aradiantsunrise]

Anyone have a Saosin setlist from the past couple days? Still not sure if I wanna go or not on December 8th.

that's it? they played HEART OF FIRE at the SLC date

[xashkox]

P.O.S. is by far the best act on this tour.

I went last night in Philly just to see P.O.S. and it was DEFINITELY worth it. I've seen P.O.S. several times before, but this was by far the best. He got down into the crowd and really played to those of us who were already fans, while also attempting to include the kids who were "too cool" for hip hop.

I became a P.O.S. fan because of a show I went to a few years ago, and I really hope that he's continuing to make fans when he goes on tours like this.

Well it's not December 8th yet but thanks, haha.

Lol, I am aware of that fact. Are you going to anything before that date?

Nope, that show will probably be the last one I go to this year.

[unit254]

Nope, that show will probably be the last one I go to this year.

Oh okay.

[terrrrrible]

what's the order of bands playing/when has P.O.S. been going on? I want to go tonight but only for him and I'm trying to figure out when to show up.

[LocalHAJ]

In NY IPS- 745, POS- 830, Saosin- 930

[aradiantsunrise]

No recent Saosin setlists still? Damnnnn.

[wesf23]

Saosin was pretty tight in State College tonight....at the end goofed around with a Slayer, Metallica, Pearl Jam medley haha

LOL!

[DcS]

State College show was solid. I don't have the setlist, but I know they played Seven Years and They Perched on Their Stilts as far as the Ep songs go.

There was a brief loldrama moment when they were talking about the last time they played Penn State....

Chris: "Last time we played here was 03"
Cove: "03?"
Chris: "Yeah you weren't even around yet.. we played with uh... (Lonnggg pause)"
Whole Crowd: "ANTHONY GREEN"
Chris (Obviously not happy): "Who?"
Crowd: "Anthony Green"
Chris: "Ughhhhhh...Actually I was gonna say My Chemical Romance and Taking Back Sunday.. yeah.. no but I know a guy named Anthony Green, I was in a fucking band with him.. But you know what we're here and he's...where he is, so it's cool"
Cove: "Well what he's not doing is playing heavy fucking music right now so we're gonna play"

It was pretty awkward actually. And the little Medley jam session thing at the end was awesome.

And InnerPartySystem should have played longer.

[mlg_12345]

norva show tomorrow!

[Drow Swordsman]

Went to see them last night, way better show than when I saw Saosin at Warped. I think their new album is a bit mediocre, and I'm fucking tired of Voices (which has always blown) and their new single "Changing" is just as silly, the lyrics are awful and the music sounds like an awkward scene from a musical. I'd much rather them play Bury Your Head than either. Other than that set list was pretty good, I'm not a huge fan of the new album. Perched and Seven Years was a lot of fun, they ended the show with Beau and the drummer doing "Creeping Death" by Metallica for a bit and "Raining Death" by Slayer. Not enough crowd interaction (imo). Every other show at this venue I've been to the vocalist gets really into the crowd, sometimes crowd surfing or giving the mic to fans who know all the lyrics.

Decent show, $20 not wasted.

Wow, what an immature thing for them to do. Maybe they didn't notice, but Anthony's in a band that didn't go mainstream just because they signed to a big label, in a band that still writes meaningful (and beautiful) lyrics. I love Saosin (for the most part) but it really flusters me that after 5 years they're still being dramatic about it all.

+1 to Innerpartysystem having WAY too short of a set list.

Well, he's friends with Cove apparently. Cove sang with him last year at Chain Reaction. I think Beau and Chris are the ones who have the biggest problem with him. They went to some of the early Circa shows but I guess they either never got over it or something else happened.. dunno. That or they're just tired of dealing with the "OMGWEWANTANTHONY" fans. There were rumors of them touring together and Cove said he wants to tour with Anthony at some point... said he never got to see him sing Seven Years, haha.

[aradiantsunrise]

How much are t-shirts on this tour?

[aradiantsunrise]

12/8 Fort Lauderdale

Eye Alaska played really well. The singer had that same brown backpack on from when I saw them last year with Lydia and The Dear Hunter. I believe the setlist was:

I Knew You'd Never Fly
American Landslide
Roll Right Over
Rocky Road
Walk Like a Gentleman

Could be forgetting one.

Innerpartysystem was awesome as hell. First time seeing them live and their light show was incredible.

Transmission (Joy Division cover)
Last Night in Brooklyn
Die Tonight, Live Forever
New song I think.
This Town, Your Grave
Don't Stop

P.O.S. was actually pretty good. He didn't go into the crowd at all but he's a great performer. Don't know any of his song titles though, sorry.

Saosin was great, not the best I've seen them but I still very much enjoyed them. I do feel kind of bad for them though, people are still hung up on the TTN EP and weren't feeling the new songs too much. Their popularity is kind of plummeting.

I Keep My Secrets Safe

[eriatarka24]

At the Anaheim date, local band She Screams Remedy (http://www.myspace.com/shescreamsremedy) will be playing.

[bobby runs]

Might go if a friend wants to.

Would only go for P.O.S. (myself) and Saosin (friend)

[firecrackaaa!]

couldn't care any less about them.

[nashiscash1324]

tonight's crowd was freaking small especially for the marquee.

didn't catch eye alaska.
POS came into the crowd and got everyone going which was entertaining.
Innerpartysystem had technical difficulties but sounded good nonetheless.
Saosin was awesome plain and simple.

overall worth the money.

[firecrackaaa!]

couldn't care any less about them.

Just go for me :-( I was supposed to go to the Soma show but I'm not going to be home now.

[bobby runs]

i'll go if you send me the money.

[firecrackaaa!]

i'll go if you send me the money.

Haha. I'm not going home because of a lack of money. So no.

But you should go to Copeland in La Jolla on March 29th? If you're on break then. Person L is playing. Gonna be fun :) and Ace.

[bobby runs]

Haha. I'm not going home because of a lack of money. So no.

[firecrackaaa!]

WELL LAME.

[Iwudstilldie4u]

Went to the last date, great show.

She Scream Remedy was okay, they are a female-fronted band but the male guitarist does a lot of singing too. I feel liek they jumped on the post-hardcore bandwagon just as it is dying, but they sound like TREOS mixed with Versaemerge. I was disappointed to see the guitarists dancing "crabcore" though.

Eye Alaska was great, but I had hoped they would do something special for a hometown show, which they didn't. I was also hoping for P.O.S. to come in and do "Show Me Daluv," but instead Eye Alaska performed a mostly experiemntal and atmospheric show. Beau from blessthefall came onstage to sing for "All Hail the High Sea."

P.O.S. played before IPS for some reason, and had a good set. Not many people were into him; just one black girl and me. He didn't jump into the crowd but he had plenty of crowd interaction.

Innerpartysystem was intense. It was more chaotic than I had expected, and the crowd got a little dangerous (excess moshing and pushing). Everything went well and I had no qualms except that they didn't play "Obsession."

Saosin was incredible, some great 4-part harmonies. Cove of course was great, but every member had his moment of greatness. Alex Rodriguez of course is a drum god and killed it. To my utmost delight, Brandon Wronski of Eye Alaska came on stage for a duet with Cove on "Never Wanted To."

All in all a great show, but there were parts that could have been improved. By chance, Dustine Kensrue (of Thrice) was there, probably to see his brother Chase in Eye Alaska and I got a picture with him.

Went to the last date, great show.

She Scream Remedy was okay, they are a female-fronted band but the male guitarist does a lot of singing too. I feel liek they jumped on the post-hardcore bandwagon just as it is dying, but they sound like TREOS mixed with Versaemerge. I was disappointed to see the guitarists dancing "crabcore" though.


The guitarists danced crabcore? Surely that must have been a joke...:-d

I don't think so...I cringed as I watched it. They also had plenty of synchronized headbanging. I felt bad that a decent band was resorting to these moves to look legitimate.

Eye Alaska was great, but I had hoped they would do something special for a hometown show, which they didn't. I was also hoping for P.O.S. to come in and do "Show Me Daluv," but instead Eye Alaska performed a mostly experiemntal and atmospheric show. Beau from blessthefall came onstage to sing for "All Hail the High Sea."

All in all a great show, but there were parts that could have been improved. By chance, Dustine Kensrue (of Thrice) was there, probably to see his brother Chase in Eye Alaska and I got a picture with him.

Sweet brag mate. It never occurred to me Dustin might be there because of his brother or else I might have went to this show. Look like Beau is a good friend with Eye Alaska because I saw him and Eric at Saosin's cd release show too.
