I would love to be going to this. Saw them at the old Black Cat for the Gentleman tour and it was so great. Judging from the recent live release, they're still a powerhouse. Pretty envious.

i was hesitant to pick it up at first because it seemed to get mediocre reviews at best, but id almost say its their best record. lots of my favorite tracks are on there.

havent been keeping too close an eye on recent setlists, but from what i gather via dulli's interviews and such, most of the catalogue is fair game and they've been switching things up a bit show to show. should be a fun night.

Also would love to hear the last 3 tracks from Black Love. Judging by the recent setlists, we will either get all 3 tracks OR NONE OF THEM  >:(

which is why,..I kinda want to drive to Philly tonite.. or get a ride from someone!

Gentleman and Black Love are my two favorite albums of theirs - Gentlemen holds together better thematically - a true album that can and should be listened to start to finish

Interesting that folks seem to like the last 3 tracks on Black Love the most - for me its #4 thru #7, Blame Etc is one of my favorite tracks of all time

Glad that some other boardies are going - I am also going to see them in NYC next Friday Oct 5 and have a few spare tickets if anyone is interested i picking them up

Lollapalooza appearance was really good.  Much better than I anticipated.

I have another obligation for tomrw, though.

I'm going.  I wish it was a little earlier since I am biking 75 miles in the morning.  Anyways, it won't stop me from having an awesome time.  The show at 930 in 1998 remains one of the best I've ever seen.  They did an awesome cover of 'Beast of Burden.'  It was basically a perfect show.  I still have an extra ticket for the show tonight if anyone needs one.  I hope they played Faded.  Damn that song kills me.

this was a hell of a show. ears are ringing quite a bit today, but wow. never thought id get to see the whigs, and they blew me away. dulli's an amazing frontman, which made up for his vocals being a bit quiet up front. it was really cool to hear all the bits and pieces of other songs he'd do. always thought these guys could knock out covers like no one else.

setlist ive got. might have missed a song or two

crime scene part 1
im her slave
uptown again
what jail is like
who do you love/fountain and fairfax
when we two parted
gentleman
66
turn on the water/the end
you my flower
retarded
see and dont see
love crimes/thinkin bout you
going to town
debonair
cito soleil
miles iz ded

bulletproof
summer's kiss
sometimes it snows in april/faded/purple rain

encore alone was worth the price of admission for me. i knew faded was an all or nothing deal with those other two songs, and im so glad they ended the show with that run. beautiful stuff

i dont know if this will be a permanent reunion or not, but this was a great evening of music. thanks seth!
