They did leave off one song from the album, "Zzyzx Rd." That last song was replaced with "Bother" (with an intro of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game"), which provided one of the most memorable moments of any concert I've been to. Everyone has been to a concert where the crowd sings along with the hits. This show was no different than countless other shows with countless other sing alongs, but something happened during "Bother" which set this apart from all the others. It was so special as to actually throw Corey Taylor off his game.
As he sang the words, the crowd sang along, but when it came to singing the backup, the crowd backed off and sang that, saving Corey for the lead. The look on his face was pure amazement. Something very special happened, and Corey saw it. His reaction was priceless. You could tell he was in the midst of something new. Many singers have told crowds they were the best, but that is usually just something said to keep the crowd going, but when Corey stopped singing and addressed us, it was genuine. It was the way he said it, the look in his eye, all clues that he truly meant it. It was a moment that will not soon be forgotten.
Following that moment the set ended, but the show was not over. It was mere moments before the band returned to the stage. The set was closed with a trio of songs from their eponymous debut. The final track was the opening song of that album, "Get Inside." Talk about leaving on a high note!
