jarro5 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 My first time seeing them and I really enjoyed it. The encore was rocking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
woman at the bar Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 i forgot to post! the second night nearly literally wiped me off my feet. the first three songs - woah! overall I'm glad to have a package deal of both nights, but Saturday will be etched in my memory for quite a while. The artwork was pretty cool too. http://www.mikescheer.com/ I have my eye on a couple pieces La, can you post the set list for that night? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jhh4321 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I just saw them Monday night in Boston. Was pretty impressed but dissapointed by 2 things. First the fact that none of the band move whatsoever and it gets dull to watch. And second I thought they were getting a little indulgent with the excessive jams at the end of a lot of the songs but overall pretty good show. Great sound and really powerful with 3 guitars up there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I saw them play a couple nights at the Paradise a few years ago and they were fantastic shows. i forgot to post! the second night nearly literally wiped me off my feet. the first three songs - woah! overall I'm glad to have a package deal of both nights, but Saturday will be etched in my memory for quite a while.

I'll spare everyone the complete setlist, but here are the songs that were new on Saturday: LiarElseCarry the ZeroRandy Described EternityBig Dipper Untrustable ps. Kyle, why in the hell haven't you piped up yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 ps. Kyle, why in the hell haven't you piped up yet? i went to the first night of the Minneapolis 2 night First Ave stand... it was pretty good... not even remotely close to the best i've seen BTS, but certainly better than their '03 shows when they weren't touring for anything whatsoever. the 2nd night setlist looked a lot nicer though. i was at Eric Bachmann & Richard Buckner that night, and while good, i prolly shoulda just gone to BTS, i had a ticket from April and everything. ah well. the one thing that bugged me so much about the first night, is they played 4 or 5 NEW new songs, like newer than YIR, and they played them all within maybe a 6 or 7 song stretch. while a couple of the new songs were quite good, the crowd (myself included) were getting pretty bored/restless by the end of it, but thankfully they came back w/ The Plan the closing 20+ min Broken Chairs was nice tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, we got two new new songs within a three song stretch and I thought the timing was bizarre. I too love the 20+ minute Broken Chairs, but found it slightly less enchanting when they did it as the encore again the second night. That's just not ok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
