The band strated right at 8 p.m. -- something you never do in LA because of all the late arrivals. This could explain why the band and the audience were much more energized by the second set than that "greatest hits" first set. Best visual of the night -- the words to the "prayer" in Sheep (which seems to be inspired by Roger's Leaving Beruit visual). I did like the idea of the Kangaroo picking out vinyl albums to play as an intro to songs from those albums (although I would lose the kangaroo, but that's just me). I could have sworn that Ian sang "sailed on a steel breeze" instead of "rode on a steel breeze" during Shine On. I was most impressed by Astronomy, Gunner's Dream, and Set the Controls -- absolutely sublime. Once again, Take It Back was great -- a song I don't like except when the Aussie's play it! My only "criticism" (which I expressed directly to the band after the show) is based on personal preference -- if it were me, I would not use the female vocalists as much as TAPFS does. It's not that they are bad singers -- far from it -- I just think they lighten the mood of some of the darker songs (examples, Machine, Pigs). But again, that's just my preference and it certainly didn't ruin the show in any way. I'm very jealous of the Aussie's playing the Nokia Theater -- what a great space for them, their music and their visuals! At least they invited me back stage after the show so I could feel a little bit what it would be like to play that room!

I did see a list from one of their earlier shows that had Fletcher Memorial insted of Gunner's Dream -- but was otherwise indentical

Thanks for the review Danno!

yeah, i saw them the 15th. Pretty great show.

Why use backing singers on WTTM?

How much were cds and DVDs going for at the show?

I didnt check

Pretty much everything was going for $25. They only had tour shirts and the 2007 and 2004 DVD...at the Clearwater, Florida show anyway.
