Last night was the 15th time I’ve seen O.A.R. since 2000 and, like always, it was a damn good time. If you haven’t had the chance to see them live, you have missed out on the best show of your life. They are all so solid at what they do. Every experience is different from the last as they add instrumentals/vocals to the live songs and change up the additions on each tour. I have considered them the best live act around for many years and once again that belief was reaffirmed.

Last night’s set list:

“This Town”
“Dareh Meyod”
“Whose Chariot?”
“About an Hour Ago”
“Anyway”
“Lay Down”
“Hey Girl”
“Ran Away to the Top of the World Today”
“Living in the End”
“I Feel Home”
“That Was a Crazy Game of Poker”
“Heard the World”
“Love and Memories”

Encore:
“Shattered (Turn the Car Around)”
“Program Director”
“City on Down”
