that poster is amazing

yeah, i'm not feelin it.

Wha? You mean don't like the poster?

Just looking at it, it's one of their best ever. It's fantastic.

in a nice old wooden frame maybe it'd hang nice...just not crazy about it...
i'm more about the bright colours maybe:)

I dig the poster too.

I can't stand the way they post the setlist over in the Pit these days, it's almost unreadable.

(...and how the hell is that a "standard" setlist? Have you seen the others on the South American tour?)

well it is a 'we havent been here in a while, here's the hits' kind of set.
you just think it's special cos Of the earth and Ole is on there

brain of j. and little wing are nice to see as well (though i don't know the stats on either).

topical. it was JFK's anniversary recently wasn't it?

Apart from Rio, I think it's probably the most adventurous of the SA sets.

- Brain of J.
- Faithfull
- Red Mosquito
- Of the Earth
- Spin the Black Circle
- Leash

They're all relatively uncommon.

no, that's the 22nd, but what difference does it make if its "topical," it isn't played much (unless i'm mistaken).

fuck i wanted leash so bad.

its nice to see they have played it.

Great poster, even if the colors are a little dull, but the setlist is fuckin' awesome.

What the fuck? How big is this venue?

I've read a few reviews online, the numbers go from 40k+ to almost 60k attending.
