setlist details from sound man’s sheet.

Notes from JKP:

– Jason himself came into the sound box, grabbed a mic, welcomed everyone to PUSAFEST and introduced Mike Phirmin. He stood by the sound box for a bit watching Mike before heading backstage.

– Mike Phirmin bombed and was almost forced off the stage. The Duo was great.

– After Postman, Chris said something about playing some songs from the new album then said they’d just play the whole album. They then played their entire debut album in order. SWEET!!! After N&F he said “There’s your whole album”.

– SOB is not on the written set sheet. After NBL Jason got Chris’s attention and they talked a second. Chris came to the mic and said they forgot to do the hit song from their last album. Then they played SOB. So they snuck it in on the soundman 🙂

– PUSA played longer than scheduled by 15-20 min. We were thinking it was because they cancelled the Feb 19 show.

– I don’t remember the song but Andrew did a nice long solo and then he and Chris did a choreographed thing where at the same time they threw each other their guitars. At that point Chris played a guitar solo while Andew played bass for the rest of the song. I have never seen them do that before but maybe they have. Was cool!

Thanks JKP!
