This is simply a warning to any diehard A.F.I. fan attending their present headlining tour. They put on a great show (as always); the sound quality and lighting is amazing. However, they played for only an hour, and played only 1 song off of The Art of Drowning, 2 songs off of Sing the Sorrow, and the rest was Decemberunderground.

I love all three CDs, and I'm not bashing A.F.I. whatsoever. But if you're hoping to hear some of their old stuff (All Hallows, Black Sails in the Sunset, etc.) don't count on it. I was hoping for a two hour set; even a smaller band such as Alkaline Trio played a 2 hour set, with acoustic songs and some of their old albums in their entirety. I can't blame a band that's put out as many CDs as A.F.I. to want to play their new stuff, however.

Just thought I'd offer the heads up.

They usually play no longer than an hour and a half because, their live shows are insane and full of energy.

Understandable. Was just putting the word out there so people don't get disappointed.

Wow really? That sucks. I would've thought they would've at least gone into their back catalogue a bit more. Glad I missed this tour.

Yeah, it was a little disappointing. A band like Nine Inch Nails can play for 2 hours easy with more energy than A.F.I. + play their old stuff. But, everyone's body is different, and not having that kind of endurance is understandable. I still love A.F.I.

they're my favorite,and i've never even been to a concert.(AFI or otherwise.)But I'd really like to see them live,whether they played all day or just a few songs.

Quoting the Lawrence Arms in an AFI thread.
