It was fantastic. That is an understatement for it. I sat in the balcony with my two friends. The opening band, Fingertight, I didn't really like.
OLP came on and ruled the stage. I've been a fan since Clumsy, but this is my first time seeing them in concert (which I regret, I wish I had seen them with Mike. I had the opportunity to see them at the Buzz Fest in Burlington in 97, but I didn't go.)
Here's the set list (in order, I brought a pad and pen to write it down):
All For You
Do You Like It?
Superman's Dead (which was one of the highlights for me, there was a lot of energy)
Naveed/Life (I love the way they did Life and the little jam before the verse)
Not Enough
Bring Back The Sun
One Man Army
Whatever (Raine talked about Chris Benoit before it)
Is Anybody Home?
Innocent
Right Behind You (I was looking forward to this, one of my faves)
The Birdman (the heavy jam part at the end was cool)
Clumsy
Are You Sad? (Raine talked before this also)
Starseed (where Raine asked everybody to get up)
Encore
In Repair (OMG, another of my favorites)
Somewhere Out There (got the most crowd reaction, of course)
Neon Crossing (I wasn't expecting this)
4 AM (sing along was pretty good, I was one of the few in my section of the balcony who sang though, I alone, sang the high "And I hope to God I figure out what's wrong" near the end, I also sang the harmonies on other songs that Duncan or Steve didn't sing, such as the higher part in In Repair.)
Raine's voice was pretty good, he sang One Man Army lower than usual (maybe he's been doing this on the whole tour, I don't know.) Steve, Duncan, and Jeremy were all in top form.
Great show, best concert I've been to. The only thing that I didn't appreciate, I kind of liked it though, was that nobody but me was singing in my section. I sang every song. I was hoping there would be more huge fans there (in my section, I'm sure in other sections there were fans who were singing along and knew all the words to every song).
