That concert was pretty fucking awesome! I had an awesome time! Now, I don't exactly remember the setlist, so I'll just talk about key points of the show

They started about 9:30 or so and started with "Solider's Side", which Daron sang so good. Then onto BYOB. Now we were able to see everyone. Daron was decked out in his usual black blazer and fedora. Serj was wearing his brown jacket with a baby blue shirt on underneath. Shavo was wearing his yellow socks and John, I think, was wearing a white t-shirt.

After "BYOB", they played "Revenga". It was done very well. Then they started to play (I'm sure it was) "Suggestions", but they then immedeatly began "Attack", as if they were trying to fool us or something. After that was done I think they went to "Suggestions", which was played ever so well.

From this point on, I don't remember the setlist:

Before Daron started playing "Lost in Hollywood", he gave a little speech about how when they started System, they were just 4 guys from different parts of the world. Then he said something about how this was their last show (to which everyone booed) before they went on a break and how they didn't know how long this break was gonna last but that they will always be System of a Down. Then they started "Lost in Hollywood".

Now, from previous reviews, people said that Daron said this long intro/speech to "Violent Pornography", but that wasn't the case in West Palm. For the intro, Daron sang/moaned something into the mic. But during "War?", Serj gave this super long speech about how the world is all fucked up and how there are bombs falling everywhere in the world every second and how the people who run this country are responsible, then they started "War?". And I think that it was during this song that Serj saw something goin' down in the pit between some dudes, so he yelled at them to stop (and I mean really yelled at them!).

Anyhoo, Daron sang his usual "my cock..." song as the intro to "Cigaro". He also played his altered version of Sultans of Swing, to which Serj played along with him on guitar, as the intro to "Aerials", which was played so awesome.

After "Aerials", they played "Toxicity", so I knew the show was winding down. Then they immedeately went to "Sugar" (No fucking "Suite-Pee"! >_<). But it was played with so much energy and Serj was dancing around like crazy!

Then the song ended, to which I was sad. u_u Daron introduced Beno (the manager) and another guy who's name I didn't catch (Sako, perhaps?). Then all 4 members, Daron, Serj, Shavo, and John, all went to the side of the stage, put their arms around each other, and bowed. I was happy for them, but sad inside. I would never be able to see them again (at least not for a long time)! But at least I got to see them at their last show and it's a night I'll never forget!

Other songs played, but not mentioned in my review:
Psycho
Question!
Deer Dance
Chop Suey!
Needles
Hypnotize
Lonely Day
Radio/Video
Old School Hollywood

P.S. I forgot to mention this: Harry Perry did not play with System at this show, unlike the other shows. I mean, I saw him there playing his guitar during the day. I even went up to him and hugged him and got a poster from him. But he didn't play with System. Weird... o_0

Yea, i think the names are Beno and Sako.

Sad im kind of sad that they introduced them because that would seem as if theyre going away forever, if they didnt it would show that theyre certain that they'll be back


I'm keeping my trust in them however, and I will be waiting til the welcome back tour begins!

As two people were about to fight in the front area during the interlude of War I think, Serj said something along the lines of, "Stop it! This is not what we came here do. Stop that right fucking now." They did. Then he said Thank You..




Damn that was cool. I wish I was there to see the last performance. I'm sure it was amazing. Sad to see them go. Love the group hug. I can feel the love. I can wait to see pictures and videos.

You're right Moonete, this was an amazing show. What made the show even better was the fact that it was raining and there were lightning bolts flying everywhere during they're set. BTW after Revenga they started playing the into to Know and then they played Attack. Before they played Lost In Hollywood Daron sounded kinda sad when he gave his speech. Though many people booed I didnt boo because I support everything they do. To tell you the truth I got kinda sad when he finished the speech. Those guys are my inspiration. At the end of Aerials Serj said "We Love You" I doubt I was the only one who said this but I said "We Love You Too!!!!" Lol. Serj's speech was amazing before War?. And he's right about everything. They put so much energy into Sugar. Personally I think its one of the best perfromances of the song..

BTW Moonete the othe dude's name I belive was Jonathan Blouthhart or something like that. And I thought Harry Perry was gonna perhom with System too. He's an amazing guitarist. I would've bought his CD but I was running low on cash at the time.

My fuckin body hurts from moshing to much and my neck hurts from heading beanging and also my voice is gone lol. But it's all worth the pain I got to see SOAD.

Pics came out shitty because the LCD screen on my camera broke so I had to guestimate what the camera was going to take a picture of. Sorry for the group hug photo too. Feel free to use these any way you please considering they aren't professional or anything. Oh yeah, you're gonna need WinRar www.rarlabs.com to extract the pictures.

I definitely hate my friends dad for losing our only hope of going to the show. I would have given anything to go see System, but I have no luck whatsoever. Great that you went though!

I've got (crappy) pictures!







I've also got a small 10-second videoclip of BYOB. I won't post it unless you really want to see it.

being on-stage with them has brought the music to a new level in my mind. When you stand inches away from them as they play those songs, they become even more powerful
