Comments: The most coherent set of the tour. Tight, rocking night. Loud, mighty, and brilliantly playful!

Highlights: Lots of exciting versions: Dora Peach, My Best Friend, Superunreal, Close Your Eyes, Flick Of The Wrist, STG, s' Numbness, 577.

I will let my initial "review" (or rather ramblings/feelings) written the morning after the show guide you through this one, it's for sure a show among the top four of the Love Cult tour:

Good Dora, another good guitar/organ workout
Good Serp, loud
Good Sinful, even louder
Good Best Friend, cool spaceout, but seen it even cooler.
Great Stooge, amazing freakout and brilliant transition to the
definitive, incredible Painting, slow, dark, dirty, heavy and distorted
Hypnotic Close Yr Eyes, beautiful
Massive Überwagner
Lovely Flick with a little piano during the last buildup
Great STG, heavenly noisy
Heavy Daemon [Custer], rumbling and thundering
Tight Neverland
Even tighter Numbness
Overwhelming 577 with long ending
Perfect Vortex, beautiful singing, beautiful guitars, perfect timing, and dead silent audience....

What a set! What a performance! What a venue! The Halden legend lives on!
