Listening to your mp3 right now. Good stuff. A big thanks for getting this up so quickly.

Would love to hear some of the other recent covers if anyone has them -- especially Four Strong Winds and Powderfinger?

Yeah, I forgot to mention the loud echo of booos that broke out before the show. When I turned around to see what had happened, I noticed that chris had taken one of the beach balls out of play. What a dick! :lol:
People hated chris even more than the mention of Hamilton by Kathleen Edwards!

Thank you very much for the detailed review hairbird, and others who have posted, really solid setlist imo.

Personally I think there is a shit-ton of great stuff after DFN, Escape, Lake Fever, Stay, Save the Planet, The Darkest One....christ need I go on....pull yer head and give it a good shake for the love of Pete!

Train In Vain could be the cover every night, and I would be extremely happy.

About three months ago I went through a clash phase, and bought some DVDs and a box set. Train In Vain is my favourite song by the Clash!

I agree that they should try and drop in a couple more songs from IBE but Gus is not really my favourite...Would love to hear just about anything else from the album other than Gus. Maybe Heart of the Melt?

Kathleen Edwards is great, and she hit the stage around 7:30 - 7:45.
