Cheers for the clarification Sam
The 75 dB limit is set for sound pressure levels measured at the nearest residential building, so the levels close to the stage are likely to be higher.
Awesome show!!! I’ve sailed between rows number 3 and 13 (the pressure was pretty intense during cuckoo for caca, surprise and gentle). Here’s also some pictures: http://yle.fi/uutiset/viihde/2009/06/faith_no_more_villitsi_yleisoa_-_katso_kuvat_825468.html
What was that riff they played before chariots? It sounded like enter sandman by metallica 🙂
Yeah, they played Digging the grave. Never been my favourite track though…infact I think that’s one of the worst songs by fnm so it wasn’t a welcome addition to setlist for me.
Digging the Grave! Wish I could’ve been there. Thanks for the vid. 🙂
King for a Day was added to the setlist after Ashes to Ashes (setlist.fm).
Mike did a flip? Wow.
No damper noticed yesterday 😉 The concert area was situated right in the Helsinki city centre with residential buildings next to it, so I can see the authorities’ point in restricting the noise level. Most people were wearing ear plugs anyway, and when I took mine off every once in a while, the noise from the crowd and the sound were overwhelming. To be honest, I don’t see the point in developing tinnitus when you can have an amazing show with 75 db.
Mike did a flip in the end of Just a man (or was it Digging the grave)? I was sure he wouldn’t be able to get up after that, but somehow he did;) Mike, you’re not twenty anymore;)
Ok, i’m addicted to fnm it’s getting ridiculous… 🙂
Hope they do digging the grave tomorrow at the Hove festival. Love the Helsinki snippets on youtube. Thanks to everybody contributing!
Ow this flickr photo is actually a video of Digging the Grave. I like it that they play this again:

Thanks J for the setlist, added it on setlist.fm: http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/faith-no-more/2009/kaisaniemi-park-helsinki-finland-43d67b93.html
Amazing show ! Loved Reunited and EVIDENCE IN SPANISH! WOW
75 db?????????
How is that even possible at a rock concert??
That must have put a major damper on the show!?
(Well new old one I mean)
Aha they played a new one, Digging The Grave, great!
They also played The Gentle Art of Making Enemies

They played Digging The Grave after Stripsearch during the first encore! Patton was clearly having trouble remembering the lyrics and he did mess up a few times. He was shrugging and looking troubled which was kinda funny 😀
Incredible show! Helsinki got a new nickname from Patton and Roddy: Helstinky.
This is what I can remember. Maybe missing song or two, and order is not 100% Setlist: Reunited, nowhere, sunshine, caffeine, evidence, surprise, last cup, poker/chinese, cuckoo, easy, ashes, midlife, introduce, gentle, aggressive, epic, just a man. encore: chariots/strip, grave. 2nd encore: joke, we care.
Cheers. Have added the official times from LiveNation too just to be sure.
the magazine states half nine, which means 20:30 in finnish, not 21:30
