Our town is virtually tied for Set #2 or Set #3. As good as this set is I really want to hear all of The New Order. I'm deathly tired of Souls of Black, Alone in the dark & Practice what you Preach. Give me Eerie Inhabitants, Trial by Fire & Musical Death over those 3 and I would be happy as hell. If they busted out Nobody's Fault I would probably lose it but I heard Chuck doesn't like singing it.

How was Lazarus AD? I've heard good things about them.

They were very good. I enjoyed their set and will probably look into their CD.

Unearth on the other hand.......

Yeah I'm a big Unearth fan but their setlist is wack! How do they not play Giles every night? I think This Glorious Nightmare is a great song too but they never play it either. I haven't been able to get into the new cd at all but figured I'd start jamming it with the show coming up.

I really hope I get Disciples of the Watch.

OBEY!

They seem to be moving away from the rare songs and towards the staples. They took out Dog Faced Gods, Raging Waters & 1st Strike, and replaced them with The Preacher, Electric Crown & Alone in the Dark.

yeah I ddin't realize there were as many songs off Gathering as the new cd. I'm surprised Skolnick would agree to that. I mean James Murphy's solos are SICK on that cd but Alex was very anal about playing HIS stuff on the 1st reunion tour.

Bostaph is used to playing Lombardo's drums so that should work but I'd rather hear Sins of Omission, Dog Faced Gods, Hail Mary and APOCALYPTIC CITY! 2 songs off Souls of Black (their worst cd) is 2 too many in all reality. I'd rather hear new cd shit than some of the old retreads.

I'm really hoping for the The New Order set. My buddy books gigs around here and just moved the show from Rams Head (2500 people) to Recher Theatre (600 people) due to lack of ticket sales. As of yesterday they've only sold 400 F'n tickets! Sux!

Meanwhile Citizen Cope sold out Rams Head in 30 minutes. WTF????????
