The New Years Eve show was a blast. They opened with Til Victory and then the list gets a bit blurry again but it included Privilege, Free Money, Beneath The Southern Cross, Ain't It Strange, Because the Night, Dancing Barefoot, Pissing in a River, Spell, Rock 'n' Roll Nigger, Blakean Year wiht a very cool little poem/song as the opener, Peaceable Kingdom, Have you Ever Been Experienced? (it was mind blowing in it's beauty) and since we're now in the year of the dog and there are 3 'dog" people in the band along with Jackson they did a Three Dog Night song (anyone remember the name? I've never been a big follower of theirs). Gloria at midnight.
She did a little more bantering with the audience, she said to kill some time because they were going thru their set list a little quicker than planned coz she didn't do any long winded speeches or something like that. She ripped on GW Bush a lot. As the lead in to Rock and Roll Nigger she read the Declaration of Independence and basically called for Bush to be removed from office for crimes against humanity. It was very powerful!
Hope you all have a Happy New Year, I had a blast last night. Hopefully someone will post a more accurate set list.
