Tom Morello just finished up his 2019 "Fall Offensive" tour in support of his last solo album release, The Atlas Underground. He wrapped up the North American trek on November 12th in San Francisco at The Fillmore with an 18 song setlist, which is divided between six different videos, titled in this order:
- The Grain Elevator Communique Video
- What Does Freedom Mean to You Video
- The Little Lame Communique Video
- The Music Is Violent We Are Not Video
- The Walls of Jericho Communique Video
- Famous Last Words Video
The sets kick off with "Lead Poisoning" and "Where It's At Ain't What It Is," and include mostly songs off of the 2018 effort. He also includes songs from his Nightwatchman project like "Save the Hammer for the Man" and "The Garden Gethsemane."
The last three songs of the set are covers, included Bruce Springsteen's "The Ghost of Tom Joad" and John Lennon's "Power to the People" sandwiched in-between Rage Against the Machine's "Killing in the Name." He also included a medley that featured "Like a Stone," a collaboration he did with System of A Down's Serj Tankian, and "Cochise" by Audioslave.
Other fun moments in the night included special guest performances, with Bassnectar performing "Rabbit's Revenge" and then rapper Vic Mensa joining Morello on their collaborative song "We Don't Need You." Later on, Carl Restivo joined Morello to perform "Save the Hammer for the Man."

Morello only did the one Rage song throughout the tour, but fans are rejoicing in the fact that Rage Against the Machine are reuniting in 2020! So far, they are confirmed headliners for the two Coachella weekends, and a few dates leading up to the fest, but we know RATM won't leave us without a full reunion tour!
The reasoning behind reuniting is the band's thirst for political justice. With the 2020 elections coming up, and President Trump's relentless persistence to build a wall on the the southern border of Mexico, it's time for some Rage.
See the dates they've announced so far, below!
