Rain City Story

A Religous Experience- The Snow Patrol Concert

They started with "Spitting Games" a song that rocks (and with lyrics that could have come from my personal experiences), but they made it rock more. I've been to quite a few concerts in my life and this one takes the cake. An unbelieveable cap to a pretty good day. The weather was perfect (misty rain with low clouds which Gary likened to the band's hometown of Glasgow, Scotland) and the day went pretty smoothly at work.

Gary seemed to be REALLY into it tonight. He sang with incredible passion and the excellent acoustics of the Moore Theatre really enhanced the songs (as if they even needed that). Every. Single. Song. Rocked. It was nice to see the show with people who are into the music as much as I was and singin' every word to every song right along with me. Run, my all time favorite, was a religious experience that I didn't want to end. The crowd sang most of the song along with the band and I'll never forget it. I took the long way home and rocked out to my favorite tunes a few more times. My tinnitus will last well into tomorrow I'm sure. Who cares.

I'll publish the setlist once the high wears off and I've gotten some sleep. Thank you Snow Patrol and the others who made tonight happen.

[UPDATE]:
If my memory serves me right, here was the setlist:

Splitting Games
Wow
Chocolate
Beginning To Get To Me
Headlights
Grazed Knees
Chasing Cars
Shut Your Eyes
How To Be Dead
Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking
Set Fire to the Third Bar
Make This Go On Forever
Ways And Means
Run
You're All I Have
---encore---
Open Your Eyes
Tiny Little Fractures

I thought they played Hands Open, somewhere before How To Be Dead but I'm not entirely positive. If anyone knows the playlist for sure, please leave it in the comments.
