I’m not crazy about Gigaton but it’s 25% of the setlist this tour.  I’ve only listened to the album once so maybe it grows on you?

    I’m with you on this one. I’m not a fan of the album like most on here are but I trust that I’ll enjoy the songs enough live. Hope so if a large portion of the show is dedicated to them.

    It’s my least favourite album they’ve put out, but I’m still looking forward to hearing the songs live.

     I wouldn’t mind a few Earthling covers though, to cross promote Ed’s  album. I listen
    to that more than Gigaton at this moment. Gigaton was a long time ago….

    I still love Gigaton (Buckle Up is questionable) and can’t wait to see the songs live.

    I thought the Gigaton stuff sounded great. Probably the overall highlights of the San Diego show

    Agreed. If they're gonna cut back, the covers is the place to do it.

    I looked around me when Buckle Up started and saw the exact mixed reactions that song seems to inspire: some people promptly sat down; others were stoked. Made me chuckle.

    I like Gigaton a lot more than most post-2000 pj albums. That being said, if sets are “only” going to be 22-25 songs, I think 5 or 6 songs off it max would be right amount. 

    On another note, I think the shorter set lists probably means no 'album shows' this tour.

    Honestly I think we're done with the album shows entirely unless they decide to do the newer records. If they were gonna do Vitalogy or Riot Act they would have already, and they haven't made any indication that they're gonna be repeating any of them

    The set lists so far are really disappointing.  I bought tix for Amsterdam over a year ago when there was no US tour scheduled and they’ve rescheduled twice. Unfortunately when you buy tickets on Viagogo you can’t get a refund unless tour is cancelled.  Ironically, the cost to fly to Amsterdam is the same as going to California.    The fees on all these sites are so ridiculous that it’s very difficult to recoup your cost.

    I agree on the covers though they do a great job on Baba O Reilly.  I guess I’ll give Gigaton some more listens.

    I may be imagining this, but it seems like Ed is putting in extra physical effort on the Gigaton songs.

    If I recall correctly, the setlists for Euro 2018 started out short but gradually increased in number of songs as the tour progressed.

    At least I think that was the case. I’d better go look that up.

    I enjoyed Buckle Up at Ohana Encore. Maybe I am just one of the weird ones.  🤷‍♂️

    I might be the only person in the world who is neutral: it's fine; not my favorite, but not terrible. I have now heard it the only two times it's been performed live!

    On a second listen of Gigaton, I find the latter part of the album much better.  Ironically the tracks I like the least are the ones they released initially.

    Buckle up is right down there with evacuation and sweet lew. I have no idea what they were thinking with that inclusion.
