The show started at 8, and was lack luster for several reasons, a few which were waiting until last minute to get tickets and hence being back in the bleachers, and certainly it being really hard to compare after coming off seeing a Green Day show on Tuesday. I guess also pay $35 effectively for Peter Frampton tickets. Fucking Peter Frampton! Admittedly I have nothing specifically against him (aside from being a boring old fuck, which I guess isn't his fault [wink]), but continually having to pay for shows where he is headlining is frustrating (the other being in California 2006, where we completely missed the Blossoms set and was the only reason we were there). Why they keep opening for him I don't know, and really is the bane of my existence.

Not being in a position to rock out at least made it easy to keep tabs on the setlist in real time....


  1. Follow You Down
  2. Until I Fall Away
  3. Learning The Hard Way
  4. Found Out About You
  5. Long Time Gone
  6. Miss Disarray
  7. Allison Road
  8. Til I Hear It From You
  9. Hey Jealousy


The two notable parts the show were no faggy harmonic solo in Long Time Gone, replaced with a guitar solo by Scotty J, which was really a turn out for the books and the way the song should always be played, and Learning The Hard Way was in the set list which is the first time we've heard that since being back. To be honest, it was kinda odd that they haven't been playing that, but then did in a cut down opening set.
