Added Only.
Added Trent's comments.
Updated song list into chronological order.
Added The Big Come Down.
Added Suck.
I just got back from what might be the greatest thing I've attended. In summary, it was amasing. The atmosphere and energy was insane through most of it and I was bouncing through it all.
I arrived at 5:30. The doors opened at 6:00 and the actual concert started at 7:30. I'm glad they let us in early (was supposed to be opened at 6:30) because I was freezing. 10F without a coat is painful.
The "Deltaplex" wasn't very big at all, but it was packed. The stage was full of crap, just all over the place. I was about 8-10ft. away from the fence. As for the opening band "Moving Units," they sucked. It was really bad, as it seemed that the main vocalist hit the needle before going on stage. The biggest pop was when he said this would be their last song.
Then there was an intermission about 30 mintues long. Longest. Thirty. Minutes. Ever. By now, the pot was getting to me. The smell of it is just nasty for me. Of course the arena roared when the lights dimmed.

The curtain was down, so you couldn't see anything. I don't think they actually played it, but just had the album version run through the speakers. But nonetheless the intensity was extreme, mosh pits starting immediately.
Mr. Self Destruct
Not much to say.
Sin
AWESOME. Almost as much energy as March of the Pigs. Just insane live.
Terrible Lie
Sounds exactly like one version on And All That Could Have Been. Awesome, awesome live.
The Line Begins to Blur
The lights behind the band lit up red and dripped... neat effect (see Every Day Is Exactly The Same pic).
March of the Pigs
Out of all of the songs played tonight, this was most energetic. Everyone moshing, jumping, running, surfing, yelling, pushing... amasing. Absolutely stunning.
The Frail/The Wretched
YES! YES! Absolutely great live. Just amasing. The lights, music, everything.
Closer
All the lights were red on this one as Trent stood on his keyboard off-center of the stage. Some idiots in front of me thought it was cool to eat eachother's faces while the song was playing.
The Big Come Down
The crowd was really into this one. As was Trent. Just a really good live song.
Burn
Kinda disappointed on this one. They almost butchered it... it didn't even come remotely close to what it should sound like.
Gave Up
This just rocked out loud. Nothing more to say.
Eraser, Right Where It Belongs, and Beside You In Time
All were played with a projector running on a semi-transparent screen so you could still see the band. Eraser had 100s of random clips of bugs, animals, insects, etc. Right Where It Belongs was an anti-war-type movie. It showed clips of Iraq, tanks, cemetaries, US soldiers threatening a little girl (amoung others), and President Bush who, obviously, got a whole arena-full of boos and middle fingers. Beside You In Time I can't exactly remember but at the end, the screen "shattered" like glass and raised up. Really neat.
Right after the projecion part, Trent took a while to talk to the crowd. I was really surprised because so far we only heard a few Thanks Yous!
"As you might know already, we've been on tour for eight months after a 5 year absense. It's has been ****ing amasing so far and I want to sincerly thank you all. And between you and me, this leg of the tour (second leg, northern area) has been the ****ing best. Oh, and, *picks up a bra that was thrown onto the stage* ... first bra of the tour!"
Too bad the whole "lighter" incident had to happen after such nice words.
With Teeth
Absolutely awesome live. It just rocked.
Wish
The lights through this song was epic, and Wish has always been one of my favorites.
Only
The lights (see Exactly The Same), top and bottom, were alternating with each beat. Neat neat. The song itself was butchered like Burn. Kinda disappointing.
Every Day Is Exactly The Same
This was very cool live. The changed the song around a bit and the background was very neat: a desert scene going from left to right: http://static.flickr.com/35/98381957_f449c5604d.jpg?v=0
The Day The World Went Away
I was really surprised that they played this... but a very welcome surprise! Sounded like the AATCHB version.
Even Deeper
Surprised again! One of my top favorites off of The Fragile. Not too much different from the album version, but very amasing.
Suck
The lights were so bright on this song. Looked like this:

Hurt
The "ending" of the concert, or what it really was. About half way through, some kid threw his lighter at Trent and hit him in the face. The music stopped as Trent knocked over his keyboard and mic. End concert. I hope that guy got raped. Violently. A video: http://www.berlamont.com/throwdown.avi
I'll edit this later for more details as they come back to me. I'm very tired and smell bad so I'm heading to bed after a shower.
It hurts to listen to some of the songs now that were played at the concert. I miss it already.
