Not changing the arrangements of (most of) the songs over all these years. They play 'em faster, but otherwise most are played pretty much the same way they've always been. For a band that changes up its setlists, they really play it safe when it comes to arrangements/improvisation. Now more than ever. Add to that not changing their core cover songs -- RITFW, Baba, etc. I generally leave every live show after the first encore because encore 2 is typically something I've already seen many, many times before.

I'm glad they do it this way. If they were doing the "heritage act" thing and playing medleys of their "hits," for example, it'd be super lame.

I think this was meant more in the "Bridge School Corduroy" kind of way.

I wish boom played drums, come to think of it.

Ed played the toms on the studio version of Unthought Known.

he was really the only drummer that contributed to their sound, not like that no-talent pos matt

that's all the evidence anyone would need

think he'd include a lot of hand claps and audience participation? i'm dying to be an ipso facto drummer for them myself.
