Just got back from the show and it was awesome. Had the time of my life tonight. I was against the barricade on Jesse's side, right in front of the speakers and everyone around me was completely into the show. Despite the questionable situation as to why Kristeen Young was no longer the opening act, I did enjoy hearing someone new. Girl in a Coma did a solid job. They had a lot of enthusiasm and energy and though I wasn't familiar with their music, I dug some of their songs. They were definitely happy to be there, which is a nice change from KY's onstage persona.
The Imperfect List was dropped in favor of Klaus Nomi...which was definitely a blast from the past and gave the show a different feel right from the start. Moz came on and seemed to be in great spirits...he was talkative and joking around throughout the night and you could tell he and the boys were enjoying themselves.
The setlist was similar to the past nights, though he broke out Ganglord, which I was excited to see live, and Life is a Pigsty, which was amazing! Other highpoints for me were the Loop, again...for some reason whenever he performs this song he seems like the Mid 90's Moz and I f'n love it, Sister, I'm a Poet, All You Need is Me, Death of a Disco Dancer and Why Don't You Find Out for Yourself.
Security seemed ready for the invasions, or at least they thought they were , and the head of security asked me a few times to point out what song the band was up to on his setlist, as he was prepping the Security staff for the final song and encore. All their preparations were pretty much futile in the end though, cuz halfway through the encore, FOTGTD, people started trying to jump the barricade. Security was excessively rough with a few people. Actually, the first invader ran onto the stage during Auld Lang Syne...weaved through the 8 or so security men, hopped on stage and realized Moz was backstage changing his shirt I think. I felt s bad for this dude...he stood center stage, looked around, and got a chokehold and a cut above his eyebrow for his troubles. Still there were a lot of handshakes to invaders trying to get on stage and Moz managed to pull up one girl, who took a real nasty spill of the barricade first, onto the stage for a hug.
All in all, it was a really enjoyable show. Can't wait til tomorrow. I WILL get on stage if it kills me tomorrow night.
