$25 to the general public, I can probably get tickets for a few for $15 with advanced notice (and payment).

Rock and roll show followed by the third most beautiful college girls in the country (as voted by Playboy) drinking and losing their inhibitions.

Bad setup for a show... in a college gymnasium with 700 uninterested Fairfield kids. 49% waiting for a "Tripping Billies" encore and 49% waiting for some ser techno. 2% rocked out hard. Sellout encore featuring teases including...

Don\'t Fear the Reaper* > Seven Nation Army > Smooth Criminal > Black Betty

As well as...

- Iron Man
- In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
- Smells Like Teen Spirit

Definitely the "rich white Catholic school" encore, but it was decent. Worth the $15 + No Driving + Everybody I Know At Fairfield

"Don\'t Fear the Reaper* > Seven Nation Army > Smooth Criminal > Black Betty", as performed by The Roots??? that seems sick. I haven\'t seen them since 2001, when they played mostly tracks off thier albums. It is nice to see them throwing in some honky rock.. QuestLove can keep one hell of a beat, boyeeee... Fairfield ladies= damn! gots to be something in the water

They had to play covers. The sound was so bad that you couldn\'t understand the words at all if you didn\'t already know them...
