Opening Night Setlist as the show happens

[Livia]

**Love the annoying man behind me who announced that about 90% of the songs were on the "'76 album...from back in 1976." After he said "Big Love" was from '76 I almost turned around and punched him. They left during the end of the solo of "Go YOur Own Way" to "beat the traffic." He also felt the need to say "Go Pens (Penguins)" about every 10 seconds until midway through Gypsy his wife told him to shut the **** up!

Dontcha just love idiots at concerts?

They are the best! His singing was top notch too. "THUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNDERRRRRRRRR ONLY HAPPPPPPNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNS".....of course, he carried those words out so long that as he finished saying "happens" Stevie, along with the rest of the Arena, were singing "players only love you."

He also compared Lindsey's guitar work after ISA to Jimmy Page and felt obligated to yell out freaking "FREEBIRD!" before Monday Morning started. Seriously, this guy was like having the quintiscential concert idiot behind me, including the ever so cliched yelling out of Freebird when it was quiet.

Sounds like he downed a 12-pack before entering the arena. I admire your restraint, I would have told him to stfu long before his wife did.

I have to be honest with you, he didn't even sound drunk! He was just a complete idiot. In fact, I would dare say that he was stone cold sober!

I was making comments like "I wish you would go back to 1976" or "It's SONGbird not FREEbird...wrong band dumbas$" or "They didn't have an album in 1976" or "Let's go Sabres!" in response to his "GO PENS!" comment (have to show my Buffalo pride when on enemy turf).

His wife may have heard me, their conversation went something like:

Idiot: YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHH 1976 - this is 1970 friggin 6! Love IT!
Wife: Would you shut up everyone thinks you sound stupid!
Idiot: Who cares?
Wife: I do, now shut the f*** up!
Idiot: I love you honey!
Wife: *repulsed grunt*

It was pretty amusing. And I will give him props for being pumped and excited at the concert. He was a fan, just a stupid one!
