liam o maonlai opened, then patty griffin. swell season didn't go on till 8:15 or so. set list:

into the mystic (van morrison)
falling slowly
lies
the moon
when yr mind's made up
i have loved you wrong
say it to me now
leave
what happens when the heart just stops
finally (the frames)
back broke
fogtown (michelle shocked)
brokenhearted hoover fixer sucker guy
red chord (the frames)

encore:
the hill
if you want me
fitzcarraldo (the frames)
forever young w/ liam o maonlai (bob dylan)

i'm not sure if anyone else around me noticed, but they messed up more than a few times, like fudging lyrics, random chords, etc. something was wrong with colm's violin at one point as well. though they did preface the show by saying that they'd had a few weeks off so they'd forgotten a bunch of stuff. who knows. great show overall though. crowd was great, very mellow as expected.
