Show lasted just little over an hour. Played with a four-piece (with Chris Bruce alternating between guitar and bass), trimmed all of the songs to their bare essence. When compared to the last couple of shows in the States, a lot of the songs were play shorter. Could have to do with Mark Kelley not being there (also, no Green), I don't know. Meshell complained of a cold.


Opened with Blacknuss (I think?), played two tracks from Bitter (very fast-tempo'ed Faithful, and Fool of me) which amazed me. Setlist included Mass transit, Top shelf, Lock 'n load, Lola, Evolution, Article 3, a song (sung and written) by Oren Bloedow, amongst others. Two separate encores - The sloganeer and All the critics. Deantoni was out on drums.

Show seemed to be less freely flowing than the two bootlegs we've heard, some songs were performed without bass, all in all less fleshed out than with Kelley on board. Had an enjoyable night, nonetheless. Signs posted all over the venue prohibiting the use of flashphotography, though not actively enforced.

thanks for the review!!
