I was at this show, and it was explosive! After 11 long years of waiting, I got to witness "No Way" live, and the guys did not disappoint!
My top show highlight was "Push Me, Pull Me." Completely unexpected and surprisingly aggressive live, especially with the light show that accompanied it. Eddie sang every lyric dead on, to the best of my hearing. And the guys sang awesome backup vocals.
This was the first night that the band played "Speed of Sound." Eddie had trouble getting it started, joking, "Sorry, Boom. Who wrote this thing?!? ... It was me!"
Eddie, I believe playing a Les Paul, flipped the lyrics in the beginning of "Come Back," and the band scrapped it, moving right into "No Way."
"Betterman" primed the pumped (Eddie calling on the crowd to begin demolishing the Spectrum by razing the roof), and "Porch" nearly brought the house down. So flippin' awesome to participate in that!
Also, very refreshing to hear Mike go into "Little Wing" during "Ledbetter." (The last four times I saw the band, he played the "SSB" instead.
(Ed and Mike joined Social Distortion in the opener for "Ball and Chain.")
