The last time the band played New York City was on February 25, 2011. Set balance as followed:

After the show in Connecticut expectations are high, but I think it won't be as spectacular. It'd be nice though, the family is there so I wish them a great show.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

I find myself agreeing with you Seb. I'm thinking something hohum compared to the last Garden show, let alone the crazy Conn. show. I'm hoping for at least a few rarities/gems.

Seb you need to change the month. It should be February 25, 2011

I hope for you guys that the set is a wonderful combonation of last night and MSG night 2.

I think this night would (should!!!!) be quite different... last night was new-amazing set!!
I prefer short with no autopilot rather than long with vanillax3

I bet some surprises:
"HappyNow" as opener
"I Believe"
"SomethingToBelieveIn"
"Bullet"
"BellsOfFreedom" (Lybia Problem)
"RideCowboyRide" as opener for Wanted
"TILTIL"

anyone gives more??!! jajaja

A very long set as it's the last time they'll be playing "The Garden" for a long time, but I assume a lot will be Jon-pleasing songs. So I predict that WLOL, LH, ILTT and Captain Crash will all show up.
A few "rarer" songs might appear, I'll go for:

I'd Die For You
Never Say Goodybe (on the circle)
either Dry County or Always opening the encores
Bullet
Welcome To Wherever You Are

Vanilla! And more vanilla.

Please no vanilla, I want chocolate fudge swirl with nuts and for the cherry on top HEY GOD!!!! Please. I just spent more than I wanted on tickets so I'm crossing my fingers

me too - mom and bro in tow...suspending my protest.....such a toughie i am :)

Maybe it's just wishful thinking but since last night was such a short set and there isn't another show until March 8th, I think we're in for some good stuff tonight!!!
