our fattest show in the longest. longest.
new songs new arrangements old songs songs off the top.
all i could say during soundcheck was:

it was that mentality that made us do our most spontanious in ages. switching shit here. switching shit there.
you missed it.
ps. tom i am so friggin proud of you man. great job!
