City: New Orleans


Before the show even started, we were waiting outside the House of Blues by the bus and equipment truck. Naturally, but surprisingly, there was only one protestor there telling us the word of GOD!! hee hee!! We were waiting around by the curb and I saw Ginger walk out of the building getting on the bus. He looked great!! He was wearing some black jeans and a black shirt and his hair even looked darker than the last time I saw him. Then a bit later, Manson opened a window a few stories above the HOB and started tearing pages of what looked like a Bible and letting them fall from the sky onto the guy preaching!! It was priceless!!

Here is the setlist--probably in no order at all, just what I can remember!!

1) �Irresponsible Hate Anthem
2) �Reflecting God
3) �Love Song
4) �Fight Song
5) �Great Big White World
6) �Dope Show
7) �Rock is Dead
8) Crucifiction in Space
9) �Beautiful People
10) Sweet Dreams
Encore
11) Rock n Roll Nigger

Well the opening act was Dead Hand System. They were ok, just not my type of music. I wasn't as impressed with them as I was when I first saw Godhead open up for Manson, but still they were interesting.

The show started off with some choir music singing "God Bless America", during this the band was getting onstage and Manson walked out with this crazy helmet/feather combination hat on. It was rather funny. They started off with Irresponsible Hate Anthem and rocked the entire show. The whole band sounded awesome but of course, Ginger sounded the best!! ;) He was wearing his little getup from the Guns, God, and Government tour--that bulletproof jacket looking thing and he was jamming. It was good to see him banging away on those drums--awesome stuff!! The rest of the band was wearing their same attire from the Guns, God, and Government tour: Twiggy in his dress, Pogo in that red jacket looking thing, and John5 in that long black coat.

Manson barely trashed Ginger's set. He took the microphone stand and just smashed one bass drum. But naturally, Ginger didn't stop the entire time!! The entire show was about an hour long and went by entirely too fast but it was awesome, especially seeing them in such a small venue. There wasn't any costume changes or anything of that sort--they just jammed the entire time!! It was a great concert.
