[review]

I got back early this morning and I have to say the drive was well worth it. The show was great. The venue was packed to capacity and I was in the front row with a few friends of mine. I took some pictures and got a setlist autogrpahed by everyone but Pierre(he wandered off and I couldn't find him). Here's a picture of it. As you can see Jenny marked off "barely alive" and "emotional" since they skipped them and wrote in "room 8" and "proof" on the end of "bullet."

Jenny played "It's a Hit" before "Always," the full song, not just the intro. They threw in some song I had never heard before at the end of EOAT "Spectacular Views.' I've seen others mention it here on the board. They also played a three song encore that consisted of "Absence of God" and Jenny and Blake played "So Long," which Blake just quit playing after the first chorus because he "can't sing." He blamed it on all the singing he had to do in NYC (ed. note, Blake played a solo show in New York a couple days earlier). The final song was "Pictures of Success."

Here are four pictures that didn't totally suck. I've now learned that while my Lomo is good for taking artistic/scenic shots, it sucks at low lit concerts. I should have taken my digital camera.
