10/10

First time seeing Evaporated (fapfapfap), Song for the Dumped, and I think Emaline. I think it might be the first time I've seen him do Such Great Heights, too.

Freebird is a Lynyrd Skynyrd cover and they can shred so it's definitely okay to post this set here.

The opener was Kate Miller-Heidke from Australia and she's the 2nd best opener I've ever seen with Ben Folds (first would be Rufus Wainwright). She did an excellent cover of Toxic by Britney Spears.
