They knew that the die-hards were left in the audience (Seriously, like 70% of the audience left once it started raining, which was in between Modest Mouse and when they would've gone on), so they played a BUNCH of rare stuff they never do. The written setlist was WAY better than what they actually played, but even still, it was amazing. The main level seemed pretty full from my POV. I'd say at least 50% of the crowd was still there. After they got started it was tons of fun. Kind of a drag that we got the shortest show of the tour though. After standing in the pouring rain all night, we got like 4-5 songs fewer than most other shows. "Have You Ever Seen The Rain?", "So. Central Rain" and "1,000,000" made it worth the drive though. Fun show - just a little short. [/b]

Originally posted by xneverwherex: ok - so i just got home and im dead tired, but i must say that was one awesome show tonight! a lot of highlights for new york. 'leaving new york' sounded really great (first time playing it?? or one of the first.. cant quite recall at the moment). i love harbourcoat (and ive avoided all set lists) so i was really excited to hear that. fall on me sounds as great as ever. mills singing dont go back to rockville was awesome. johnny marr played on 2 songs during the encore - beyond awesome! i cant stand modest mouse - but marr makes the band! loved the national - so nice to see them back in their hometown. the new stuff sounds phenomenal live. ignoreland - sounded great (some political commentary that got booed).. losing my religion was pretty cool. love pretty persuasion. yeah great set. 2 hours of pure f'ing heaven. i cant wait to see how the cure turns out tomorrow night. the only downside - the morons in my section who wouldnt stand the whole set and yelled at people for standing. then security came and said we all had to sit. WTF is wrong with people. oh and they saw tom petty there (at msg) 2 nights ago. pretty cool.

Originally posted by ixkpd-bk: Ditto to all that. Setlist was "okay", but yeah, Harbor Coat is AMAZING, and Leaving New York is a tour debut. I'm all about Man Sized Wreath (WOW!) and I'm Gonna DJ.
