What kind of people are we? Fans. As much as I loved Mr. Antons vocals, I can not tell a lie. Kurt, every time I played Legacy of Kain on my vastly outdated Dreamcast, I thought about the “Golden Age”. Now to be living in a world where I will actually see you Mr.Robb, and Mr.Cassidy perform some of your tunes as well as the classics, I am frankly just plain elated! Thank you guys. Never in a zillion years did I “Think” I would have a chance to see my favorite group! Not even for half a million dollars, don’t you people ever think of money? Seriously though,good God I’ll meet you were the I divides.

I am so pleased INSOC is active but I must say that Kurt’s voice is unreplaceable. I tell you what… A suggestion to Paul Robb. Make INSOC a project just like Alan Wilder’s RECOIL is. That way Kurt could contribute in-and-out with his ASTRONOMICAL LEGACY POWERFUL VOICE but at the same time please the people who are into the new singer. (RECOIL’s subHuman was done with 2 singers). KURT you really should think about this!

Tomorrow nights the night baby! There is fire tonight on my side of town!!! Cant WAIT!!!! This is something I feel bad about because not everyone will see it! To everyone who casts judgment; “YOU are the ones who missed probably the best time you never Knew you needed!” Again, Can’t wait! I have waited about 18 years for this! Solo, or whole again, love you guys. I have, and always be your friend”-Spock, But you already Knew that!

Had a great time at the show! Thank you Insoc!!!

Kurt changed a bunch of the lyrics

Absolutely fabulous! A show I feared I would die without seeing. Great video in the back, the kind of cult film mashup I’d expect from the Church of the Subgenius. There’s always a new number two, you’ve always been number one. The new sound is great and reflects what all of you have been doing. I especially like what Don’t Be Afriad brought out in Kurt and Luminous brought out in Paul Rob. Kinetic, frenetic, and provocative. Thank you so much!
P.S. Hey, do you know the way to Shell Beach?

Anyone have a setlist from the Philly show?
6. January 2008 at 12:03
The show was really good, and it was great to see Kurt in such a great mood! (My teasing ‘Do the Robot!’ sign was meant to get a rise out of him.. and that it did.
). I can’t wait to see the DVD, but I don’t think they ever pointed the camera at the crowd (in the front at least). Can’t wait to see you back!
Anyway… my best to your families and thanks for taking time out for the fans.

Show in Philly was great. Some of the highlights for me was:
1. Our Friend’s “Electric”
2. Great version of Growing Up with Shiva.
3. Kurt’s zany antics.
Here is the set list from what I can remember:
Intro to Synthesizer, Peace and Love, Inc., Song from 1983..Don’t know the name (Never on any Album), Seeds of Pain, Walking Away, Bridges Burning, Make it Funky, Run Away, Werk It, Growing up with Shiva, Think, Intro to Back in the Day only (Remix), Running, Brand New Song…not yet released, Our Friends “Electric”, Whats on Your Mind.

The song from 1983 was called “Jonestown” if I remember correctly.
6. January 2008 at 16:19
Thanx cmack1 & Patrick for the setlist / song titles!
6. January 2008 at 17:19
After doing a little research, I found the song from 1982 (I orginally put 1983) is Wrongful Death. The brand new song is Jonestown.

WOW….. Drove about seven hours before and six after the show.So many Kirk, Spock, and Bones moments at the show…..Even though it is six days into the new year, it will be nearly impossible to beat this as the BEST time I’ll have all year! My only complaint is that the show should have been about nine hours long! Was hoping for more “Don’t be afraid”, but considering every sound you guys make is gold it is Not Possible to be dissatisfied.Just wanted to let you know that you have aloud me to check one thing off of my “things to do in this life” checklist! And you’ve set the bar so high, the rest of the list has it’s work cut out.Thanx. P.S. Jones Town? Ahh… Why is this not it’s own album?!?! Tell you what, put it on a disc several times in a row and I will buy multiple copies just to make it economically worth your while. Seriously, that pretty much kicked my ass and blew what was left of my mind all at once! Enough gushing, thanks again for making nearly two decades of waiting worth it all! By the way Kurt, Mr.Anton did an excellent job honoring your vocals, but to answer, Obviously I prefer your vocals any day(year)! Now if you will excuse me, I have a pesky black deer that keeps turning over my trash…I will show him that it is useless to resist us!

Got side tract from my original point: Looking at the jacket from your first self titled album, and now being blessed to witness it in person, Mr.James Cassidy and Mr.Paul Robb, please take a bow. Maybe this is a stretch, but it seems to me that enjoying your work keeps one youthful. You guys appear to be EXACTLY the same as you did in ‘88! I’m sure it has something to do with the whole gene splicing Khan went through. All I am trying to say is you guys can really rock! I have seen every ridiculously popular group in most forms and the show you guys provide is bar none more enjoyable. The sound is loud yet clean and crisp. It is unfortunate that you never seem to reach the mainstream top whatever lists, but to be selfish, like the Emperor said “Good…Good!” Those of us that have been loyal subjects since nearly day one, We will never fail to support you! OH, I’m afraid when your friends arrive , they will witness the power of a fully operational INFORMATION SOCIETY!!!”

This show was amazing - I’ve never seen InSoc perform before, and I was utterly blown away by their performance. It was well worth the three hour drive. I hope that they keep working together because their chemistry on stage is incredible to behold.

@sMurph:
It is rumoured. B) There is a long joke centering around my handle.

Nicely done in Seattle! I was highly pleased with the set, the guy shouting ‘MIRRORSHADES’ notwithstanding. I was pleasantly surprised to hear ‘Run Away’ since it is a nominally a duet with a female singer. The crowd seemed to be a little tired, it being a Sunday night and all, but the show was fun. I had a great time and I hope you guys come back to Seattle soon!

philly was awesome. jonestown was sooo good. kurt was right that it was the best song paul ever wrote! It had all the magic of the early albums in its songcraft. thanks!

Did anyone on here hang around after the show to meet the band. I did and found James Cassidy to be very friendly. He seemed happy just meeting fans. He asked me If I liked the song running(I didn’t know if it was a trick question because they would not play it live back in the day). Kurt and Paul were cool as well. Anybody get anything signed?
9. January 2008 at 8:23
Paul and Jim eluded me before we got “kicked out” onto the street with Kurt. >:|
And Kurt said “We’ve been playing *that* (running) for 22 years.”
22 more years of Running is fine with me!
How can someone not like Running?

@Patrick Bateman:
I did - I went back into the concert hall after it cleared out and got to meet everyone. I got to talk to Kurt for a while when security ushered us out into the foyer while everyone else broke down their gear. Paul and James were really cool; Kurt seemed to be under a lot of stress (being glomped unexpectedly can do that to you, i guess). I got everyone to autograph my copy of Hack.
By the way, I have a concert report and links to a photo album from the show here.

To The Doctor:
Great job documenting the events. I am sure this report will mean so much to many fans!!!
