My wife and I drove from Detroit to Cleveland to see OLP for our fourth time. The Cleveland crowd was amped up to see the band and there was electricity in the atmosphere. The fans swayed to the music, singing along with Raine. Raine was clean shaven, losing the full beard he sported during his Detroit performance on the first half of the US club tour. After a two week layoff since returning from their European tour, the band looked refreshed. OLP sounded extremely tight with Raine singing and performing with emotion. Raine could sense the excitement flowing from the fans and he mentioned it several times. Raine's performance was stellar, but the final encore lacked his signature climbing into the balcony from the stage. (To be honest, the HOB venue was not conducive for Raine to do any climbing). Steve's guitar was screaming. Many of his lead solos were "album perfect". Jeremy's assertive drumming blended perfectly with Duncan's bass as Duncan plucked away at his strings from stage right. During many of the songs, Duncan struck a "Captain Morgan" pose, with his left leg propped up on his playback amp, as he surveyed the crowd. After the show, my wife and I waited by the tour bus with other fans. We were able to meet Steve and speak with him for about 10 minutes. Watching a great concert and meeting Steve capped a wonderful and rainy night in Cleveland.

While I have heard OLP on the radio for many years, I am a relative newbie to their complete discography and seeing them perform live. I wrote down the setlist list as it was performed. I am missing one song which I hope another fan can fill in for me. It is a popular one from their catalogue, I just don't know the title. Hopefully, ClumsyGirl618 or someone else can help me out.

Setlist in order:

9:45pm
1. Allowance
2. Fire in the Henhouse
3. Monkey Brains
4. ?????????
5. Superman
6. Not Enough
7. One Man Army
8. Heavyweight
9. Thief - Acoustic (Raine mentioned this song is OLP's cover of a song written by Nina Kim)
10. Rabbits
11. Clumsy
12. As Fast As You Can
13. Starseed

1st Encore
1. Paper Moon (fading into the next song)
2. Life
3. Naveed

2nd Encore
1. 4AM
11:15pm

Looks like you may have missed two songs. Setlist.fm says that Is Anybody Home?, and Innocent were between Monkey Brains and Superman's Dead. Thief was written for Mina Kim, not by her. She was a young girl dying from cancer that the band got to know. Glad to see Life back in the setlist. I hate when it gets piggy-backed onto In Repair or Naveed. Glad you had a great time and thanks for the setlist!

Thanks for the corrections xjsb125. Innocent was played and Is Anybody Home? was the one I didn't know the title. I see the mistake I made in my paper notes. I started writing on the back of one sheet of my note paper, which I don't normally do. Innocent and Is Anybody Home? did follow Monkey Brains. It appears I was distracted by a few beers and the fun I had singing along with Raine and dancing to the music. I also appreciate the correct background info for Thief which I heard incorrectly during the show.

The concert was amazing!! Although I have been a fan of OLP for years, this was my first time seeing them in concert. HOB was the perfect place to do it because i got to be so close to the stage. The energy was awesome including the guys behind me singing Oh Canada before OLP took the stage. Only problem is now I want to see them again. : )
