i thought the show was pretty damn good, though not my favorite set by a long shot. i used to be a luna fanatic from 1993-1999 and saw them roughly 12 times in that period, so i'm a bit critical. "pup tent" and "days of our nights" were erratic, IMO, and i was really disappointed by the two following albums. the last two times i saw them, i was bored by the new songs and felt like they were going through the motions. still, i couldn't miss luna's last DC show.
here's the setlist, to the best of my memory, though i am not familiar with the titles of anything past "days of our nights":
intro > california (all the way)

sideshow by the seashore

time to quit
indian summer (beat happening)
the galaxie 500 cover was a huge surprise and sounded great. i was also psyched to finally hear "bonne & clyde" live. the second encore was a propos as they played "time to quit" and finished off with "indian summer."
my only gripe was that they didn't dig deep enough into their catalog. all of the 1992-1995 material was the most memorable, and the new songs sounded just alright. they seemed to play a set geared toward touring on a new album, instead of a farewell tour.
overall, best luna show for me since 1998, but not even close to their peak shows in 1995.
