John Paul Jones Arena, Charlottesville, VA
Set 1: AC/DC Bag > Chalk Dust Torture, Stealing Time From the Faulty Plan, The Divided Sky, Ya Mar[1], Sneakin' Sally through the Alley, The Old Home Place > Cavern > Funky Bitch, David Bowie, The Wedge, Bold As Love
Set 2: Tweezer -> Light > Piper -> Free, Sweet Virginia, Harry Hood > Suzy Greenberg > Golgi Apparatus, Run Like an Antelope[1]
Encore: Loving Cup > Tweezer Reprise
[1] Alternate lyrics referencing a naked stage crasher.
Notes: At the start of Ya Mar, a naked guy jumped onstage and ran around for a bit before being rounded up by security, prompting Trey to observe that "Naked Guy's" antics "took a lot of balls." During Ya Mar, Mike changed the lyrics to "he was a naked pa." Trey sang the verses to Light out of order. The sound for Mike's bass dropped out during Golgi leading Trey to label it the "trio version." During the ensuing Antelope, Mike took a bass solo to make up for the bass everyone missed in Golgi. Antelope also contained several lyric changes referencing the naked stage crasher.
This show was part of the "2009 Fall Tour."

Although the Tweezer/Reprise endcaps have been played often throughout this tour, the jams were tight and it didn't sound stale at all, and I guess it was appropriate since it was snowing outside on Saturday. I was glad to see Golgi. It's my favorite song but this was only the third time I've seen it in 27 shows. I loved hearing Sweet Virginia and had a notion they'd play that. There's never a bad time for a Loving Cup encore.
This show had a few shenanigans but no gimmicks. I'm glad to hear the streaker didn't go to jail. John Paul Jones arena was small and fantastic, and I hope they return there. The sound there is great, the sightlines are great, and the staff was very pleasant. All in all, this was a great way to close the tour. Thanks boys.
