Did Ed also talk for 20 minutes at this show? US shows were getting near 30 minutes of the set wasted with pointless banter about someone who passed away or some actor friend. 

You don't want to hear 5 minutes on what a great guy Bill Murray is (and how those allegations can't be true)?

Nope. Love the stories about how he wrote songs or some dream or political discourse but sorry if I give zero fucks about hollywood.

I’d guess there are a few things at play regarding the shorter sets.  Ed seemed to struggle the first few shows in 2018, London 2 had to get postponed, and I thought he was pretty rough the remainder of the tour.  3.5 years off, and older likely has something to do with it, along with a relatively busy itinerary.
It should be noted as well that the 2018 shows were shorter as a whole than the 2016 shows, and many of the 2016 shows were shorter than the 2013/2014 shows.  

2013/14 to 2016 was little to no change in average setlist length. Maybe a 2-3 song dropoff from 2016 to 2018.  Now we're talking like 8-9 songs less.  

Like I said, I hope at some point they can discuss the decision making process. Would be fascinating to hear. Who's idea was it? Did anybody oppose?

I’d love to hear this but we know it'll
never happen.

Keep in mind at least 3 of them had Covid this year.  Months after the infection a lot of people are still fatigued from it.  And these guys are in their fifties which is on the cusp of the age when it takes longer to recover.  Jeff and Matt are only a few weeks out.  That they can play a two hour show already is pretty impressive.  It’s possible the shows will get longer as their recovery continues.  After years of no shows I’m certainly not going to complain that the shows are too short.  

Yeah but the 3 ohana shows were the same length... No covid 

They were festivals though.  And they were great.  Especially the Encore Friday.

Despite the shorter set, that Friday Encore show was one of the best times I’ve had at a PJ show. Band sounded great, crowd was great, and beautiful location. I hope they do another double feature PJ Ohana weekend at some point.

Eddie asked me to stop crowd surfong to a dude. It's not a good song for that(NOTHING AN) . I love your shirt tho
WE HAVE OTHER  SONGS TO DO THAT. LOL

That was really funny...I was like, why is this guy crowd surfing to this song? And that's when Ed pointed out that it's a romantic song and not the right moment for crowd surfing. I had to laugh so much...
