Opener:

Don?t Drink the Water always a strong choice to start a set- the eerie and ominous introduction gives fans a hint of what is coming. As always Dave?s vocals fuel the emotion in the song.

Set:

Solid song spread across the board- Stand Up definitely a featured album but the set covered all albums evenly (including everyday). Overall the set was mellow- would of loved to see more energetic songs. Everybody Wake Up (Our Finest Hour Arrives) makes a tour debut at tonight; another highlight was Mike Dougherty?s appearance on Jimi Thing. He really added another dimension to the song with his contributions (?Scream!?). Everyday (#36) always a crowd pleaser- and it?s always nice to see Dave sing with us as well.

Closer:

Ants Marching was the perfect song to pump up the crowd. A strong choice for the closer.

Encore:

Christmas Song has been making the rounds this tour and it?s great to see it appear for the crowd here in Manchester. Nothing like a little Christmas Song for the Holidays. Tripping Billies brought down the house as the last piece, perfect choice.

Good show. Set list was good. Sound was subpar though. Probably won't go see anybody there again unless I can't get tickets front row or near front row.
