Enjoyed the show but pretty pedestrian setlist. Very greatest hitsy. Looooved seeing Army Reserve and Tremor Christ. Enjoyed the backspacer love too. Haven't seen Got Some and Amongst the Waves since 2010.

The tuned down DTE was definitely an accident and they all seemed to think it was pretty funny.

Crowd was weird. Lots of energy for the first 2/3 of the main set and then it just kinda died for the rest of the show. Ed seemed to be really trying to bring it back, but only the Ten songs really got there... oh well

I think part of he reason for the crowd dying off was the entire crowd at their seats waiting for 45 minutes before it started.

Agreed. No need to play for longer, just start on time so you aren’t rushing through it and cutting songs.

yeah, I wasn't there, but by judging by talking to people who were there, plus social media, it seems everyone expected 6:30 and the 8 pm start really got the old fans tired.....can't be doing that to a bunch of 40, 50, 60 year olds!

Probably. I was a little frustrated by the time 8 rolled around...

Did people really think they'd start before 8? They never start before 8.

From my experience they usually start an hour after the listed time. With the curfew at 10:30 I was hoping they'd start at 7 or 7:15. When they didn't I was sure it would be 7:30. When 7:45 rolled around I was stunned and very frustrated by 7:50.

And it was right to be frustrated because that Encore 2 was so lame after a great Encore 1.

3 songs only, their two most overplayed ones, and one that is underplayed for a reason. I don't mind Alive or Rockin in the Free World I just wanted more songs beyond that.
