I guess at this point everyone knows they did "Bring it On", which I can only describe as a mix of "The Rising", Elvis, and Senor and the Queen EP.

Amazing show.. was hoping "Trusty Chords" would have made it, but that's just nitpicking a stellar performance. I've seen them since 2007, and I can say it was probably their best show.

Was just about to post your review, i'm glad your holding us all off. (that is not sarcasm) Such a good show and a great review!

Sidenote: I'm pretty sure that it wasn't Ari from Lifetime in the pit

After their big speech about songs leaking, I'm not going to post it--I imagine the band will do something about it soon enough and it's nice to actually respect a band once in awhile ha.

the thing is, Brian has said that he doesn't mind fans sharing live recordings; by implication, that includes any new songs they choose to play, even if Brian had previously given his reasons for not doing so; as the message is conflicting, it's hard to know which one to respect

in fact, it's often a revelation to hear how a song changes over time, not just in the way its played, but even as far as the lyrics go (listen to the early live version of Thunder Road, when Maria was still called Angelina)

when thunder road was wings for wheels.
they all had different lyrics.. jungleland, she's the one (used to contain an entire verse that is now a verse in backstreets.)
i love to hear the old ones just as much as the new ones.
its cool to hear how things change.
and the boss is notorious for rewriting songs hundreds of times.

Thank you ACA

Why mention that you have it if you don't have any intention of sharing it?

HEY I HAVE SOMETHING YOU ALL WANT BUT I WONT SHARE IT!!!

would you like a medal?

we all would love to be able to hear it.

Yeah, it's kind of bush league....

If they were so concerned about people hearing a new song they wouldn't have played it in the first place, because they wouldn't even want the people at the show to hear it.

I mean, if you don't want to share that's fine, but don't go parading around telling us we can't listen, like you have some moral high ground over me. It's just a song.

Edited my first post.

I had no intention of "parading". Sorry if it came off that way.
