  I managed to move my way up to the front and people were spazzing out.  And I'm sure it didn't hurt that they songs were "rocked up" for the stage.  The encore was the only let down; why end such a high energy show with the most slow-tempo'd, non-dance track?  Oh well...I still left with a huge smile on my face.  I swear, they must have played every song I wanted to hear.

Anybody jot down a set list?  This is mine from memory, but I'm not 100% sure this is right:
 
 US V Them
 Daft Punk is Playing at my House
 Time To Get Away
 North American Scum  
 All My Friends
 Tribulations
 Watch the Tapes
 Movement
 Yeah
 New York I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down

  Yeah those are my thoughts summed up perfectly. James did say that his voice was shot between a couple songs; that could've been the reason for only one song for an encore.

  Pretty impressive show I must say...and this is coming from someone who is not very fond of the new release        
 
 Could have been better, though! DC got a 1 song encore instead of the normal 3-song encore in other cities (we did not get a Joy Division cover, "No Love Lost" and "Someone Great" (my fave song on the new release...WTF!!!) Were they tired or what?!
 
 Anyway, it was a $15 show...so couldn't really complain...

I got a copy of the setlist and they had both "Someone Great" and "No Love Lost" on there in the encore befor "NY I Love You," but they didn't play them. I guess James really must have fucked up his voice like he said. Even still, it was a pretty fantastic show and didn't seem overly short, even without those songs.

[Vas Deferens]

OK, the show officially gets a B-minus from me    
 
 Seriously, how hard is it to sing "Someone Great"??!!
 
 WE WERE DUPED!!!

His voice was really shot to shit, but he REALLY gave it all during the main set. I wish he'd have done Someone Great/No Love Lost, but it's okay. He'll be back in September.

[BookerT]

yes, that was fantastic. before it started i was like, "i really hope it's uncomfortably loud" and they sure came through there. took a couple songs to find the groove, i thought they sped through "daft punk" a bit too much, but from there on out it was just phenomenal. "yeah" couldn't have been more insanely great, same with "all my friends." i usually will only headbob even if i'm really into something, but how could you not be getting down last night? i mean, it's dance music, so i danced. right? also, i was drunk.
 
 anyway, the encore was indeed a letdown because "someone great" is the best song on the album and "no love lost" is the best warsaw-era joy division song and it sounds great on the "all my friends" single, but if his voice really was shot (next to last night of tour, and all) then "someone great" is a tough one to pull off. minor quibble, though. great fun.

the best rejoinder of all time. kudos.

[Sir HC]

Good fun.  Was loud, but not insanely loud, some shows make that one feel like an acoustic set (Garbage).  Give credit to the band for hanging out before and after the show, chatting up the fans.
 
 Kosmo, not sure what song, but the roadies were laughing over one you played early on that they recognized.

Sal - i hear fede is quite the dancer too. cant wait for tonight. might be hitting a bar (nevada smiths probably) before the show - will know more later.

[Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface]

I got there around 7:45 and had to find some tickets for two friends who decided to jump in last moment. Only had to wait like 10 minutes though.
 
 Amazing show but a little short. Only song I really wanted to hear but didn't was Sound of Silver. Get Innocuous, Daft Punk, and North American Scum were the songs that really seemed to get the crowd going.
 
 As per Kosmo's request, I danced all evening - albeit poorly. But fun was had by all and for $15 it was incredible.
 
 YACHT was hilarious. I don't know whether he's a genius or a complete idiot, but we all stood with our mouths open the entire set watching that kid freak out. Most "interesting" opener I've seen in a while.
