Title: Syracuse, NY 9-28-10

Review coming.

Setlist was similar to the summer setlist except CLIG was gone and One Night and Something For the Rest of Us (full band) were added. Acoustic #3 was on the setlist but NOT played.

Tonight was the first time I was spoken to from stage. John caught me filming a long stretch of his banter and told me to keep filming and put it on Youtube. It's pretty much a life goal not to bring attention to myself so I don't know if that footage will ever actually make it to Youtube. :D

More later.

I�ve been an absolute GGD tour **** this year and I have definitely seen them more times than I care to admit. �But this show and the events around it will probably stand out as one of my favorites.

S, E and I left Buffalo in the early afternoon and arrived in Syracuse late afternoon without any major incidents� except me almost running over Robby. �We were at a weird intersection and looking for parking and I almost made a left while pedestrians were allowed to cross. �So S warns me to wait and as the waiting pedestrian was crossing, S and E were like, �Oh, that�s actually Robby you almost just killed.� �That would have been an unfortunate start to the fall tour�

Then, while we were waiting for D to show up and trying to figure out which building of this huge complex we were supposed to going to, we found the band�s bus parked on a narrow city street. �We saw Mike go on and then later saw Korel come off, but we didn�t bother them.

After eating dinner in a church (really), we went into the venue. �It was the most laid back concert environment ever. �The Crouse Hinds Theater is very modern and had a nice low stage and no large gap between the seats and the stage. �I was second row center and had a pretty great view. �The sound was amazing.

John seemed to be very smiley and happy and whenever that�s the case, you usually get a better show. �There was a huge light up sign about 6 rows back that we saw before the show and knew John would comment on, so I kept my camera ready. �Sure enough, he had it sent up to him as soon as he had a couple minutes to talk. �He then spoke to the person in front of me so I just kept my camera filming and then John pointed at me and told me to keep filming and put it on Youtube (John said I have to, so it�ll be posted shortly). �Later, he told a guy in the front row that he was the only person born in the room when Name was written and tossed him a pick for being a good sport.

Robby was barefoot, which I love because it reminds me of the times before the LLI tours. �I caught him posing for photos a couple times, which was adorable. �He remarked that Syracuse was smart because SU dressed their drunk college students in safety orange.

The setlist is below. �Something weird happened during All Eyes On Me (not sure what exactly) and then Acoustic #3 was cut. �I am very happy to have Something For the Rest of Us added to the setlist. �It�s the album version, not the piano version. �One Night is also back, which excites me a little less. �I don�t hate it, but it�s my least liked song on the album and it apparently didn�t go over so well on the spring tour which is why it was dropped so fast. �I could come up with a hundred ways to improve the setlist, but at this point, it is what it is. �I do not think me complaining about it is going to do anything.

Great videos! I love the one with the sign. And you're right ... shows are going to be good when John is happy & chatty.
