The set list for Dallas doesn't matter anyway. Before going, I glanced at the some of the set lists over at BHTTM website, and just based on my recollection of the show, the set list changes nightly. For instance, the encore in Dallas was "Again and Again," and "Broken Hearted Savior."

Side Note: "Again and Again" is my newest favorite live song. It's a song about a relationship with a woman who can't decide whether she wants to stay or go. Pretty much BHTTM standard operating procedure for songs. I think I wrote this in my review of their new album, but I would love to meet the girl(s) who screwed up Todd Mohr's life. As my friend Tim said during the show, "Hell hath no fury like a musician scorned."

The show itself was a tale of two acts. It takes awhile for an audience to "warm" up to a band. And BHTTM, without an opening act, start with a cold crowd. Not a bad crowd, but a cold crowd: still trying to find a place to stand, getting that last beer before the show starts, making sure their friends all get in, looking around for people they might know, etc. So, the first half of the show was BHTTM getting the crowd into shape for the second half. They hooked me 3 or 4 songs into it when they played "Freedom Fighter" a song off the new album. The chorus is infectious, and despite the subject matter, an upbeat song:

Freedom fighter, don't let 'em get you alive
You won't change a damn thing that is true
Freedom fighter, keep your head on tonight
Take me on with you
Take me along with you tonight

You could actually feel the warmth spreading over the crowd during this song. The whole first half of the show was BHTTM spilling their guts all over the stage and it worked. By the time they played "Circle," the last song before the intermission, the crowd was ready to go. It was a rowdy second half from note one. About halfway through the second half of the show, Todd told the audience they were the rowdiest audience they had played in front of so far on this tour.

Side Note 2: With everything going on in the world right now, Todd really didn't talk about anything. They played and played and played and that was enough.
