Flash by Queen plays before/during the band's entrance.
Actual set list (which differed significantly from the printed set list):
Gone Sad Songs Wedding Dress Curve of the Earth Pretty The World Princess/Jesse's Girl Still Big Country Falling Apart Laid Sing Me Sweet Lost Myself (Matt solo) Suspended (Matt solo) Gospel To The Beat of Our Noisy Hearts Take On Me Car Crash Detroit Waves/Kids in America Come On Get Higher Answering Machine All We Are American Girl
Great show - we had a lot of fun. I went with Meesh and her classmate, Whitney, who has been to a few Lifehouse shows (actually they went with me, since I drove and bought the tickets). They were supposed to play a cover of All I Have to Do Is Dream by the Everly Brothers - we heard them sound check it and the lyrics were taped to Matt's monitor, but he made vast changes to the set list and dropped it. He says they will be playing it, though. I'll post more later, I just wasn't sure if anyone is going to see them in the next day or two and might want the set info.
Printed set list was: Gone Sad Songs Wedding Dress Curve of the Earth Princess Still Falling Apart Laid Sing Me Sweet Lost Myself (solo) Bulletproof Weeks (solo) Gospel (solo) Car Crash To The Beat of Our Noisy Hearts Fall To Pieces (covers) Come On Get Higher Detroit Waves

This show was amazing!!!! I just love Matt. Love. I was absolutely thrilled to see both Curve of the Earth AND Fall to Pieces when they taped the setlist to the stage. Those were the two I most wanted to hear! But alas...he skipped Fall to Pieces. I told him later that I would be seeing him in Chicago, and that they should play it then. He said, "It was on there!" and I said, "I saw it!" Then he said something like, "We can't give it all to you at once!" or something haha. Hopefully I'll get to hear it in Chicago... I told him I appreciated them doing Curve of the Earth, and he said something about it being awesome that so many people wanted to hear the old songs, lol. I went to the show with my friend, who I introduced to Matt's music. She had never seen him, and of course loved him. When we were talking to him, she told him I had introduced her to his music, and he said that was good and "You're like my pimp!" I had him sign something for me, and he proceeded to write "Breann is my pimp" along with a smiley face. LOL I took some photos and quite a few videos, if I remember correctly. I'm not sure how they turned out though. Hopefully good. The only downfall of the night was when some drunkards suddenly showed up behind us, and started screaming at Matt about something. He wasn't really amused, and my friend and I weren't either. One of the guys stretched out his arm next to my head to take a picture, and his arm ended up in my face. Luckily they weren't there too long. (They were telling Matt to say hi to someone standing there, and she said she didn't even know them...it was weird.) Hopefully I'll remember some more tomorrow.

Big Country was only a snippet, but it was a good snippet.
I have a few good pictures and many blurry pictures, plus a very odd looking video of Curve of the Earth. If it sounds okay out of the camera, I'll get it posted.
Breann, they were shouting about "their friend Janice", who claimed not to know them. The drunk guys were standing in front of us to talk to Matt and had him sign a ticket for Janice, who is the one guy's boss at a software company. I don't think I'd want to be him at work today.
I hope you have lots of fun at your show. Start to finish, this was one of the most laid-back concert experiences I've had lately. It was nice to only have an hour drive and we didn't have to get there super early or have a bunch of line stress.

It was Joyce, not Janice. Drunk guy also said something to Matt about "Dude when you open for John Mayer someday, I'll be there!!!" Wow. I have pictures, funny Matt banter movie clips, a video of Gospel, a video of Suspended solo with a crude story beforehand, etc... but I don't have time to deal with them right now. However, my video of Take On Me is done, it was so funny to see. Matt also has a breakdown in the last 6 seconds, and it's priceless. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYm0jHeT-RE

I am going to attempt to upload some videos. They never look as good on youtube, though. Michele...how do you get yours to upload with such good quality? Right now I open them in Windows Movie Maker and save them as large High Quality video. If there is a better way to do it, I would love to know.
Edit: Ok, so I uploaded it and it looked like crap, so I deleted it. lol. Help!
