"We just got here, like, literally 20 minutes ago from the airport, so we're a little tired [...]but damnit, the show must go on."
With that, Greg Graffin and company launched into the material from Cold as the Clay.
Disclaimer: I'm not going to lie, I have been a Bad Religion fan for years. I think Stranger than Fiction may well have been the first CD I bought after finally giving up on tapes.
Having said that, this was a very different vibe than a Bad Religion show, the pace is slower the arrangements are traditional.
It's also very, very good live show. Here's how it played out:
Don't be Afraid to Run
Cold as the Clay
Talk about suffering
Omie Wise
Little Sadie
California Cotton Fields
The Rebel's Goodbye
Cease (Bad Religion) (Greg solo on piano)
God Song (Bad Religion) (Greg solo on acoustic guitar)
Willie Moore (Greg on acoustic guitar, Chris on banjo)
Highway (electric guitar version, not the album cut)
Watchmaker's Dial
One More Hill
The "fake" encore:
Suffer (Bad Religion) (Greg solo, acoustic guitar)
Sorrow (Bad Religion) (aborted)
Sorrow (Bad Religion) (re-take) (Greg solo, acoustic guitar, crowd singing chorus and stamping feet throughout, later joined with keyboards)
Damn... I have never seen a crowd that wanted an encore so badly. We didn't get it though. Ah well. I'm not complaining.
