remphish1 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Talk about a tough ticket. I had 7 people try to each get tickets and we only pulled up 1. Fortunatley I was the one who went. Alltickets were will-call. Extras were going in the $500-1000 range! I never saw so many people looking for tickets in my life on line. I usually don't care where I stand for a show and usually hang in the bak unless I am at Roseland and it is Radiohead. I am getting too old for all the pushing etc but I did manage to get and hold my ground 15 ft from Mr. Greenwood! Show was great, band sounded great, new album sounds 10X better live! Crowd was bonkers....another highlight for me is after the show I spoke with Mike Mills and thanked him for REM and told him I would have loved to hear CIN songs live but he shrugged. Anyhoo...setlist below Roseland Ballroom 9/29/2011 Set List:01 - Bloom02 - Little By Little03 - Staircase04 - The National Anthem05 - Feral06 - Subterranean Homesick Alien07 - Like Spinning Plates08 - All I Need09 - True Love Waits / Everything In Its Right Place10 - 15 Step11 - Weird Fishes/Arpeggi12 - Lotus Flower13 - Codex14 - The Daily Mail15 - Morning Mr. Magpie16 - ReckonerENCORE17 - Give Up The Ghost18 - Myxomatosis19 - BodysnatchersSECOND ENCORE20 - Supercollider21 - Nude Quote Link to post Share on other sites
virtualreason Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I'm so jealous you were lucky enough to score a ticket! I can't imagine the atmosphere at these shows--particularly since they'll be the only ones they do for a few more months. If I wasn't seeing Wilco a handful of times in the next week, I would have tried my hand too! It's good to see SHA back in the sets because it is one of my live favorites. I don't understand how they can play Feral live but still leave Separator out of the sets! The latter is easily the most accessible song on TKOL and the one I connected with right off the bat. On your personal note with Mike Mills, I know how much REM means/meant to you, so I'm glad to see you got a little bit of closure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Yeah the closure with Mills was almost as much as a highlight as the show. Feral was awesome live and I don't understand Seperator not being played I would have loved to hear it. Another funny part was during Codex Thom forgot some words and said sh*t, sh*t it was a funny moment. The other highlight was Little by Little...Greenwood was tearing it up on that one!
