IDK if it's a spoof or not, but my buddy sent me a reddit link about a lawsuit someone's trying to put together after the debacle Saturday night. 

Good luck with that. 

Oh cripes. If you can sue for not liking a set I gotta see if the statute of limitations is up on a Maiden show I saw in 2006.

We went to the first Wilco destination event in Mexico in 2020.

They played three of the four nights with no repeats!  60 unique songs over 3 nights.

The food was amazing too!

This was my experience with My Morning Jacket's One Big Holiday. Went to the first two. The effort showed and they were just an incredible time.

I will say that the prices on these things have really ballooned over 10 years though.

Night 1

Fear Inoculum
Jambi
Forty Six and 2
Pneuma
Intolerance
The Grudge
Rosetta Stoned
Schism
Swamp Song
Ænema

Night 2

Stinkfist
The Pot
Parabola
Eulogy
Descending
Flood
Vicarious
Sober
Invincible
Lateralus

That's not my dream two sets-I'd pepper them with goodies I haven't heard before. But all those save Eulogy and Lateralus have been in the set consistently since FI got released and I reckon that would be pretty reasonable to expect something similar. Given this is an audience of die hands I'd throw in Eulogy as the holy shit moment and end with Lateralus given it's a signature song. Shame that the sets didn't get close to what people were hoping/expecting.

I’m a drummer. DC is my favorite drummer.  Why is CCT still being played? They don’t even have to pull out rarities to fulfill a no repeat 2 shows. Ridiculous but not surprised.

Yeah Danny is my favourite too but would much rather see another song than watch him exhibit 10 minutes of drum wank. Because the songs have enough wank in them to keep the drummers interested.

Junior just posted on Fourtheye and said the promoter tagged on the two unique sets part without the band knowing. So while I still reckon it was a missed opportunity the promoter cops a part of the blame here.

Promoter or not. They should WANT to play 2 diff sets for people willing to spend the money and attend. It’s literally 20 songs. Ridiculous lol.

Reason I don't need to see simultaneous tours and/or back to back shows.

Considering they changed the wording about 2 unique setlists some time ago (at least from what I read), it had crossed my mind that the comment Maynard made during N2 might have been more a jab at the promoters than the audience, but the timing couldn't have been any worse. They had that crowd in the palm of their hands before they even took the stage and drove that train right off the tracks. They f'ed that up something fierce (not that they care). 

RE: Chocolate Chip Trip - yeah, enough already. They've been playing that (or at least some version of it) for going on at least 10 years... give it a rest, especially in a 90 minute set.

Lol exactly. Promoter was trying to save them from themselves I guess. "They shouldn't have led you to believe we wouldn't repeat songs because we were definitely planning to do that." Oh well then my apologies.

I wonder if this was intended to be an annual Tool fest.  If so...that's over.

Where did it even say two unique sets. The only thing like that I saw was about Primus because of their drummer situation. I never say anything about unique sets. Just an “all inclusive” festival.
