Let's separate my miracle entrance into this show and just focus on the real thing. Been listening since 2001 and going to shows since 2002 and this was: A) the best Brand New show I've ever seen, B) the best show I've ever seen period. 

Playing for an insanely small crowd of 300 people, this blistering, emotional set recorded from an audience bootleg has it all -- and in great quality too because of how tight the sound at the Bell House was. A rabid, screaming crowd (see "Logan" or "Sic Transit," hell, EVERY SONG), awesome improvisation and riffs on songs ("Tommy Gun" bridge, soloing in the "Sic Transit" bridge, a HAUNTING extended "Limousine," a seamless segue from "Deguasser" into "You Won't Know"), seriously funny banter regarding "We Didn't Start The Fire," a bizarro cover with "Your Love" and the cherry on top -- a "You Won't Know" that literally sounds like a bomb is exploding in the venue during the breakdown. Seriously, Garrett's bass is tuned to 11. 

This is Brand New at their absolute finest.
