Much bigger crowd at the Corner and less lighting (the stage was bathed in red light for the whole show) so the band could hide in the shadows. Also a much better mix - more prominent lead guitar and vocals than Ding Dong. Only set list changes were 100 Days and One Way Street in for Sideways In Reverse and Fix as well as the order:
Driving Death Valley blues When your number isn't up Hit the city Wedding dress No Easy Action Miracle Message To Mine Like little Willie John Come to me Resurrection Song On Jesus' Program Low I'll Take Care Of You Skeletal History Methamphetamine Blues
************* Sleep With Me Pendulum Creeping Coastline Of Lights
I think I preferred the intimacy of the Ding Dong show compared to this, but it was definitely a great couple of nights.

cheers for the setlist
i preferred the corner, although i could barely see.. i think it was becasue i was too close at ding dong and i was tired and i was hurting and stuff
either way, fun times eh!

first thing about brisbane show: no merch at all! not even posters. second thing: saturday was mutherfucking hot!! 38 degrees celcius hot (that works out to be 100 degree farinheight, yeah mokkly spell that mutherfucker!!) the zoo is not the best place on a hot night, so i'd guess the temperature was at least 45. enough for me to be dripping sweat when i left anyway, and i stayed back towards the soundboard where it was much cooler. the turnout was better than i thought it would be considering it was so hastily organised, but i'm glad i could just sit back and not have to touch anyone. the band all had sweat towels (i was thinking some sick mofos probably scored them at the end and are at this moment making sweet sweet love to them while crying and listening to opera). so, congrats to mark and the gang for at least playing, i was half expecting them to pull out or do a short show (it was a short encore, but still a full length show i thought). perhaps the heat was also the reason for the very limited lighting. setlist was from memory similar to the melbourne ones in this topic, allthough i'm sure we got 'one way street' (with 'no easy action' and 'miracle' which was fucking hot) and we didn't get 'creeping coastline' (at least not that i remember). highlights were most definately 'wedding dress', 'one way street' and 'skeletal history'. the live versions of these just kicked serious ass. overall i thought the show was great, but in truth i was just glad they played after the festival cancelation (i think people would have died if it had gone ahead, it was just that hot. the support act (the kicks) was also very good, i'd never heard/heard of them before but i'm gonna try to find out more. ;D kind of like the white stripes mixed with sonic youth and sleater-kinney, i thought. i hope mark heard them (probably, as my friend mentioned he saw the female singer, whose name i tragically forget, walking around during it).

[quote author=Mr Gumby link=board=boarda&num setlist was from memory similar to the melbourne ones in this topic, allthough i'm sure we got 'one way street' (with 'no easy action' and 'miracle' which was fucking hot) .[/quote] No Easy Action!... that would have made my frigging night... oh yes it would have. But i remain ever philosophical about my loss & your gain... to quote the highly estemable Barriers- "glad you had a great time you fucking bastard" ; ok- i added the swearing... ps- didnt you stick around to meet him?.. perhaps put in a good word for me.. you know.. Cheeky M- like im perfect marriage material for him or something.. im a domestic godess in the kitchen.. a minx in the boudoir etc etc... no?

that poster is damn cool, i think satan Himself forged that from a million tortured souls.
maybe i can order one from them (doesn't seem to be on the site yet).
oh yeah, when i said 'rub it in' i was trying to be funny. you see, i'm never really serious about anything.
