Amid all the jokes about genitalia and how much chicks dig them, Tom DeLonge dropped in a pretty serious little anecdote a few songs into Blink-182's set Wednesday that added a little historic significance to the band's latest stop at Xcel Energy Center (significant if you're a Blink fan, anyway).
"This building is where I was the day I wrote Travis [Barker] a letter saying, 'Let's get the band back together,' " DeLonge recounted. That must've been at the show his side band Angels & Airwaves played with Weezer at the X in 2008, which was just about a month after Barker survived the plane crash. Almost three years later, the band is back to its old self, with a few new songs of note adding to its set. Click here for the full review and photo gallery of the concert. Here's the set list for both Blink and the truly rousing opener My Chemical Romance.
