One of those weird ones early in the tour with Bad Name opening, which didn't work at all until they finally put Water in it's place (in fact, 2 songs after this Water would be the opening song and stay there)

Tonight's Support: Step Rockets

Strap yourselves in for another copy and paste setlist on another uninspired (Setlist-wise at least) US tour. Fingers crossed, yet again, for something to be added to the set- especially Born Again Tomorrow FFS Jon.

Everyone going, have a great time.

Why didn't it work ?

Just my opinion but it just seemed weird jumping into the song, especially as it had been no. 2 for so long. Something seemed missing. I recall the first few bwc shows lacking a bit of flow.

I see. I think that it is weird because we are so used to it being the second or third song for a long time, but for 95% of the crowd I think it's a great start.

It makes no sense why they skipped Milwaukee. They could have came here from Chicago, then onto Minneapolis, or at least Madison. Oh well.

I had tickets for this show, but then I moved to Washington DC for a job. First Minnesota show I've missed in a really, really long time. I thought about heading up to the MSG for one of those shows, but with the setlists and the cost I couldn't justify it. Hopefully they play near me on the summer leg, if there is one. Hope Minnesota gets a good one tonight, we have definitely gotten many great shows over the years.

Friends Bill and Holly are going. Bill's favorite song is Saturday Night. I hope he gets it.

Today is the release date anniversary of 7800 Fahrenheit... what are the chances of something off that album getting played?

Less than 0.000000%
