St. Louis Show

[Marcus]

Last night's show in St. Louis was unbelievable.  First time seeing the boys and first time for the boys in the Lou.  I have no basis for comparison to other jacket shows, but I dare say that was one of the best rock shows i have ever seen, I simply can't get over it, they rocked as hard as the Mule did in the same venue last fall.  They played for a solid 2 hours, took about a minute encore break and then came back out and rocked the Xmas Curtain and Mahgeetah.  The band seemed to be having a great time and Jim went into a story about he and his mom and his aunt going to the Arch during the day and he was babbling all this history about the Arch that i didn't even know and I have lived here my whole life.  Then he said they were going to play a song about the Arch that they wrote that day and the tore into some heavy little jam for a minute and then played Strangulation.  real small venue, real intimate, Jim was high-fiving and rocking our faces off from about a foot away, you could get right up against the stage. There were probably only two songs i was unfamiliar with, so COULD SOMEONE PLEASE POST THE ENTIRE SETLIST.  Thanks a lot.

Yeah man, I was there as well, and posted some comments about the show on the Cobra & M. Ward thread.

One Big Holiday
Dancefloors
How do you Know?
Just One Thing
Death is the Easy Way (feat. Andrew Bird)
It Beats for You (new song which Jim also called "Space-Time Module Reconfiguration #241 in A Flat Major")
The Way that He sings
Lowdown
Strangulation (or The St. Louis Arch Song)
Masterplan
Steam Engine
Run Thru
Cobra (most of it, until the end of the drum loop)

Xmas Curtain
Golden
Mahgeetah

That's the set list as I remember it. I may have forgotten a song and the list may be a bit out of order, but this is pretty much how it went. No songs off Tennessee Fire, but that's fine. It was an awesome show, and similar to others' comments, Jim ended it by standing at the edge of the stage holding his ax vertical, out toward the audience. The ENTIRE audience (from the stage where I was at to the exit) was on their feet cheering by the end.

I can't wait to see them at Bonnaroo and maybe Nashville also. MMJ, please come to Arkansas (haha, yeah right) and hurry back to St. Louis!

I saw a guy taping there when I showed up. I hope they pop up somewhere so I can continue to relive the show.

The guy in that indie.com article WAS ME!  It was my first show and I am a huge fan and thus, was jumping around like a buffoon for the better part of the show.  I'm (in)famous!

Bump.  FYI: Also, some dude on the yahoo list said that he had the STL show and was going to torrent it shortly, most likely on STG.com.
