[Jim Cobb]

Setlist: 10/17/06 - Continental Airlines Arena; East Rutherford, NJ

the mars volta didn\'t really do it for me last night.. they had their ups and downs, but overall, i didn\'t like their set nearly as much as boston (could be that one 30-minute tune they played).. and i missed a couple minutes of their set because they went on at 7:30 sharp (which they have been, but last night\'s tickets said 8:00, and the others have said 7:30).. well, at least i know for tonight..

Was the lead singer still dancing about like crazy (like in Boston)?  Is that his thing? or just some special moves? At first, I was a little taken back.

[Jim Cobb]

yeah he likes to move.

Christina_Hendricks

she grew up in idaho, but she moved to fairfax from her sophmore year on. we were both into acting (i\'d been doing professional stage work already) so we had several classes and tons of after school time together. and, if you didn\'t know, the theatre folks made the band camp kiddies look like prudes! she was smart enough to not get too involved with our reindeer games, but eventually i got a single make-out session outta her. it was those lips, man, i couldn\'t resist those lips. anyway, fast forward a few years and she\'d gone to paris for modeling and had come back to la, via new york. while she was out there, she met keidis and they even ended up dating for a couple years.

but i was there first, dammit!!!

[Spacey]

haha, nice one.

tonight was one of the best performances i have ever seen. thanks dave, lisa and mike for a great time. i don\'t know where to get a setlist from to post, i\'ll leave that to dave... i went out to the bathroom at one point during mars volta\'s set and saw chad smith walking around. holy shit that guy is tall...and hot. i now know damn well about davepeck and mike helluvahat\'s manlove for john frusciante and completely understand it. he is fucking amazing. i am so glad that i\'ve finally been able to see one of my favorite bands of all time. they put on a hell of a show. mars volta=:hscratch: i was told tonight that their first album is something i should listen to, but have to say that they sounded very sloppy and unstructured to me. i was not a fan of their music.

10/18 might be my favorite concert I have ever seen.
Highlights:
1. John Frusciante doing Art Garfunkel.  Has he done this before? Beautiful.  
2. My seats. 18th fucking row, me on the aisle. I could see the wear on all John\'s guitars not just the really beat up one he was playing at the end.
3. Snow ((Hey Oh)) with the "snow" falling on us and in my beer.
4. 21st Century.  
Low light:
When AK introduced Scar Tissue by saying \'this song is older than some of you\'.  I thought we going back to the Hillel days.

^^ Once again, snow came down on the audience (MUCH more than the previous night). Pen lights were again handed out, but there was no mention during the show about the video or where/when to use them.

i\'m pretty certain that\'s the order.. BY FAR the best of the 4 shows i\'ve seen so far this tour, and i doubt that it\'ll be topped in boston or albany. after fortune faded, they really strayed from their normal setlist (save john solo and snow), and i got my first Century, Parallel, Hump, and Wet Sand of the tour. not to mention Nobody Weird again.. seeing 4 \'new\' songs in a setlist is a LOT for a RHCP show, and it really made the show for me. especially since before the show i was mentioning that i REALLY wanted to hear Wet Sand.. after john\'s scream at the end and during his solo, i had tears in my eyes. that\'s a first for me at a chili peppers show!

once i realized what a great/different show it was, i kept thinking to myself that *something* was gonna go wrong with the recording.. there were about 10 security guards within about 6 feet of us for the entire show, so i thought i was gonna get caught.. i didn\'t, and walked out of the show and to the car without an issue..

i pulled out my iriver in the car, and saw the time at 0:00:00. i didn\'t get anything. it never started recording. :wah::mad::wah:

i was/am SOOOOO mad at myself.. i\'m hoping someone else got it, but already found one person who recorded the first night but not the second, and another who had recording problems on night 2. not looking good.

oh, and fucking god did the mars volta suck balls. played the same damn thing they played night 1, including the 35 minute droning repetitive jam. horrible. :mad:

[wildcoyote]

How did I manage to forget Wet Sand in my highlights?
Too bad about the tape.
I\'m making a few calls now.  Maybe I\'ll dig one up by Sat.
