Anybody see them on the Rise Against tour yet?

I plan on seeing them when they come through Philly in another week but I was wondering if anybody else has seen this tour yet and how long the are playing?

I haven't seen any of the tour, but I imagine an opening band on a 4 band tour would get around 30-40 minutes

I was planning to see them at Ram's Head Live on Sunday, but being the idiot I am I waited until last night to buy tickets just to find out they sold out, wonderful. I'm still trying to figure out how to get tickets to the show but no one has them for sale on craigslist or ebay.

If someone wants to sell me theirs for double the face value though and see them next week in Philly instead, I'm kind of willing......

I saw them last night, they played for about 40 minutes, went by so quick. They were good though, just not the set I'm used to seeing- seeing them again Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Monday........Good Times.

....so incredibly jealous... I can't take it!

Hey Scott, I'll say again COME TO ENGLAND

What were the dates again? I was supposed to leave Europe at the begining of November, but now it is the end of Novemeber

Make it a bit later November. 3/4/5 December. Just hang around an extra week Scott!

Thanks for the responses. Good to know that their playing more than like 20 minutes.

you are so lucky. i'm actually pretty surprised they're playing so long, that bums me out since i'm not going to the orlando date. pretty sure i'll be seeing their in store performance though, which is pretty cool

Im going to see TGA tomorrow, i heard that they only play like 7 or 8 songs...but ill know for myself when i see them tomorrow.

It's all you need! I reckon you'll also be smiling all way through

STATEN ISLAND TRAFFIC IN THE SUMMER BABY

haha wow your from SI how you know about the summer traffic??? and yeah i will be smiling all the way through their set, i cant wait till they headline again.

It was an amazing show, played about 7 or 8 songs.....i met Alex L and Brian. they were so nice and they are so thankful for their fans. Brian said they headlining again in March.

what was the setlist? I'm seeing them tonight in Philly

hmm they played I coul'da been a contender,wooderson,we came to dance,great expectations, the 59 sound, old white lincoln,and the backseat. i think thats all they played 7 songs.

only 7 songs?!? that is a bummer

seriously wtf only 7 songs

yup i know, they only played for about 30 mins....they stole the show...but i gotta admit at first i thought NOBODY knew about them because when i waited on the line for the venue i kept hearing "who the fuck is this gaslight manifesto or whatever the fuck they are?." Iwas like there amazing!!. When gaslight came one i saw a few people really into them and they made new fans which is always good. I just cant wait till march when they headline again if your in the NY area Brian said GA might play irving plaza or webster hall.

I'll be seeing them on this tour on Nov. 2nd, it should be pretty sweet. I'll take 7 songs over nothing.

yea def, thats how i felt too. ill take the 7 songs...i mean i havent seen um since the record release show. so i was stoked to see them again.

I'm pretty sure they performed more than 7 songs last night although I was disappointed to not hear them play Drive in their set for the first time (seen them 2 other times now).

Saw them last night in Philly. Not saying it because I'm a Gaslight Anthem fan, but they seriously sounded and performed the best. Rise Against had a great performance and the crowd was nuts but even knowing all the words you couldn't follow anything he was saying.

Thrice was fucking terrible.

Thrice sucked... that is a bummer

I'm not a big Thrice fan, but I'd seen them before and thought they were great live.

as iposted in the acoustic set thread for the 10/12/08 show:

I was at that show as well. I was the guy who made the recording of the 8-17-2008 Boston show and...


I have full audio of the 10-12-2008 acoustic show on the Rise Against tour.


AND....i've got 3 or 4 full videos as well.

and the cover they played was NOT 'i'm On Fire.' It was "A Letter to Elise' by The Cure and it was amazing.

i'll try to have that online for download in a day or two. i've been really busy with work and family stuff and haven't had a chance to get it cut into tracks and upload yet.
