I snuck my way down the the front and center of the lawn seating!!! So my seats were acceptable. Overall, GREAT SHOW! SYSTEM KICKED ASS!!! (My only gripe is that they needed to play more from Steal This Album! (NO SONGS!!!) and some new Hypnotize stuff, instead of playing 10/11 tracks from Mezmerize (Thankfully, no Cocaine), as well as the singles from Toxicity)
Also, there was this dude present onstage, playing guitar and joking around with Shavo. He was wearing a trenchcoat and a turban. Strange stuff!

Speaking of Shavo, he didn't say a word the entire show!

Setlist (Plus some cool stuff that happened)

Soldier Side-Intro
Attack
BYOB ( a few Hey Chicago's! in there from Serj)
Revenga
Needles (cool crowd participation intro)
Deer Dance ("Dressed in black" changed to Dressed as Lebanon"
Suggestions
Psycho (Crowd clapping + Daron's crazy, guitar-humping solo)
Chop-Suey!
Lonely Day (No fireworks, surprisingly, as I have read other reviews of some interesting lyrics changes)
Kill Rock N Roll
Old School Hollywood
Sad Statue
Violent Pornography (Daron Intro (adding that sodomy is a good way to prevent pregnancy, hahaha) with MSNBC and Girls Gone Wild and America's addiction to oil as well as the crowd singing the chorus)
Cigaro (With intro)
Radio/Video (with Serj introducing it in a funny voice saying "if you want to dance, turn on the radio" a few times)
Hypnotize
Lost in Hollywood (Lyrics change to "They take you and rape you" and John had a little drum solo at the end)
Question! (Daron's high pitched intro)
War? (Electronic version, with Serj SCREAMING an intro attack at the economics and the ultimate reason for war being greed and egotism, VERY powerful)
Sultans of Swing (Dire Straits cover with "we are the system, we are the system of a down" as replaced lyrics)
Aerials (Crowd doing ah, ah, ah's)
Toxicity
Suite-Pee (Serj literally ROLLS on the floor and recites the following lyric change "Lie naked on the floor and let the spiders, crawl in your ass")
Sugar (Daron's LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!!)

At the very end of the show, Daron walks up to the mic and says "In the end it all goes away, in the end it all goes away, in the end WE ALL go away" and waves his hand as if to swat a few mosquitoes.
