This was one hell of a show, the heavier songs later were almost scary and acoustic version of Love? was unexpected and awesome, I think the crowd was hungering for a little heavier/upbeat and Dev responded well with the setlist. Talk of which the split was about 1/3 requests. Also Roadkill was hilarious.

Overall an emotional powerful and impressive show :)

Setlist:
Let It Roll
Funeral
Ih-Ah!
Noisy Pink Bubbles
Sunday Afternoon
Thing Beyond Things
Juular
Deadhead
Vampira
Road Kill
Fall
"Freebird"
Deep Peace
Love?
Christeen
Disruptr
Kawaii
Life

Egads! I'd give at least two of my testicles for an electric show with that setlist.

This screams fake to me. Setlist seems really random. Also, which song is "Freebird"?

The setlist seems random because he takes a shit-ton of requests for songs at all of the Unplugged shows. Freebird is a Lynyrd Skynyrd song that's just become a bit of a comic relief...

The setlist is genuine, it really was a fantastic mix of songs. Even though he could only remember the first half of Thing Beyond Things I've been dying to hear that track live for years. And the scream in Deadhead was out of this world, we couldn't have been better placed right in front of him on the barrier.

The crowd really killed it for me though, barely anyone was singing along and the night was full of annoying heckling and lots of people chattering during some of the quieter songs. Dev told people to pipe down a few times and you could see that he would have preferred a quieter, more relaxing night instead of people shouting out stupid requests all the time. Annoying as fuck. Still, the setlist did make up for it with some really corkers.

Also; acoustic Deep Peace was seriously impressive.

I can't understand why people dare to sing along in a quiter environment... There is a new video of acoustic Deadhead (Newcastle) which would have been excellent - if the guy wouldn't have ruined it completely by "singing" along... (it's DEADHEAD, no one can sing it except for DEV!)
