dramacomicThey played (in slightly incorrect order): Thank You, Your Mistake, Come Around, Change Your Mind, Your Winter, Life Got In The Way, Strange Cup of Tea, World Inside My Head, Effortlessly, Beautiful Thing, Champagne High, All For You, Happy (I left at this point)
And they also played 2 brand new songs. I think one of them was called One Time.
I found it a bit surprising (and somewhat telling) that they avoided playing songs from Lift. While I love the band, it is my least favorite album. On the other hand, Fortress is my favorite album of theirs, and even though they played a lot from that one, I kept feeling like I wanted them to play something else, so that it wasn't the same show I've already seen. I made the comparison of a favorite movie - the 5th time you see your favorite movie, you still like it a lot, but it's not as special as the first or second time.
But that's my only gripe. *I'll still probably see them again*
Oh, and Emerson Hart was very funny and a very good singer. I already knew this as the owner of 3 quality Tonic albums (of which he only played the 2 biggest hits off Lemon Parade "Open Up Your Eyes" and "If You Could Only See", two songs about eyes), but his solo work is very much a quality one-man show. I wouldn't mind hearing/owning his solo album come September.
