40 fucking songs. only the third time out of my mind's been played. first time bugs has been played, with ed on the accordian. whip it was the devo cover with the band dressed up in devo outfits. sweet lew's never been played.

i don't want any wisecracks, i know there's a couple fans around here and your precious pop-punk indie bands could never pull this stint off.

just go to one show and your chances are pretty good.

tonight's show lasted from 9-12:30 tying 5-3-03 with the longest show they've played. apparently towards the end of the second encore ed said "we're never playing this long again!"

an audience pull of tuesday's show is up at trader's den. official bootlegs should be on their official website in a few weeks.

i'm thinking a box set of this has a good chance of being released in stores down the line.

I also had no idea Bad Religion was opening. I wrote these shows off since it wasn't in my city and if I'm going to travel for a show, it's not going to be to see a band play in some anonymous arena (sorry for anyone with sentimental feelings towards the Wachovia Center).

However, goddamn, that setlist from the last night is INCREDIBLE. So many great songs and rarities in there. "Low Light" and "Satan's Bed" have been songs I've been hoping they'll play for years every time I see them.

I've never been a fan of them, but a 40 song setlist, is fucking impressive.

Crazy, must have been some really cool shows.

Maybe I just overlooked it entirely, but did I see that they didn't play Alive at all?

they played alive. and the spectrum is HARDLY an anonymous arena. there's a reason pearl jam played 4 nights to close the place out
