This is my third time seeing the guys live. The first being on May 4, 2007 in Norfolk, the second February 27, 2008 at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA, and the third just hours ago on April 1, 2008 again in Norfolk.

This is by far the best out of the three concert of theirs I have been to.
Songs performed, not in order: Skinny Mean Man, No Soul, Alive with the Glory of Love, Baby Girl I'm a Blur, Shiksa, Woe, Belt, We Killed It, About Falling, Plea, Chia-Like I Shall Grow, Admit It!!!, The Church Channel, Retarded In Love, A Walk Through Hell, Stand Inside Your Love (Smashing Pumpkins cover) -- 16 songs

Points to mention
-Awesome transition from the end of Shiksa into the beginning of Baby Girl
-Surprised and siked to hear 'No Soul', 'We Killed It', 'Plea', and 'Retarded In Love'
-Awesome to hear 'A Walk Through Hell' -- still waiting for something from Baseball.
-'About Falling', one of the best
-Members of Weatherbox, Biffy Clyro, Manchester Orchestra join in 'Belt' at the line..."And all your friends, meet all of my friends in the alley tonight"
-If I remember correctly, three or four songs, were played after the guys returned on stage from a fake exit/ending.
-Admit It!!! was the final song, Skinny Mean Man was the opening.
-Smashing Pumpkins cover was random, but actually very good nonetheless. Good song.

A lot of great surprises during this show, and a lot of great material was played.

Next time they'll be in the area if anyone wants to know is during Warped Tour in July...that'll be in Virginia Beach.

Hopefully they'll make another trip back to Norfolk before 2008 is out.
Again, awesome show, one of the best.
