| Converge -- Cleveland 10/19/09
This is what they played, and I'm pretty sure the order is pretty accurate. Anyways, show was amazing, Jake was unbelievable, and I got a picture with him, which effectively makes the rest of my life awesome. | 1 | Converge Plagues | 2 | No Heroes | 3 | Bare My Teeth | 4 | Axe To Fall | 5 | Reap What You Sow | 6 | Worms Will Feed | 7 | Cutter | 8 | Eagles Become Vultures | 9 | The Broken Vow | 10 | Dropout | 11 | Hope Street | 12 | Bitter and then Some | 13 | Black Cloud | 14 | Dark Horse | 15 | Last Light | 16 | Heartache | 17 | Hellbound | 18 | Concubine | |

10.20.09 | what a wierd set list | botb
10.20.09 | setlist is lacking some older awesome stuff but honestly has most of the stuff i would have liked to see. | DiceMan
10.20.09 | I saw them about a week ago.. It didn't go so hot for them. Their vocalist kind of just jumped around and growled one word into the mic. Very disappointing. | feav233
10.20.09 | did my undergrad in cleveland, my buddy wanted me to make it back up to go to it but couldn't make it, looks like it would have been a good show | Prophet178
10.20.09 | Seeing them next Friday. Can't wait. | accompliceofmydeath
10.20.09 | Damn, they closed with Jane Doe when I saw last year(?) | FreePizzaDay
10.20.09 | I don't know why they didn't play anything pre-Jane Doe, but it's not that big of a deal. The new stuff is great, and honestly, they hit most of what I wanted to see.
@musicaddiction101, they probably didn't look to good because I'm assuming you saw them in a large venue with Mastodon and Dethklok, which is all wrong. Converge is meant to be seen in a small, intimate venue with a rowdy crowd. If you have anything less than that, the experience will suffer.
Luckily, Converge made a stop at Cleveland without Mastodon and DK, and it was in the Grog Shop, one of Cleveland's better venues for hardcore. | Prophet178
10.20.09 | Ah you bastard, I gotta wait for them to come back on their headlining tour to see them in a proper venue. | FreePizzaDay
10.20.09 | Yes, your life sucks :)
Nah, there headline tour is going to be awesome. I hope it's with Lewd Acts. They haven't done any touring for their album... | Prophet178
10.20.09 | Yeah, they already said before the Mastodon tour that they will be doing a headlining after this tour is finished.
They were tweeting asking people who they want to tour with them earlier haha. | NebSnurb
10.20.09 | If they're going on tour after this one, I'll definitely go see them. | CrimsonChin
10.20.09 | Lucky, closest one to me is tomorrow but i can't go
F*CK SCHOOL NIGHTS | blindsided21
10.21.09 | List needs Conduit and the Saddest Day, but otherwise, it's awesome. | Klekticist
10.21.09 | yeh, i missed this show...
how was the venue / crowd?
obviously, band was amazing... | FreePizzaDay
10.21.09 | Venue was great. The Grog Shop is small and has a low stage, so it naturally lends itself to a hardcore atmosphere in the sense that there's no security or barricades preventing crowd interaction.
The crowd was pretty good. Very rowdy and enthusiatic, and there was no head-walking, which is good because it's annoying. Apparently someone set off a firecracker, which probably could have started a fire, but whatever. All in all, the crowd was pretty good, as long as you were there to see Converge and not High on Fire or Keelhaul. It was a Converge crowd through and through and a couple of my metal buddies who were there for HoF were a bit annoyed.
And Converge was awesome. I wanted to see both Conduit and The Saddest Day, but I don't think Converge is going to play those songs as often anymore. | elephantREVOLUTION
10.21.09 | wow, at the grog shop. i bet that was intense. ive only been to indie shows at the grog shop :( | ManicDemise
05.24.10 | This set is great, but Orphaned in place of Bare My Teeth and then I'm content. Also could use moar Conduit, The Saddest Day and Color Me Blood Red. |
