Bitchin' set, Philly night one:
Set List: Corduroy, Whipping, Hail Hail, Supersonic, Dissident, Unthought Known, Faithfull, Parachutes, Unemployable, Immortality, Green Disease, Not For You/Modern Girl (Sleater Kinney), Rival, Nothingman, Ghost, Do The Evolution, Why Go
1st encore: Bee Girl, Just Breathe with string quartet, The End with string quartet, All Those Yesterdays, State Of Love And Trust, Mankind, The Fixer, Go
2nd encore: Daughter, Love, Reign O're Me (Townshend), Black, Leash, Rearviewmirror, Rockin' In The Free World (Young)
First performances of Ghost, Rival and Mankind since the Mansfield "no repeats"-experiment in 2003. Not to mention rare appearances of gems like Immortality, All Those Yesterdays and Nothingman. Pretty amazing setlist for the first night.
Eddie announced they'll try to play every single song they know how to play in these 4 nights in Philadelphia (until 2am Saturday
), at the soon-to-be-closed Spectrum Arena. They have to top supposedly spectacular Springsteen shows at the same venue last week. It'll be quite a challenge.
