Man, that album was complete rubbish. I hope the live show is better.

Cheaper than a dom session I suppose.

$20 a ticket, I don't care. I can leave if it's garbage, but looking at the setlist from last year, looks like he plays RATM and other music too.

Wow. He put on a really good show. The songs on that album were played but he played his guitar over it. And man, did he play!

I would see him again

Here’s a video of his ratm compilation

Thanks for the review - glad it was an enjoyable show. There's been plenty of times when a bland record is surpassed by an excellent live performance, and Morello is certainly capable of pulling that off. I remember the Nightwatchmen show being pretty good, while I just couldn't get into the album.

Sorry for the short review, I was in a hurry to pack for our trip to NYC.

They started out with video playing on the backdrop for a few minutes, which ended in a distorted video and all of the sudden, he was on a short stage near the back of the crowd jamming on his guitar. Pretty wild.

I looked on Setlist and saw that his shows last year were like 5-7 songs and I thought that was weird. But this show he played a lot, I lost count. But looks like around 17 songs. He even sang, which I didn't know he did. He sang The Garden of Gethsemane song and it was really good.

What's funny is that he's up in NYC tomorrow...so are we. Who knows, may go see him again
