    wish it was at Toyota Center instead, and not on a Sunday.

    I might go, but I haven't listened to them since Violator. So that means a huge part of the show will be foreign to me.

    wasnt really feeling Exciter.
    Playing the Angel was great.

    Looks like a small tour.

    Songs of Faith and Devotion was not their best work.
    I really missed out on Exciter.
    Playing the Angel was their best work since Music for the Masses.

    I look forward to Sounds of the Universe.

    Did anyone go to the show last night. I'm banging my head for not going. Give us clutchfans a review.

    I was there. It was fun. Took some terrible pics from as far back as you can get. Put my 15x zoom to the test.

    Good times.

    Reach out and touch faith.

    I heard now they have a keyboard that can shoot fire. Is true?

    I was there and had a great time on the lawn. The weather was perfect and it wasn't hot at all. They played a 2 1/2 hour set with a lot of their new songs and alot of the fan favorites. Definitely worth the price of the ticket.

    Show was pretty good. Woodlands was a nice setup and the sound was great.

    They didn't however play a few songs like:

    Strange Love
    Just Can't Get Enough
    Dream On
    Halo
    World in My Eyes

    Otherwise great music and performance from this iconic band.

    Yeah I was hoping to hear some of those as well. They didn't play "Master and Servant" either. :(

    I've only heard Halo twice, Just can't get enough once (two years ago), Dream On once when Exciter came out...but they didn't play World in My Eyes? Seems like I've heard that one at every show since it came out.

    I've seen them on every tour since '88, and at other venues...probably over 20 times in total, but skipped this one as the new album was crap and I've apparently burnt out on their concerts. Would have gone if it were at the Toyota Center though. The Woodlands, not a fan, especially in August.

    Edit- I just read the Houston Press article and I'm glad I missed it. Waaay too many new songs, but I'm jealous I didn't get to hear In Your Room (My FAVORITE!) and Waiting for the Night. I still remember that song playing with a full moon at the Woodlands in '90 during the Violator tour. :(
