The show was really good! As expected, they played mostly hits, but they did sneak in Paper Moon. Here's the setlist I remember, probably slightly out of order:
Rabbits (Opener)
Allowance
Superman's Dead
Innocent
One Man Army
Heavyweight
Monkey Brains
In Repair
Paper Moon
Is Anybody Home?
Clumsy
4am
Starseed
A few things stood out: Comparing to the US shows I've attended, I was really glad to see two songs from Happiness, since they often avoid that album in the lower US. I was surprised they opened with Rabbits, but it sounded amazing! Definitely a live favorite for me now. Also, Raine really freaked the fuck out in Paper Moon, right at the second verse where "You sell your clothes, you sell your car..." He was basically yelling, then screaming, and dropping an F-bomb... which really gave the song some aggression and despair. I thought it was awesome, but makes me wonder if those lyrics really registered with him recently. Lastly, the rain held off for the most part until the very beginning of 4am, when it started coming down pretty steady and rained through Starseed. Rain + 4am + Starseed intro = Spiritual!
