To be honest, I have no idea.  I am unfamiliar with their material
since _Fully Completely_ (now that I live in the radio wastelend of
NYC/NJ).  I saw the show advertised a couple of weeks before it
happened, and didn't have a chance to "catch up" with their newer
material beforehand, so I didn't recognise probably half of the songs.
But they sounded top notch (not that I'd expect anything
different).  :-)
