The set wasn't even bad, by any means. But, had they broken up the Eternal material (maybe every 3-4 songs, throw a classic in) instead of putting it all together in the middle, you know?

I had a little weirded-out moment when Thurston fucked up in Anti-Orgasm, too. But when they busted out What We Know in the encore, I blew my balls. Such a bad-ass tune.

Haha don't be sorry, I'm just being a prick. I totally see where you're coming from, like I explained earlier. I just think people would be used to it by now! The shows immediately after a new record is released are always jam-packed with 95-100% of the album. The shows I saw on the "Rather Ripped" tour only had 3 or 4 old songs in them, and the entire new album. That was cool, I wanted to hear the new album!

I think you have to catch SY in those odd years between 'album tours' where they shake it up more -- well, the first 6 months of this year (and most of last year too, I suppose!) were like this. I won't lie, I would've loved to have seen ANY of the shows last year or earlier this year, but it didn't work out. I guarantee I won't be disappointed when I see them later this month though...
