I got to the show right before Meg and Dia's set so I didn't get to see Jonezetta. Anyway, here are the setlists!

Meg and Dia
Indiana
Roses
Masterpiece
Courage, Robert
Are You Gonna Be My 'Boy' (Jet cover)
Cardigan Weather
Monster

Their set was actually great. Dia has an amazing voice and she pulled off the songs well. She needs to be more of a frontwoman though. Although she had good stage presence, dancing and getting into it and whatnot, she seemed shy on stage and barely looked at the crowd. Nonetheless, the band put on a great performance.

Bayside
Don't Call Me Peanut
Montauk
Dear Your Holiness
Duality
Existing in a Crisis (Evelyn)
Blame It On Bad Luck
The Walking Wounded
I and I
Devotion and Desire

Bayside, in my opinion, were the highlight of the show. From the moment Anthony and Jack walked on stage and strapped on acoustic guitars for the Peanut song to the last chords of Devotion and Desire, Bayside were stellar. I haven't seen them in 3 years (with FOB back in the day haha), and I was just blown away. I was actually surprised they didn't play any songs from Sirens, not even Masterpiece. The songs from their self-titled were great though and their new songs sounded amazing. Overall, I thought that they should have been the headliners as much as I like Anberlin.

Anberlin
A Whisper and A Clamor
Never Take Friendship Personal
Hello Alone
Readyfuels
Adelaide
A Day Late
Paperthin Hymn
Unwinding Cable Car
A Heavy Hearted Work of Staggering Genius
Dance, Dance Christa Paffgen
Dismantle. Repair
Godspeed
*Fin

The set was pretty much the same as the other shows with only a few changes. They didn't play Feel Good Drag which I thought was weird because they always play that song. And yeah, I was disappointed they didn't play Time and Confusion either even though I already knew that. The beginning of their set was okay. It was hard to hear Christian on the first few songs because the bass was too loud, but it got better as their set progressed. The guitarist who replaced Strayer was actually really amazing. The new songs were spot on too. And for the first time, I actually enjoyed watching them play Christa Paffgen. I never liked that song that much, but it's really good live. Overall, Anberlin were great as always. But yeah, no Time and Confusion.

This tour is great! Check it out! I know I will see it again in Pomona!! Wooo Bayside!!

13 songs is enough I suppose...especially with two songs that are about 8 minutes!!!

I would really like to see Cadence and a couple covers live...but I guess I should have got into Anberlin much sooner! Cant wait til the show March 16th

that's pretty much exactly what the other bands played in Charlotte.

I can't believe we didn't get *fin on the first night of the tour. I'm going to have to attend this in Columbia on the last date of this tour.

what a solid mixture of songs from NTFP and Cities. im excited! but no time and confusion makes me mad, i love that song live, and so do crowds.

I'm really stoked on Cities, but I'm glad I found out before the show that they aren't playing Time and Confusion or Feel Good Drag (2 of my favorites) because I just would have been bummed.
I'm still stoked for the 9th and 13th though.
