	NOTES: A near full moon tonight and an outdoor venue. Before 'Given to Fly,' Ed tells the crowd to check it 	out and he notes, "It's nice to be here ... beautiful moon ... nice and hot ... a really good night for 		singing." There isn't a 'Daughter' tag--Ed sings "shades go down ... the moon is round ... shades go down." 	'Rats' is a BIG surprise, introduced as the first time played with Matt C., [we haven't heard this since 		Buffalo '96] off the second album, doesn't get played much and "if I screw up the words, fuck you ... at 		least we're giving it a try." The improv leading to 'MFC' is much like the improv leading to 'Habit' at 		many of the Australian shows earlier this year. Later Ed says, "Is there a difference between a dreamer and 	someone who wishes for something? I think there is. I still haven't figured out which I am," leading to 		'Wishlist.' Ed chokes on some of the 'Leatherman' lyrics so he sings "la, la" for a whole verse and makes 		fun of himself. During 'RVM,' the band is silouetted and different colors are cycled through on the 			backdrop, making a nice effect. Mike absolutely rules 'Black' every night. The stage is very wide at 			Virginia Beach and he runs all over it. Ed makes a crack about how they just found out there's a curfew but 	they'll play right up to it and then says that they also just learned that Stone's zipper was down 			during 	the first set but "no one got hurt." 'Porch' is outstanding with a shirtless Mike playing the 			flying V, fast breakdown with the tribal drums and Ed has the hand mirror out again. Other 	highlights: 	rocking 'Alive' and 'Sonic Reducer;' long 'Save it for Later' tag. Band was great; crowd was drunk.
