Wow, what a fantastic show! The boys are back and in fine form.
Setlist:
1. Crocodile
2. Cowgirl/Rez
3. Beautiful Burnout
4. Pearl's Girl
5. Boy Boy Boy
6. Two Month's Off
7. Rowla
8. Glam Bucket
9. Born Slippy .NUXX
10. King of Snake
11. Jumbo
Moaner was on the setlist, but they ran out of time. Interesting to note, they are still referring to BBB by its working name also: "Eager Hot One"
Yes, Boy Boy Boy. My least favorite track on OwB. The live version didn't help much. I've always found the song angry and oppressive, and it comes off as such even more so when personified live. The only part I liked is the beautiful ending, which seems almost redemptive both for the song, and in the context of the song. They made a few changes for the live version, most notably backup vocals by Rick.
Cowgirl was off the hook tonight. They had this awesome 5 minute Cowgirl/Borialis/Rez jam at the beginning and the rest of the song was electric. Rowla was also particularly banging tonight, even more so than New York. Not too many Pricey pieces tonight, although there was a new one I haven't heard before, which I assume was a Price song since it's not on the setlist.
The crowd was awesome. It was a packed house and they went absolutely wild for Crocodile and Cowgirl and TMO and Born Slippy. I like how they all lined up in nice little rows on the floor. Made it easy for me to get into the middle and find a spot.
Rick collapsed to the ground during the slow part of TMO, and my heart dropped because I thought he had collapsed from sickness. Apparently, he was probably just exasperated at something, most likely the vocoder problems that Mr. Newsham told me later that they were having during TMO.
They didn't have any new merchandise for sale, but I did pick up the socks that they didn't have in the U.S. The staff were wearing cool "Oblivion Ball (staff)" shirts. Maybe there will be some available at the Ball.
I have pictures and video, but I'm probably not going to be able to post any of it till I get back to the States.
I'd like to go tomorrow night also, but it's sold out, and I don't know if there's any way I can get a ticket. I didn't see any scalpers when I went tonight.
