The set started at ~ 10 PM and SxDx wrapped at about 11:30 PM.  Way short set for SxDx.  They went to  their encore departure after about 7-8 songs and encore was only about 3  songs.  Not played:  Story of My Life; Sick Boy, Mommy\u2019s Little Monster;  Don\u2019t Drag Me Down\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>The good: <\/p>\n<p>So, it was good b\/c there was 3 new songs  introduced, a lot of older material\u2026.they intro\u2019d with So Far Away  and opened encore set with Making Believe. Most of us purists were in the  back just chatting and being a bit pissed about the short  sets\u2026.normally SxDx plays 2 hours plus when they are mainlining \u2013 heck they  play longer at most festivals as a non mainline\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>The bad:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>I think I am getting old and  my standards are increasingly more demanding.  The crowd that  was there was poser-rific, but it\u2019s SLC.&nbsp; Mike even mentioned before playing a rousing rendition of Prison Bound that there are too many crack-whores in the crowd that probably have no clue how to identify with this music.&nbsp; Not played:&nbsp; \u2018Mommy\u2019s Little Monster\u2019, \u2018Story of My Life\u2019, \u2018Don\u2019t Drag Me Down\u2019, \u2018Another State of Mind\u2019, \u2018Under My Thumb\u2019.&nbsp; This wasn\u2019t too big of a deal, but it was odd to me after seeing them more than a dozen times and getting stirring renditions of each as their encore or mixed in their set list.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Summary:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The night started with SxDx getting straight to work with \u2018So Far Away\u2019 followed by \u2018Bye Bye Baby\u2019.&nbsp; Nice simple mood.&nbsp; The SLC crowd didn\u2019t get warmed up until after the third song.&nbsp; mike finally begins engaging the crowd a bit.&nbsp; Of course he has become more prolific with his spitting into the crowd and this seems to be much more prominent than in years past.&nbsp; I will have to try and rememeber the overall set-list but I was too shocked at the short set to remember.&nbsp; Anyway, I was glad to go and see my favorite band.&nbsp; We tend to all be getting older and it seems SxDx is not exempt from that either.&nbsp; It was nice having my brother there and being able to enjoy the events with him.&nbsp; I still remember like it was yesterday seeing them play a few other times and the memories keep getting sweeter.&nbsp;&nbsp; We\u2019ll see how long the links stay valid for the channel that I found on youtube so I may revisit this event into the future.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>I would say this wasn\u2019t their best concert, but I was glad my brother and I took the time to attend.<\/p>\n<p>Set list included:<\/p>\n<p>So far away, Bye Bye Baby, Prison Bound, Reach for the Sky, Sometimes I Do, Footprints On The Ceiling, I Was Wrong, King of Fools .<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Encore:<\/p>\n<p>Making Believe, Nickels and Dimes, Ring Of Fire<\/p>\n<p>#2010 #Personal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Link to a youtube channel : http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/jererangalie Link to show earlier in the day:&nbsp;http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NeSWSL-ljZc A few excerpts of the show\u2026.decent video, good audio mostly.
