Flying down tomorrow from Sacramento. I hope to hear Leatherman, Leaving Here and Rearviewmirrow.
And I'm not living this life without you, I'm selfish and clear
And you're not leaving here without me, I don't wanna be without
My best... friend. Wake up, to see you could have it all
Well as usual -- set lists getting better and better -- but I dunno.
In a kinda sorta way -- tonight LA4 is the "2nd to last nite" of this west coast side of the tour, long interlude until philly which is really it's own thing anywho. There's always been something about "2nd to last" shows being off the hook!
But then LA is really it's own thing, playing 4 times I'm sure they're thinking to spread the love out among the shows -- and there's that 11:00 cut off for the park/citywalk. So I think SD might be a tad LONGER?
What I have noticed is that, while this is an Album Promoting tour, and yeah for all the new fans getting to hear the new songs (and I've been luvin hearin' em!) -- they are really doing an AWESOME job of peppering each show with some gems, rarities and stalwarts. These setlists have been pretty fantastic!
It's like they wanna/hafta play a lot of Backspacer, so what the heck lets just throw in: NO WAY, Long Road, Dissident, All Night, In My Tree, MFC, I Got Shit, In Hiding, Satan's Bed, Spin ... TREMOR CHRIST... HUNGER STRIKE! (Sure some of these pop up regularly year after year, but not show after show...)
I dunno -- I think we may get a pretty long show in SD, but I dunno if it's gonna have the mind-bending rarities some of these previous cities have gotten. And I hope I'm wrong.
Just be happy you'll get a sports shirt (well, the possibility of getting one) ... we got ripped for Outside Lands Festival! They had a Longhorns shirt for ACL festival!!! Nuthin for OLF!?!?!? I doth protest!
