My 7th time seeing Sloan and easily the worst. Flubbed solos and lyrics. No passion from Pat or Chris (unless he was drumming.) Jay was into it.. but a snoozer of a setlist that even prompted some slight boo's when the lights went up. All show long I was telling my friend, "even their fans aren't enjoying this.. they need to pick it up." They never did. A nice Detroit venue, a big Michigan/Canadian crowd, and they didn't even better the bands that played before them.
Setlist from memory.. not 100% accurate, but close.
1. Take It Upon Yourself
2. Can't Face Up
3. At the Edge of the Scene
4. Believe In Me
5. The Other Man
6. Don't You Believe a Word
7. Stand By Me, Yeah
8. The N.S.
9. Dogs
10. Where Are You Now?
11. Midnight Mass
12. It Is Never
13. Oh Dear Diary
14. Everything You've Done Wrong
15. Who Taught You To Live Like That?
16. Fading Into Obscurity
So happy Sloan returned to Detroit. It was a great show with a great lineup. Sloan played all the songs off of the new EP, as well as a nice mix up of older favorites. Big and enthusiastic crowd, can't wait for the next outing.
