Quote of the day: "I heard them say that the meek shall reign on earth. Phantasmal myriads of sane bucolic birth. I've seen the rapture in a starving baby's eyes. Inchoate beatitude, the Lord of the Flies." - 1000 More Fools

As pretty much everyone knows, Bad Religion performed at the Reason Rally in Washington D.C. on March 24. It's been a week and half ago already, but since we had an exclusive video underway we postponed creating a news item for this.
So let's see if we can give a visual summary of what happened there...

Let's start with the soundcheck on Friday. Luckily someone was able to record The New America (yes indeed!!), Flat Earth Society, God Song and Beyond Electric Dreams:

 
 
 
Then, the following video contains Greg singing the national anthem and (almost) the entire set without any interuptions, which is becoming rare these days in youtube-land. It's just the last two songs that are missing: Infected and Sorrow. Check out the show page for the complete setlist and more: http://www.thebrpage.net/shows/show.asp?showID=1747
 
Many many thanks to frod79 for filming this and spending time and money to transfer his MiniDV tape to digital.
This video is now also available as downloadable bootleg right here (in WMV format).
 
 
Also, check out some reviews of the entire event here (by simian) and here (by frod79).

Red was the 'official color' of the reason rally, to go along with the red A in the Scarlet Letter
