mass pike

keith's case
on a wire

on a wire is not a great closer. second time i have seen them do that, and was sort of strange to throw keiths case in there before on a wire to sort of end the show not on a huge note, but was just so awesome to see all of those stwha songs.

"Walking on a Wire" was the closer. And I'd disagree -- I love it as the last song.

That said, the show was amazing -- I definitely was not expecting STWHA in its entirety.

he belts it out, and it sounds great live but its a bit of a lull in my opinion at the end, especially after keiths case. that song was really good, but playing an unknown song against a slow song to close out such a high energy show was a big strange in my opinion. like maybe mass pike into that would have been a better transition. but seriously, cant fucking complain about that show hahah

epic setlist. i'm excited for tonight, hopefully it'll be something similar.

Yeah, I guess I'd agree -- "Don't Hate Me" or "Mass Pike" would have been a more uplifting closer. I feel like anything would have been a let down after STWHA, though.

Wow, they played Something To Write Home About in its entirety at the Irving Plaza show? Jealous! I went to the Brooklyn show last night. It was awesome, but I'm sorry to have missed such a nice surprise/such a nice long set/what seems to be a slightly different set list from what they've been playing on this tour.

[ACA]

wow real good

anyone know the brooklyn setlist?

wow real good

anyone know the brooklyn setlist?

Encore was something like Close to Me/Loner Dottie/Don't Hate Me/10 Minutes....pretty awesome. The classics from STWHA and FMM were in there, along with Overdue, Holy Roman, Anne Arbour, Mass Pike from what i remember. Would love to see a full setlist too

Irving Plaza Halloween show was definitely amazing. They were all dressed as characters from The Wizard Of Oz. One of the most fun shows I've been to in a long time.
