Fucking amazing show tonight! Not really a fan of Of Mice & Men, but to their credit, they were actually decent live. Manson was up next, and he was on his A-game. The whole band was. And Tyler Bates played tonight's show too! Super stoked about that, because I love the 2-guitarist dynamic. Gives the band and the music that punch to the crotch and extra oomph it needs. Gil Sharone is a fucking beast, and Twiggy's outfits get more weird and more wonderful each tour.

My girlfriend took a few photos. We had balcony seats, but it wasn't an insanely big venue to begin with, so we still had a great view. And then during "The Beautiful People", Manson walked all throughout the crowd and walked RIGHT BY where I was sitting. Couldn't fucking believe it, that he was that close to me. So cool, so so cool. Such a nice little moment. Slipknot were amazing too, and closed out the show. Back to Manson though...

Setlist:

1. Intro / Angel with the Scabbed Wings
2. Disposable Teens
3. No Reflection
4. mOBSCENE
5. Deep Six
6. This is The New Shit
7. The Dope Show
8. Sweet Dreams (sadly, no stilts this time)
9. Antichrist Superstar (where he just spoke a lot of gibberish during most of it haha. And weirdly, it wasn't awful. He made it work)
10. The Beautiful People

Sadly, no "Cruci-Fiction in Space". But still an amazing show.


Anyway, a pic or two. These aren't great quality, but she took like a pic or two for each song.


Antichrist Superstar (burning Bible included)




Deep Six (the $666 bill was rolled out for this song)




Angel with the Scabbed Wings (we were pretty close, despite being seated)




And... me and my lady right before Manson went on stage =)




Also, picked up this sweet tee for $35. A little steep, but what do you expect AT the show! Tour dates on the back. One of the better new Manson tees in a while. Love it.

Glad you had a good time mate. Very jealous I can't make it to any of this tour. Cheers for posting your pictures and the setlist.

I like that near the end that he brought back the belly bounce hip thrust even though he didn't do it that long. :P Haven't seen that in a live performance video since the old days.

If you're honestly satisfied with this set list, you're f*cking deluded.

what an awful array of songs.

Surely you're not someone who gets excited by hearing Disposable Teens, Mobscene, No Reflection, This is the new shit.

I thought MM would deliver some sort of cutting edge set, being the support act and all.

I feel sorry for the fans on here that only have this sort of set to look forward to. How disappointing

[Unpretty Unsafe]

^ Nice positive attitude, sport. It was a co-headlining tour, what do you expect? It's usually just the "hits" and singles on these kinds of show anyway. Obviously when he tours in support of the next album, it'll be a longer show with a better setlist. And I'll go and enjoy that too. And no, the choices of songs aren't the most desirable but again, it was a CO-HEADLINING tour, what do you expect?

Been a fan for 20 years now, and after seeing how his live performances suffered from roughly 2007-2012, it was a breath of fresh air to see Manson back on his game. THAT was what was most exciting.

The songs he played were fine for what the show was. It was the energy and excitement in which he and the band played them, that I thoroughly enjoyed. They put on a solid show. Why hate on that? Don't be so cynical. Lighten up, have a Fiber One bar, and enjoy life a little more.
