05/30/09: The Fillmore: Detroit, MI

[Marcus1970]

hi! PEOPLE GOING TO BOTH DETROIT SHOWS - I saw the stats on the home page, but can someone tell me how similar (if at all) they think tonight's show will be to last night? can I abandon all hope now of them playing Grace tonight too? be straight with me! I can handle it

also, any educated encore guesses would be appreciated!!

cheers,
Margo

Historically, on back-to-back nights, they've changed up the setlists pretty good. I think you'll hear Grace tonight. And this year they've really been ripping on it.

I agree with Chris. It's not unusual for them to play Grace on back to back nights.

As for an encore....Last time they closesd a show with Canuck and Bones, the next show's encore was Penguin and 50 Mission. I doubt in Detroit they would even think of touching a song with Penguin in the title but I wouldn't be surprised if it had a hockey theme to it. Maybe Fireworks or LEOTR.

Actually, LEOTR would probably show up in the regualr set and Fireworks has a good chance of being in the acoustic set . The encore might be something like TIger the Lion and Blow although Verge is due for an appearance.

For resturants Hockey Town and Chris Chelios are close by to walk to the venue...They will be busy but what a rush it will be....Ill have a winter classic Zetterburg # 40 shirt on.

First, thanx to T.H.E. Union for the setlist - being Detroit I Thought some might have been laid off already.
Is Coffee Girl the first acoustic new song on this tour?
And talk about a different setlist from last night.
And Daredevil makes an appearance.
And NO is Beat - was it acoustic the other time it was played this tour?

The membership of T.H.E. Union appreciate your concern for our fallen brethren, but rest assured; there will be no layoffs or concessions for us.

As far as I can tell it's the first Coffee Girl (Acoustic), and I'm glad to see Daredevil make an appearance.

My wife and I are flying up from St. Louis for both shows in the Motor City. We plan on hitting a few good restaurants and driving over to Windsor for our first ever foray into Canada. Should be a blast!

I'm still holding out hope for a show at The Pageant in the fall. It's just not in the cards to see them anywhere this spring.

Nice show!

[Dexter Morgan]

WOW better show than last night. Just crazy energy from the band. The crowd seemed more into tonight maybe since the tempo of the songs was up over last night.

Thanks guys for two great nights of music.

Tomorrow night its Nine Inch Nails long weekend of music for me.

A couple of firsts here: first Daredevil of the tour, if I am not mistaken. And, first WATS track making an appearance in the acoustic mini-set. Nice!

[daylight]

Dang, guess I picked the wrong night. Oh well, at least we got the Dark Canuck (and thus a vastly superior encore).

[buffalorob]

My jaw's on the floor looking at the setlist...hope there's more than crumbs for Cleveland tomorrow. And by all means, a few repeats, PLEASE!.

[direwolf74]

Now that's what I call a setlist.
