So thanks to Azag I saw the rough setlist they are playing, but can anyone who went Monday or Tuesday comment on how the shows were? How was the band's energy, etc.
I might still go on Wed. if I can get a ticket for about half price, which seems possible. On craigslist, prices are dropping fast.

No lack of energy on the part of the band, although a bit sloppy at times…. Personally, I thought the band hit it's stride more often during the non Shane songs. Show wasn't nearly as good as the 2006 one, when the band was very much at the top of their game.

"Fun and sloppy" is how I've been describing it. Slightly higher energy level from the band last night.
ED:And the only setlist change last night was the switching up of Metropolis and Body of an American.

I went, too as I got a ticket for $25. Not nearly as good as they were in '06, but better than last year. I wish they had mixed it up some from last year, though, it seems like it was an almost identical show.
One funny thing last night was seeing several people being kicked out of the club right when the show ended. I've seen that a couple other times lately (at Drive-by Truckers, for example). I know you need to get rid of people causing a disturbance/etc. and enforce the rules up to the last moment, but it is just a funny image to see people getting kicked out as everyone is filing out anyway.
