Were we at the same show? I saw them at Irving Plaza in June (or was it
July?) and they *started off* with Out There Somewhere. Their encore
consisted of Chime and Impact, I believe. I've got the set list around

They didn't play anything off of Snivilisation at that show, though.
Perhaps you are speaking of a different show-- didn't they play at the
CMJ Music Festival in September in New York?
