US/CA Fall 2010 tour

21+ venues suck

haha i felt the same way until i was 21! sorry my friend.

Yeah, those girls are way too old for me.

I am so, so very happy. TGA added a Dallas show on October 8th! I'm also going to see The National on October 9th, so it'll be an awesome weekend! The only downside? The XX is also playing the 8th I really wanted to see them, but I gotta go with TGA.

And Verbose.... your avatar is awesome. Calvin & Hobbes are the best!

believe me you are making the correct choice skipping the xx. def the worst band I saw at sasquatch, i love their record too, national on the other hand was one of the best. at least at tga you'll have fun.

Really? That makes me feel a bit better. I guess they're one of those bands that's best in the studio.

gotta agree with you there, absolutely better in the studio. that self titled record is so good.

This is SO true!! 21+ venues are a blessing when youre actually over 21 cause then you don't have to deal with screaming/crazy fangirls and moshing/crowdsurfing idiots.

Interesting to see 1930 in there and that Brian did it solo.

I wonder if someone requested it, because I think they've said they're giving 1930, River's Edge and a few others a rest for the time being.

That Winnipeg set looks fantastic. Not only did "1930" come back, but looks like all the other staples from "SOS," too: "Wooderson," "Joe," "Contender," "Navesink." Wow. I guess condolences for those who were looking for the rarer ones from that album we've seen on this tour, but I'd take this set over the one I saw in Columbus in July (again, on paper). Looks like it has better flow. The only thing missing is ORPHANS! Why is this not an every-night thing?

Edmonton tomorrow! so stoked. the Winnipeg review made me that much more excited. i hope we get Orphans and Old Haunts though.

Gaslight at Edmonton Event Centre woohoo!!!!!

Epic concert!!! Got Tom May and Eric Keen of the Menzingers to sign a Menzingers shirt (they were just hanging around the merch table after the show). Gaslight were stellar!!! I think the highlight for me was hearing them play She Loves You.

there are always those couple of girls and big ass guys that always seem to end up by me for some reason.

Does anyone have the Allentown setlist? My phone went dead... it was an awesome show, one of the best setlists I've heard them play.

Is there a video of 1930 solo? That'd be awesome!

I am severely disappointed at how awesome that setlist was compared to the Lincoln show.

From what I can remember from the show they played at my school last night (UBC), in no particular order:

American slang
Boxer
The queen of lower chelsea
Spirit of jazz
I could'a been a contender
The 59' sound
Great expectations
Miles davis and the cool
I'da called you woody, joe
Bring it on
The diamond church street choir
Old haunts
Stay lucky (might not of played this, but I think they did)

Encore:

Say I Won't (recognize)
The Backseat


I was slightly disappointed that there were no softer songs like HLAYK or BJAWT, but it was in front of a bunch of university students so I understand that they wanted it to be more upbeat. And they're also playing another show tonight, so no worries.

HLAYK or BJAWT

that sounds more like someone throwing up ... (makes me think of Calvin fussing about his food yet again)

so according to Fake Problems twitter they covered Dammit by Blink last night with Brian Fallon on guitar
