It was a fantastic night in Philly, from the great weather to the performance by the band. First and foremost, if you are going to Maryland or Boston, be sure to catch Holy Ghost! they were awesome. We watched/listened from the lawn, so we could enjoy the nice weather, but I'll be sure to be down in the pit for tomorrow night's set. Really excited by them as a band. After their set we moved down to our seats in the first row of the Orchestra, stage right, and waited for the band to take the stage. 9:15 sharp and the intro music hit. From there, the band locked in and despite the broken leg (knee?) that has Bernard lumbering about the stage (no dancing, and often taking a rest on Steve's drum riser), we were treated to a very tight performance. Sound was a tad muddy at times up front, but per my wife, who took a brief respite, the sound was infinitely better 15 rows back. Set list was (may have botched the order):
Elegia Crystal Regret Ceremony Age of Consent Isolation Here to Stay Touched by the Hand of God Your Silent Face (my wife's favorite) Bizarre Love Triangle World True Faith 586 The Perfect Kiss Blue Monday Temptation
Atmosphere Shadowplay Love Will Tear Us Apart
Top night. Nice meeting CM and seeing JG again....sorry I could not hang too long at the Bard's, but dinner with the wife was calling. JG, see you Sunday in Columbia. Safe travels. Again, it was a great night!! 6th time seeing them and I've not be disappointed yet!
