Okay, my set-list is based on memory, so I may have missed a song (I'm pretty sure I didn't though), and I know it's in the wrong order other than the first 3 and last 2.
At the start of the set Adam announced that 2 band members had to leave the tour early because their wives had babies, so various members of Augustana would be filling in on different songs, while their lead singer stayed on stage pretty much the whole time which led to a bunch of duets and harmonizing between him and Adam. Due to this, they said that Counting Crows would not be playing tonight, but rather the Adam Duritz fronted cover band, "Augustana and Everything After," which I thought was pretty funny. Anyway, the set-list was as follows:
Caravan (Van Morrison cover)
Why Do You Come When I Call (Adam said this was the first time they've ever played this song live)
Mr. Jones
Good Time
Hard Candy
A Long December
Hanginaround
Come Around
Catapult
Rain King/Mr. Jones/With A Little Help From My Friends
Holiday In Spain
Just before "Rain King," Augustana sang a cover song that I didn't recognize. Then, Adam said that the whole encore leaving the stage and then coming back thing was bullshit so they were just gonna keep playing instead of wasting 5 minutes of their set standing in the back. Before "Holiday In Spain," Adam did his roll-call of the various charities at the show, and then said the line of the night for me, "Trust me, I don't give a flying fuck who you vote for or what political party you belong to. Just do your duty as an American citizen and go out and vote." They didn't play that many songs as the headliners (Maroon 5 played before them), but as usual most of the songs lasted quite long. I've seen them many times over the years, and I was a little disappointed with the show until Rain King, which might have been the best single song I've ever seen them perform live (Augustana did a lot of background harmonizing which was amazing, plus the various lines from "Mr. Jones" added in and the whole song for "With A Little Help From My Friends"). Overall it was a very good show. I'm going to see Less Than Jake tonight at some random club in New Port Richey (this is quite a good weekend for me), so I'm going to try to get a set for them up tomorrow too.
