Hi:  

Just walked in the door from the show at Anaheim House of Blues.  It was a 
great show, I think better then the fall show they just did here.  I got up 
front and got a spot in front of Bones.  I also grabbed one drum stick and a 
set list. The band played great and looked like they had a lot of fun.  Jim 
even smiled and moved around a little.  Man he plays a great guitar, its fun 
to watch him.  Peter was all over the stage like normal, he came close to 
hitting Bones a couple of times.  Here is what the set list from tonight said 
(might not be in complete order)

Mosquito March
Bullroarer
Too Much Sunshine
Overpass
Written In The Heart
Dreamworld
Luritja Way- Acoustic
Ships of Freedom- Acoustic
TIme to Heal- Acoustic
Blue Sky Mine- Acoustic
Been Away too Long
Say Your Prayers
Golden Age
Dead Heart
King of The Mountain
Beds Are Burning
Hercules
Redneck Wonderland
Truganini- Did not play
Forgotten Years

Also played Read about It, a duet of In the Valley with just Peter singing 
and Jim on Piano, then rob came out at the very end to sing.  They did a 
couple of other songs but I can't think of them right now.

They did two encores.  Had the acoustic music set like last tour in the 
middle of the concert.  The stage propping was three sections of corrugated 
steel one with a cockatoo, another with a windmill and the last one with a 
lizard on it hanging on the wall.  They also had a large kangaroo sculpture 
that Rob tried to hit with his drum sticks a couple of times.  They had a 
metal lizard and cockatoo hanging up in the lights also.  Rob also had the 
metal water drum by his drum set but did not play on it.

Indi- the guys from the Wedge were there again but more well mannered.  They 
threw a couple of the wedge T-shirts up to Peter.  He seemed happy to have 
them.  

Thats about all that I can recall.  Get  ready for some fun shows this tour.
