Copeland / Lovedrug / Lydia Tour

[Blindsided1459]

I'm surprised there isn't a thread for this yet. Tour starts tomorrow. Anyone going? I'll be at the show in Towson on Thursday. I've seen Copeland live a few times opening for other bands, but never really checked out their stuff until a few weeks ago, and I've really gotten into it. You Are My Sunshine is beautiful. Been a big fan of Lovedrug for a long time. I hadn't heard Lydia, but after checking them out, they sound real good as well. Pre-ordered the re-release of Illuminate from SmartPunk and got a free shirt (all for $10.50 - FTW). Anyway, should be an awesome tour and I'm looking forward to seeing what all three of these bands' setlists look like. Anyone going tomorrow or Wednesday, setlists for any of the bands would be greatly appreciated.

[patpratt]

Post set lists! I'll be in Minneapolis for Halloween show! woo!

[whipcream4teen]

I'm going over a month from now but def interested in the Copeland setlist.

Basically they need to play California and I'll be set.

[fightoffyrdmns]

Post the setlist ASAP if you go tomorrow.

[kigginsthisprov]

I'm going to the Orangevale show. I'm still really excited though, mainly there for Lydia and Lights but I've been getting in to Copeland lately.

Identical thread title. Impressive. Well now we have a thread for setlists.

[TSLROCKS]

I'll be at the NYC show in 1 week from today! Anyone else going? I'm fucking pumped

[RamInGoreville]

I have work when it's here thursday and I couldn't take off because I'm already taking off to see Jack's.

So pissed.

[fightoffyrdmns]

I'm pretty sure I'll be at the Richmond date.

[zeropunk16]

I'll be there in Ann Arbor.

I'm going tomorrow. So ready.

[TSLROCKS]

Tour starts tonight! Hopefully someone comes back with a setlist

[MCSmate]

I'll be at the Portland date - 11-07.
Excited.

[atticusfinch]

Copeland posted a bulletin hinting at a very special setlist for this tour, with a few surprises (could it be james would play for the orlando home dates?!?!) I'm highly excited to see what happens here.

[offsetgroupie]

Lights!!

[TSLROCKS]

Anyone go last night?

[fightoffyrdmns]

Anyone go last night?

My friend went, and she said Copeland plays "a good mix of old and new."

I'm not sure I'm going tonight, I'm not feeling well and it's a 2 hour drive.

A little heavy on new jams since it just came out, but I know they are eager to play. Should You Return should definitely be in there though IMO. and some more BMT wouldn't hurt, but it was all and all a great set.

[TSLROCKS]

Thanks for setlists! Can't wait for this show

[Blindsided1459]

Sweeet. Thanks for the setlists. I'm going tomorrow, I'll post setlists for all 3 bands when I get back.

[The Boathouse]

Anybody going to the New York date on Monday? Shit's gonna be ill.

[atticusfinch]

SIIIICK setlist from Copeland. WOW!!! Brightest/When Paula Sparks/No One Really Wins/California = sex.

I absolutely cannot wait for these shows to come here.

[thechrisformat]

Seeing this tonight in Towson. Can't wait, especially after seeing that Copeland set... And Lydia better play Stay Awake. They said they'd play it for me last time, but it never happened. Hopefully this time around, I get to hear it. :-)

[zeropunk16]

I just wanna hear December.

[TSLROCKS]

I'm so excited to see California. I've heard a bunch of live versions and they all sound fantastic. I can't wait for this show! I'm so beyond excited it's actually scary

[patpratt]

did they put on a good show?

[mestupkid9889]

any lovedrug setlists yet? not coming near me but would like to know what they are playing.

I was so in love when Lydia played "It's In Your Blood" - I haven't seen that song live in a good two years and it is definitely my favorite of theirs.

And Copeland closing with California was fucking beautiful. I agree, I could have used a little more BMT.

I'm just in love with last night, all in all. What a good 1,000th post.

Also, Lydia played "Smile You've Won" and not "Stay Awake" - sadly. :( I was seriously trying so hard to recollect last night and how I was there yet did not realize they played "Stay Awake", haha.

Lovedrug just about bored me to tears last night... Everyone else was great though.

[atticusfinch]

Lovedrug just about bored me to tears last night... Everyone else was great though.

Are they playing mostly new stuff now? If so, I'm not so sure it's going to be the Lovedrug I remember of old, when their live shows were amazingly good, and all of their songs sounded great. I have a feeling Lovedrug may let me down a bit.

I mean, I'm not expecting to hear Black Out/Spiders/Down Towards The Healing but it sure would be nice!

I really couldn't tell you. I've never really gotten into them. Two of the people I was there with (who both loved them prior) enjoyed their set, but it seemed really bland to me. But hey, like I said, they loved so maybe you will too. It just wasn't my thing. :-)

[TSLROCKS]

Lovedrug is one of those bands who you have to know before seeing them live. It can easily get very boring if you don't know a single thing by them

[Blindsided1459]

Just got back from the show in Towson. Great show - all three bands sounded excellent. The crowd was really chill, but it was appropriate for the show. Here are the setlists:

Lydia:
Exact same setlist as the one posted from last night's show

Lovedrug:
In Red
Blood Like
Only One
Doomsday and the Echo
Borrowed Legs
The Dirtiest Queen
Everyone Needs a Halo
Pretend You're Alive
Candy

Copeland: (almost the same as the one already posted - slightly different order)
Strange and Unprepared
To Be Happy Now
No One Really Wins
When Paula Sparks
Careful Now
Eat, Sleep, Repeat
Chin Up
Control Freak
When You Thought You'd Never Stand Out
The Grey Man
Not Allowed

Copeland did not play an encore, so no California. I was really surprised by Lovedrug's set. Really heavy on the new album, and only 1 song from Everything Starts Where It Ends. I wasn't expecting so much from Pretend You're Alive either. The new lineup sounded great though, and though I wasn't a fan of most of the new album when I first heard it, the new songs sound really good live.

Fantastic show. Lydia's set (even though I saw nearly the same one the last 3 times I've seen them this year) was fantastic. They really did add new effects and interludes with the songs and sounded better than I've ever seen them before. I finally got to see Copeland play a real headlining set (10 songs on an off-date doesn't count as a headliner, ha) and I wasn't disappointed. Although there were many, Brightest might've been my favorite moment in the set. Absolutely beautiful. Go see this tour if you have a chance, you won't regret it.

[TSLROCKS]

Why no encore?

[thechrisformat]

Damnit, guy beat me to it. Oh well.

WOW!!! I didn't expect to see either of those.

[Blindsided1459]

Damnit, guy beat me to it. Oh well.

Haha sorry man.

[Blindsided1459]

Why no encore?
I'm not sure why they didn't play an encore. It was a little before 10:30, so it wasn't like they ran out of time, and plenty of people were yelling for one. My only guess is that the crowd was so quiet the whole show that they decided against it before going on.

[thechrisformat]

WOW!!! I didn't expect to see either of those.

I'm not a big fan of their music, but those were, by far, my 2 favorite songs of their set.

Wow, is it just me or is that Lovedrug setlist weak as fuck? idk...."Everything Starts Where It Ends" is an amazing album, while "Pretend You're Alive" is soooo boring, I've only heard a couple new songs which I thought were good, but with a heavy dose of Pretend, and me not being a big fan of Lydia, and me seeing all of those Copeland songs live already with the exception of the new ones, I'm sorta glad that this tour didn't come near my are, lol

little before 10:30? tonights show in philadelphia starts at 9:30. I expect an encore and to end around 1. I also dislike the first two songs on this set list for copeland, I prefer suitcase song, on the safesdt ledge and should you return.

ahh I hope lovedrug doesn't kill my high.

[AMAAS]

"Strange And Unprepared" is my favorite song off the new Copeland cd.... "What Do I Know?" and "Chin Up" are close behind tho

[1340rw]

Im going to the the show soon and was mainly going to see lovedrug and yes I am disappointed to see three songs from pretend instead of everything starts...they did choose good ones from the new cd though

in red pretend your alive and candy are all pretty bad songs, especially compared to the other songs they could play

[atticusfinch]

I'd love to see Black Out or Spiders on this tour.

[kigginsthisprov]

Any Lights setlists? Even though it's obvious that it will be her whole EP I'm just wondering about the order.

[aealeman]

Man. I'm disappointed to see Lydia playing two songs from the first album. That album BLOWS. The vocals are horrendous. It's a shame the music is so good, but I can't overlook the piss poor vocals.

Pumped to see Lovedrug playing Candy. That's by far my favorite song. Ever.

[rjp37]

Does anyone know approximately what time Copeland's set will start and stop tonight (10/27) in NYC? Thanks.

[TSLROCKS]

Excited for the show tonight!

[gonfreaks]

Does anyone know approximately what time Copeland's set will start and stop tonight (10/27) in NYC? Thanks.

Well, I went last night in Boston, doors were at 7, show started at 7:30, Copeland went on at around 10 and was done by 11:15ish, so you can judge by that.

[atticusfinch]

Excited for the show tonight!

have fun man! get some good pictures if you can.

[TSLROCKS]

Do they do signing after their set? And I'll try to get some pictures while I'm there

"Strange and Unprepared" seems like a really weird way to start a set. Kind of like when they opened one tour with a the slow version of "You Love To Sing". I enjoy a little more upbeat song to start off a set, like "Pin Your Wings".

I totally agree with you. I think if they wanted to start the set off with a song from the new album, I'd choose Should You Return. Best song ever.

[TSLROCKS]

Tonights show was fucking unbelievable. Chick from Lights is incredibly hot. Those pictures I've seen of her did not do justice. She was actually pretty good too. I liked her set. Lydia did an incredible job tonight too. Lead singer was spot on. He was flowing perfectly. Good stage movement, he did bump into a few of his bandmates frequently. Lovedrug was actually very entertaining. They put on a great performance. Good mix of harder and softer songs. I really enjoyed them. Their set left me wanting more. Next was Copeland. They were nothing short of amazing. They blew me away. They played California as an encore tonight. Words cannot describe how well they were playing. Aaron sounded perfect. I was expecting a lot worse from what I've heard and I can first hand say every bad thing said about Aarons live singing is false. He was hitting everything. I got to meet him after the show too. He was super nice. I wanted an autograph but didn't really have anything so he ended up signing the back of my ipod which was pretty cool. The crowd was pretty awesome. Good crowd interaction with the band members. It was a lot of fun. Great night. I took a bunch of pictures of Copeland that Ill put up if I can figure out how


Highlights: Copeland, Copeland, and more Copeland.

I was at the nyc show as well. I got one thing to say about lights. I think the only thing she does is sing on stage. Shes faking the movements on the keys as was the other guy. I saw the mac they had on stage, and looked at the waves of the spectral being show. IT was the whole backing track. They could have at least tired a little harder to convince people that they were actually playing their instruments rather than singing off a track on the computer.

Lovedrug were fucking amazing, so emotional because he said his gf just broke up with him, so he put so much heart when he was playing. Copeland blew themselves away, the vocals were spot on as was the sound. Lydia was also good, but I would have liked to hear more umpf from the gutiars when the distortion came on, I think they fell flat on that.

Aw poor Michael. But that means he's on the rebound! Lovedrug is always awesome. I don't think they get enough credit from people. They're fantastic musicians.

To tell you the truth, i never liked lovedrug before. I never could get into them, but last night sold me on them. I donno something clicked when I finally saw them. They really did play their hearts out. Its refreshing to see bands like copeland and lovedrug play their hearts out. You dont see that much anymore.

Btw, u went to Ithaca college? I went to college on the other hill...go figure

Oh Ithaca. I miss it terribly. I actually worked for Wings over Ithaca so if you ordered wings I may have delivered them to you.

Have you bought any of Lovedrug's CDs yet then?

[Young Machetes]

I'm kind of glad Lights didn't play in Richmond. Lovedrug's set was so insanely boring, and I know a lot of their material, it's just music that I find very bland.

Lydia and Copeland put out two of the best albums all year, and I'm only glad I could have seen them both on the same night.

Was Aaron totally swamped afterwords with people trying to talk to him?

How did it work after the show? Was he just hanging around?

Aaron was just chilling in the bar with only like 3 people sitting with him talking. He saw I was interested in meeting him and immediately got up. He was really nice. I talked to him for a couple of minutes then got his autograph and left.

[atticusfinch]

Tonights show was fucking unbelievable. Chick from Lights is incredibly hot. Those pictures I've seen of her did not do justice. She was actually pretty good too. I liked her set. Lydia did an incredible job tonight too. Lead singer was spot on. He was flowing perfectly. Good stage movement, he did bump into a few of his bandmates frequently. Lovedrug was actually very entertaining. They put on a great performance. Good mix of harder and softer songs. I really enjoyed them. Their set left me wanting more. Next was Copeland. They were nothing short of amazing. They blew me away. They played California as an encore tonight. Words cannot describe how well they were playing. Aaron sounded perfect. I was expecting a lot worse from what I've heard and I can first hand say every bad thing said about Aarons live singing is false. He was hitting everything. I got to meet him after the show too. He was super nice. I wanted an autograph but didn't really have anything so he ended up signing the back of my ipod which was pretty cool. The crowd was pretty awesome. Good crowd interaction with the band members. It was a lot of fun. Great night. I took a bunch of pictures of Copeland that Ill put up if I can figure out how


Highlights: Copeland, Copeland, and more Copeland.

sounds like a great show dude. glad you had a fun time.

[Phil507]

How many members in Lovedrug are new or weren't in the band before?

[atticusfinch]

How many members in Lovedrug are new or weren't in the band before?

everyone but Michael (lead singer).

[kigginsthisprov]

How much was all the merch? And was there a lot of people at the shows?

[zeropunk16]

From Mindy:

Seems like ive written more updates about us getting into freak accident wrecks that i have about anything else, but i'm starting to think that we are apparently cursed or something....really. Last night we were fortunate enough to make it out all okay after hitting a HUGE deer on an interstate in PA. It completely shredded our engine but luckily didnt completely total it. We are currently in a rental car on the way to our trailer to grab what we cant fit to head to Chicago. We're going to continue the tour acoustic and ride with the other bands until we can get our can fixed to meet back up with us. We're asking if ANYONE has a place for the other half of us to stay at their house for a couple days around New Columbia, PA while the rest of us continue on the tour acoustic....please let us know! and were really sorry to all the michigan folks :o(

mindy

Oh course, they have to miss Ann Arbor

[tacosforcharles]

I'm going in TWO DAYS. Couldn't be more excited.

[tomakebelieve]

i just conned someone into going to copeland with me on halloween! i'm stoked. i am getting late to the show though, so i might miss lydia's set. i know i am definitely missing Lights, but i don't really care.

[kigginsthisprov]

Wait, so Lydia will play the rest of the tour acoustic? Hm, it's nice to see them but it would be amazing to see them actually play with everything the first time I see them

[anamericangod]

I'd love to see Black Out or Spiders on this tour.

Spiders is my favorite Lovedrug song.

[leeroymo]

I really wanted to see a few other Copeland songs on this set list. Should You Return, The Suitcase Song, Love Affair, Sleep, and Don't Slow Down would have been the major ones that I wanted to see. Oh well. Should be an amazing show anyway.

[toximate]

How much was all the merch? And was there a lot of people at the shows?

tees were $15, hoodies were $25. Not American Apparel (some other brand)
as for ppl at the show, depends on the city, and the age limit of the venue...

copeland intro

was this from station 4 last night? someone was way up front taking video but i couldn't see them. I really want to see their video though ... i hope it appears somewhere.

All of the bands just killed it last night. I wasn't able to stay for all of Copeland, but Lights was great. I loved how small and intimate the show was, especially at the beginning of the night. As a guy coming into last night with a 'meh' opinion on Lovedrug, they absolutely blew me away live. It was great. Major props to Leighton, Mindy, and Steve for showing up and putting on a great acoustic show.

loved it.

You'd be able to tell if it was from Station 4 because they were all dressed up as zombies, it was epic. Haha.

[Wisher]

wow yeah duh ... god i'm stupid.

[kigginsthisprov]

Has the Lydia setlist been the same even though they're acoustic?

[iheartconan]

Copeland setlist was the exact same as the one posted by Blindsided1459 at the Omaha show Saturday, except we got the California encore. Amazing show! I just wish they'd played like 25-30 songs haha.. if only. Aaron said everyone was getting sick from "tour funk", though, so I'm probably being quite unreasonable as usual.

Has the Lydia setlist been the same even though they're acoustic?
As of 11/1 they are no longer just acoustic. I'm not very familiar with their songs, though, so I can't confirm that their setlist is the same...

Anyone have pictures of this? Sounds amazing! haha

[fadedmemories]

Lydia:
A Fine Evening for Rogue

Solid set for Lydia

Wait, so they did not play acoustic?

[iheartconan]

Wait, so they did not play acoustic?
Nope, not acoustic. They're playing with a full band now.

[kigginsthisprov]

Nope, not acoustic. They're playing with a full band now.

Yes! Aha, this is amazing. I hate how Lights isn't going to be at our show though. How was she?

[iheartconan]

Yes! Aha, this is amazing. I hate how Lights isn't going to be at our show though. How was she?
I really enjoyed her set, that sucks that you don't get to see her! I liked all of the openers, I wish I could go to more shows on this tour.

[swt_catastrophe]

Yes! Aha, this is amazing. I hate how Lights isn't going to be at our show though. How was she?
wait.. she's not going to be at which ca show? la, san fran or sacramento?
not that it matters if i'm going to all of them, but still...

[kigginsthisprov]

I really enjoyed her set, that sucks that you don't get to see her! I liked all of the openers, I wish I could go to more shows on this tour.

Do you remember her setlist? I'm just wondering if she played Ice because I know she'll play Drive My Soul, Last Thing On Your Mind, White and February Air.

Anyways, I might go to the SF show where she'll play at but I'm not sure...

wait.. she's not going to be at which ca show? la, san fran or sacramento?

She won't be at the Orangevale/Sacramento show because she's shooting a video for February Air. You're going to all of them?! So lucky

Hmm... set list seems to be changing. I really hope they stop playing songs off the new album. I'd kill to hear more off of Everything Starts... + Spiders.

[thechrisformat]

I wonder why Aaron didn't come out and sing Hospital with Lydia

I thought the same exact thing, even before the tour started. As soon as I heard about the Copeland/Lydia combo, the first thing that went through my mind was a "Hospital" collaboration.

[MCSmate]

Seeing them live tomorrow, very excited!

[TSLROCKS]

Have fun! It's a great tour

[kigginsthisprov]

Seeing them in 2 days! I wish Lights was there though. I might go to the SF show also though just to see her.

[TSLROCKS]

She was actually pretty good. I was expecting a lot worse but she really was entertaining. And she's incredibly hot

I listened to her myspace and I still really don't like February Air. But everything else is pretty good. Probably not something I'd listen to very often though

[HelpMeSleep]

I kind of want to go to this.

[Kmarino]

I was in line for 2 hours in Ann Arbor, at a standstill, then sold our tickets to the kids in front of us for this show =(

But I bet it was a great show.

[kigginsthisprov]

This is tomorrow! So excited.

[TSLROCKS]

That sucks. You shouldn't have sold those tickets! It was an amazing show. Every band was great. Shame on you! How much did you get for them?

[TSLROCKS]

This tomorrow! So excited.

Enjoy the show!

[kigginsthisprov]

Enjoy the show!

I'm going to miss Lights though :'(

[TSLROCKS]

I'm going to miss Lights though :'(

The rest of the bands will make up for that. Lydia and Lovedrug were awesome. Lydia played really solid and Lovedrug was just tearing the stage apart. Michael's voice was just simply incredible

[SilenceBrokenTT]

I'm contemplating going to this show next Wednesday as I've never been to the venue and I'm seeing The Summer Set/Brighten later this month there. I haven't checked to see if any setlists have been posted, but any recs?

[TSLROCKS]

You should check this tour out. Every band did a wonderful job but Copeland stole the show. There wasn't a single point during any of the sets where I was disappointed

[luckyboy611]

i havent seen copeland since like 03 i think. do they still all face slightly to the right when they play?

[MCSmate]

The show tonight in Portland was really good. I don't really like Lights or Lovedrug, but they weren't bad. It didn't seem to eventful to me or something as the others.

Lydia had to cut their set short so they didn't play "It's In Your Blood". It because they got on stage late. But they were amazing as I thought they would. Copeland was awesome as well. All of the set lists posted here are the same. Lights came out and played with Copeland for one song. It was great Copeland came back out to play "California". I wish I could've stay longer after the show but I wouldn't have made it to my only bus back home. But Aaron and then Leighton are all really nice.

[MCSmate]

Also there was this one guy at the show "Mimsy" or Micheal or whatever who was sorta in love with Lights and her music. It was all he would talk about before the show.

[MCSmate]

Lastly, unrelated sorta, I also question why all of the members of Lydia play without shoes on...

[Kmarino]

That sucks. You shouldn't have sold those tickets! It was an amazing show. Every band was great. Shame on you! How much did you get for them?

I know. So stupid. I was there mainly for Lydia and kind of upset when I learned they weren't gonna be there. The kids in front of us offered 25 for each. Hot chocolate sounded realllly good at the time. And I was almost certain that we weren't going to get in until Copeland had already started playing.

25 each isn't that bad. But still shame on you!

[Kmarino]

25 each isn't that bad. But still shame on you!

Yeah I paid 13 each.
But yes I know, shame on me.
I am still not sure what the hold up was on why they weren't letting people in the door an hour after the doors opened.
But when we looked inside Lights was finishing her set.

[kigginsthisprov]

Went tonight, it was amazing! I didn't see the rest of the bands because

1. Lights wasn't there
2. My Dad made me leave just an hour and a half in to the show D:<

Anyways, we waited at 3 o'clock in the afternoon until 8:00 at night and we were first in line, so we had the best spot. Since there was no 4th band all the bands got an extra 15 minutes but here's there setlist

Lydia:

A Fine Evening for Rogue
One More Day
This Is Twice Now
Smile, You've Won

I remember the days back in high school (early) where I cared enough to do this all the time for bands.

Not so much anymore.

The magic seems to fade after a certain age. Although, I will say that meeting John Nolan for the first time ever was one of the greatest moments of my life last night.

Glad you had a nice time, and that's a killer Lydia set.

[atticusfinch]

What'd Copeland play with the extra 15 minutes?

I'm scared to find out for fear of turning green with envy for an unforseen time.

[TSLROCKS]

I don't know, I just like being in front. Because I'm short and I hate it when everyone is tall, especially when they're right in front of me. Yeah, Lydia was amazing. After the 6 songs, the just asked requests from people.

[evanbythebay]

Anyways, we waited at 3 o'clock in the afternoon until 8:00 at night

Should've went to the Lydia acoustic in store @ Dimple Records in Sacramento, 30 minute set

[kigginsthisprov]

Should've went to the Lydia acoustic in store @ Dimple Records in Sacramento, 30 minute set

Uh, don't remind me. My Dad wouldn't take us there -____- I think being in front was worth missing out on the acoustic though. At least for me. Anyways, I highly doubt that I'll go to the show in SF tomorrow but I'm crossing fingers. I want to see Lights since I missed out on her! And a second dose of Lydia wouldn't hurt.

[SilenceBrokenTT]

Lydia's doing that with some record shop out in Chandler Wednesday... may have to check that out.

[brokenlungs]

Does anyone want a couple tickets for the San Antonio show on Friday? I can't go. Buy them from me and I'll ship them tomorrow.

[kigginsthisprov]

Going tonight! I'm so fucking excited. I would never imagine seeing Lydia 2 times in the past 3 days.

Ew. Wtf. Why did Lights play more songs than Lydia? That's just . . . wrong.

Well Lydia and Lights have the same amount of time to play (30 minutes). And Lydia has longer songs, and their intro is pretty long also. Lights songs are pretty short.

I just went to this show in San Francisco last night. We skipped Lydia and Lights, and saw a little bit of lovedrug perform. I just went to see copeland. That was my second time seeing Copeland and it was amazing! They sound soooo solid live, it's unbelievable, and with this new CD which is one of my favorites it was even better!! My advice..go see them!!

[peachycick321]

This tour should be extending into Canada..... coz we're waiting. :tumbleweed:

[Ryzenfall]

Lights was good, despite her being dressed slightly for the club or a brothel. But i respect anyone with a keytar.

Lydia was great. My friends didn't like them and i can't understand what wasn't to like, but they did a great job. They really highlighted mindy's vocals which was a nice bonus from her taking a backseat on the album for most of the time.

Lovedrug... i love the band but they bored me when playing their new material. They killed Doomsday and the Echo live and he played Spiders on acoustic. Both were great performances.

Copeland is so much better live than i ever imagined they'd be. Their instant live recordings always made me think i'd hate them live. Blew my mind. And they played California this time.

[n1asfan]

I wonder why Copeland didn't come out for an encore in SF the other night...? Maybe they usually don't.

I love those instant live recordings! California and She Changes Your Mind and You Have My Attention sound great on those instant live albums

[a nice person]

the show was sooooo good last night. aaron's voice has never sounded better, and the band was so in sinc. my only complaint, after about 20 minutes during lydia's set i noticed that i was sitting next to a transvestite, very strange to say the least. but it was L.A. so i shouldn't have been surprised.

[Ryzenfall]

I love those instant live recordings! California and She Changes Your Mind and You Have My Attention sound great on those instant live albums

Hmm... maybe i got a bad recording then. I have one of them at the Granada Theatre. Their live show is a sight to behold though, let the record stand.

[TSLROCKS]

That's the one I have. I really love those live recordings. They've definitely stepped it up on this tour though

[aealeman]

Yeah. Was definitely supposed to drive to San Antonio for this. Didn't go. Had already bought the ticket. Sorry guys.

I think I've reached the point where going to shows with 14 year olds is no longer appealing. . . :-(

[johnh5304]

I sucked it up and went to the Atlanta show by myself after every friend backed out at the last minute. Lucky for me all four groups made it well worth the lonely 2 hour drive. I'd list the set lists but it's pretty much what everyone posted earlier. I just wished Copeland had added "Good Morning Fire Eater" to the list.

geez that sucks about your friends. i had a friend back out, but i was able to find another one to tag along. i couldn't imagine driving two hours to go to a show by myself. but it is copeland:-)

[johnh5304]

Well I'm used to it since Atlanta is the only city near me that bands tour through. I guess I just need more friends with similar taste in music.

[aradiantsunrise]

I'm going to the show in Orlando tomorrow so I'll do my best to get everyone's setlists. I would be going to the sunday show too but I have to do something else instead which really sucks because I already got a ticket for it. :shrug:

I wish this would've come close to me.

Did Copeland play "California?"

[atticusfinch]

Absolutely incredible show last night. All 4 bands were rock solid. Lights is insanely hot. wow. Lydia took a while to set up, but they sounded alright. Unfortunately, we were by the right monitor all night, so it was hard to hear Leighton singing, but Lydia sounded ok nonetheless.

Lovedrug absolutely blew me away, and I didn't expect much from them, even though I've seen them a couple of times before. Wanna know the best part? They played Black Out and Down Towards The Healing. AMAZING. They also threw in Theiving, Blood Like, The Dirtiest Queen, and maybe a couple of others I can't remember.

Copeland was flat out stupendous. Insane set. Pretty similar to everything else posted, and yes, we did get California last night. :) Made my day.

This should be in order for the most part. Note that California wasn't on the set, but they came back to play it anyway. Seriously made my day, and this was AFTER I attended The Gators' home finale earlier in the day.

That show was incredible, everyone played so well! And I agree, Lights is beautiful.

Anyone know the next time Copeland will be going on tour?

[a nice person]

Dude no way you got On The Safest Ledge! I wanted to hear that one so bad!

yeah they played that in L.A. too...seems like they swapped it for "not allowed" halfway through the tour.

i'm guessing they will take a little time off, and then support a band on some tour.

I should have been there tonight, but I decided not to go. I have no idea why, and I'm really bummed. :-(

Dude, I was sooo happy to hear that song. It's easily one of my favorite songs to drive to right now.

Dude, no lie. She is smokin'.

I'm so glad that they did. Not Allowed is kinda boring to me, and I love OTSL.
