They played a techno version of God Put a Smile Upon Your Face...and about the first half of The Hardest Part before stopping it because, as Martin put it, "it's not a big enough hit". Awesome show, the energy from the band and the crowd was great. I wish they came out for an acoustic encore like they did a couple times so far...but Death and All His Friends is a more than capable closer.

Best song by far was Politik...they blasted right into it after a video montage of Bill O'Reilly calling Martin a "coward" and of various politicians dancing...great night, it was
