The Alarm opened the night with a rousing, raucous set of old and new tunes that
underscored its punk leanings. Vocalist Mike Peters accented several tunes with
his trademark urgent harmonica, and stalked the stage with strident guitar for
tunes like "Guns," "The Stand" and "Spirit of '76."  New tunes from Guerilla Antics (such as "Situation Under Control" in particular) were rip-roaring, as was recent single "45 RPM." Peters made frequent reference to the late Mississippi Nights “ a favorite haunt of the Alarm back in the day“ but his wide perma-grin and jubilant demeanor were infectious. If the
Buzzcocks can play Warped Tour, so could the Alarm.
