I still don't think Bonnaroo was that great of a show. Maybe the crowd was great but there's no way that setlist is so superior to every other show. They basically did the same thing in Camden and MSG 1, AND MORE! But no one says anything about that.
Best shows imo so far:
1. Hartford
2. Columbia
3. D.C.
4. MSG 2
I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

I thought it was an amazing show. I will agree on the abrupt ending but everything else was great.
anything said about abrupt end?
"WE'RE UH, WE'RE GONNA DO THIS ONE WHICH IS UH, CERTAINLY NOT A USUAL ONE, AND THEN UH, JUST TAKE A FEW MORE MINUTES, THEN UH, AND THEN WE'RE GONNA DO OUR BEST TO KEEP TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS AWAKE FR..." (cheering at intro)...
So, basically what I learned was. Dont hype a show.
Hyped shows: Bonnaroo, Camden, MSG, Mansfield
Not hyped shows: Everything else.
Best shows: Bonnaroo, Columbia, DC, Hartford
The best shows of the tour were mostly unhyped shows. MSG was probably epic, but their setlist was pretty recycled.
the most hyped shows by far were MSG

But Bonnaroo wasn't really hyped at all. Everyone was saying it was gonna be Lollapalooza '07 #2. I'll admit that setlist wise there were a few others that were better, but I'll go out on a limb and say it was the best possible set you could expect at a FESTIVAL for Christ's sake. In fact it's probably the best festival set they've ever done. That was the biggest turnout they've ever had for a headliner at Bonnaroo and and it's hard to beat that kind of feeling of 70,000 people all focused on the same thing.

I agree 100% with everything that you said.

The thing about Bonnaroo was at the time it was the only set that made our jaws drop, with the unexpected of the unexpected. Yes, Hard to Imagine is no longer going to make you shit yourself as an opener, but two Saturdays ago there was a thread where everyone did. WMA is no longer going to make you shit yourself, but when it was played at Bonnaroo, everyone here did. Same for Watchtower. Release in the encore. Who You Are and All Night were still fresh, Love Reign too. 1/2 Full. I can go on. Every other show felt a bit formulaic except for Bonnaroo. It broke the mold. I think Roo and Hartford are by far the two creams of the crop as far as setlists go.

I am glad everyone seems to have enjoyed Mansfield so far!
I hope Monday is even better.
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
