I was at the Coach House show also.  It was my 4th Church show, having attended the tours for HOB, AENT and FY, but missed ULTC and U23.  The setlists noted above are correct.  The previous comment about the reverse chronological order is indeed correct (until the encores), with one exception that I recall:  Space Needle was played second, before Reptile, even though ULTC predates EMS.  The version of Space Needle was, by the way, awesome, as others have noted.  Marty was playing a big drum, at times, during the song.

In general, I like the show a lot.  They seemed pretty loose, and there was a lot of banter.  Even Peter spoke a lot, though he doesn't quite have the quick wit of Marty and Steve.  Steve did tell one joke that the crowd completely missed...mentioning something about the band first getting together at a public restroom in King's Cross, or something to that effect.  Peter piped in something in the background about George Michael, but the crowd just didn't get it.  It is billed as a acoustic show, and there were no electric guitars played that I could see.  The show was still quite loud at times, though.  There was lots of instrument switching, with Peter on the keyboard on several songs, and Tim spending a song or two there also (no drumming at all).  The intermission I really could have done without.

Complaints about the song choices...really wish they would have found a way to throw in Anchorage.  Mistress from P=A is far from one of my favorites, but, then, I'm not terribly found of that entire album.  Really wish they would have chosen "Two Places at Once" or "Business Woman" from SA.  I'm actually surprised at the whole concept in general, one song per album going backwards in time; seems almost gimmicky by Church standards.  But I enjoyed it nonetheless.  Wish I could catch them again on this tour, but it's probably not in the cards.  Also wish they would play my town, but they're skipping us for the third tour in row...

brettyb, the likelihood of "Business Woman" being played is probably nil. didn't they write it as a joke when asked for more radio friendly songs or something and were pissed it was on disc 1 of SA, if i recall correctly? I would love to hear Song in the Afternoon and 0408(two of my favorite songs by the guys from the last slew of releases) as well but will take whatever the guys want to play.

Yes, I'll grant you that "Business Woman" was something of a tongue in cheek request, however, I do like it better than My Little Problem.
