Who you heard was the Bluegrass tribute version of OSC
Chester even danced to it after a DBS show

Oh. My. God.

The best of the three LP shows I've been to, easily.

They seriously brought it in Las Vegas. I just got back to Sacramento this morning (long ass drive with mucho traffic).

Highlights:

WRETCHES & KINGS!!! When they teased it to start off the show and when into Papercut, I was a little disappointed but not for long due to the fact that it was fucking PAPERCUT. That song hasn't gotten old to see live. But when the first notes of W&K started, I knew we were in store for a better (imo) setlist than they had been playing before the 5 date cancellation. (I would never take BITS over W&K)...

GIVEN UP! My first time seeing it, they didn't play it in 2007 when I saw them and they did not disappoint.

FAINT. Enough said.

The APFMH bridge in BIO. I was expecting BITS chorus and was totally surprised by the inclusion of the APFMH verse and brdge. The place went absolutely nuts.

The energy from the band was stunning. Especially Chester. I was expecting a weaker performance but he sounded WAY better than Chula Vista in 2007.

If I had anything to gripe about, it'd be the inclusion of NMS. I don't particularly care for the song and I probably would've been more satisfied with any other song from HT, M, MTM, or ATS. Haha. And the absence of Blackout, but I wanted W&K and GOT IT. So I'm good.

 

Sounds like it was an awesome show!


@Derek Thanks for the compliment! I wanted to get a quick tour post in before I flew out to Seattle last Friday

 

That's what it was? well I dig it. XD
