Still hard to swallow that the show is almost over
135 minutes in QC. There is no short set problem. The ridiculous 35 song sets are over because MC and EV are too old to do that at full quality, and have been for 10 years. The quality has been better after the pandemic. They are more focused.

Did anyone ever say what happened to Dimi? Did he maybe get a job and have to go to work like the rest of us instead of being able to travel the world and see every single show? I never understood how all those deadheads traveled the country and went to every show. what was their source of income? I wondered the same thing about Dimi. Nothing against the guy or anything. The Greek economy stinks. I just wish I had the opportunity to do the same thing.
Dimi has always worked. Nights as well. Most people ive met that travel have no kids therefore can spend on what they like. Love to dimi where ever he is Life happens to everyone

Yes, I know that. But it didn't become 23 songs because they are lazy and went to 90 min shows. They made a conscious decision to focus, slow down the tempo, and put on the highest quality show possible. The days of appeasing the setlist box checkers are over, and they never sounded better for it. They literally got their groove back.
Most fun I've had at a show, might not the best...buts it's damn fine. Ed is hurtimg, back or leg.
Ed is hurt?? 🫢 Oh God I sincerely hope not cause I'm seeing them in Hamilton on Tues. 🙏
We kinda blew right past this here. All okay?

I don’t ever remember quality being an issue when they played full shows before
They played everything at 1.5x speed to get as many songs on the setlist as possible. Listen to GTF this tour vs the past when Matt rushes that beautiful Jack Irons drum part. Matt fixed all the songs by finally learning the original way of playing the catalogue during the pandemic. By Matt fixing that, he fixed Jeff. Now Jeff can play with feel and groove instead of just trying to keep up with Matt and Ed. They sound better than ever. The setlist doesn't even matter again, like the old days.
If they just took some of the jams out of some songs like corduroy, and shortened other jams, they could easily add 2-3 songs in the same total set length.
