i had paella in barcelona at some place recommended by the NYTimes and it was underwhelming

i think my problem is i like italian risotto

when i bite in i am expecting garlic and salt

instead it just tastes bland and flat

even though there ingredients visually that look like they should pop with flavor

it just comes out flat

i do love spanish cured meats and other tapas things

paella just seems to fall flat

i stopped ordering it

i am divorced from paella atm

Don't give up on it though.

24 songs ?

That’s gotta be the shortest in a while.

it’s not the length of the setlist that matters, it’s how you use it

No, it's longer than the previous show in Manchester (23 songs).

They've played 25 songs at most shows this tour, occasionally 24 or 26.

They try to play Habit once every few years and it's a disaster every time. I don't think they've played a passable version in 15 years or more. It was tuned down to subterranean levels when they tried it last time and that didn't help either. I live in hope they finally nailed it but I have doubts.

Does this mean Setting Sun has finished its run closing out shows? Since the end of the first US leg, it's only been played earlier in the encore.

Sounds like the crowd was fine again at this show. Once again, the ticket sales stuff is overblown.
