Amazing, as always

Could you have done any better? Thank you for making this show just as unforgetable as the other times I've seen you. The set list was amazing, the old songs were so greatly appreciated. And Blue and yellow, I'm so glad you guys did that one, last time you didn't and we were pretty sad. I know you probably get tired of playing the old songs, but trust me, you have infinite fans out there that have been around since that first cd and we love hearing those ones that hooked us in. The interaction with the crowd was fantastic, it was so much fun to be there. The encore? Wow. On my way? again, wow. The whole crowd was really feeling that one, you all did the most wonderful performance throughout.

The only complaint I had about this show was that during the acoustic part you started playing noises like you were going to play Find A Way... why did you not? I was so excited about it I stopped breathing lol. It was perfect because the man who makes that song mean so much was right there with me. We just looked at each other in shock, with similar expressions on our faces. I'm surprised I wasn't screaming my head off, but like I said, I stopped breathing for a good minute there, with my mouth hanging wide open. I was entirely floored that it was a possibility. Wish I could have heard that one, it is a bit of a dream of mine. But seriously, an amazing show.

I can't wait to see you next time you come to Iowa, Nebraska... any of the surrounding states, really. Thank you for such a marvelous experience and all the gorgeous music that you make. All my love.

Guys, siriously

YOU MUST COME TO FINLAND.
I hate that some of my "friends" are saying that you're not famous enough to come here and make a great show.
It pisses me off SO SO SO MUCH!
And your music is great!

setlist

Alright now, I see that you have not played Poetic Tragedy on this tour.... so it's time ! (without Burt screaming of course, take care of that voice !)
My picks.... it's my first Used concert ....

Blood on My Hands
Smother Me
POETIC TRAGEDY
The Bird & the worm
Bulimic
Pretty Handsome Awkward
I'm a fake....
take it away

What about the download cards........ on sale this concert... ?
I need to meet this band that my daughter is so into. I drove her & friend to Chicago to see you, spent the entire day waiting around but didn't get the chance to meet you...
they even got a "citation" from the Chicago police for breaking curfew waiting afterwards..... great concert they said and fun memories... hoping that you could sign the citation for us after the show ... she is going to take some photographs with her new camera and will share them with you ! She's the sweet one with a huge smile and braces behind the camera:) and usually right up front. Also, do you have any sources for your old posters.... still trying to find her favorite one... no luck yet.

Enjoy Des Moines.... check out the new outdoor ...(burrrrr...) sculpture garden downtown that opened since you were here last... its worth a drive by !

Let me know if you need anything while you are here.... I'm very resourceful.

have a good show

I am a 53 year old mother of a HUGE fan of your band. My daughter makes a "morning mix" each week to listen to while I drive her to school and she always includes a Used song.
Slowly, but now I am hooked and realize you are a great band.
I am incredibly moved by Poetic Tragedy since we unfortunately have first hand experience with suicide in our family. I am excited to see your show in Des Moines with my daughter and would love to hear you play that song live. I am a caterer in Des Moines and would enjoy cooking a wonderful meal for you all while you are here !! SERIOUSLY !! I hope you have a great New Year !! See you soon.

hell YA

Merry x-mas to me!
