Just saying PJ. Feel free to mix it up a bit in Hamilton and Toronto.

No need for Alive, black, corduroy, given to fly, porch, small town etc.

Those songs and boring and overplayed.

Let's mix it up boys!

    After not seeing a show since 2016, I am actually really looking forward to a couple hits and Gigaton songs. 

    If I was hitting multiple shows, I’d agree though.

    I agree. If I hadn't seen the previous 3 shows I'd be happy with anything. But still, there are way better songs out there than the songs I listed above.

    Maybe not better per se, just less played.

    Love all those songs and am never bored when they play them.

    There is not one song in their catalogue that is way better than Courderoy sorry.

    I’ve seen ween play 100 different songs over 3 nights and MMJ play 7 albums front to back over 3 nights. I wish PJ would mix it up more but the shows are still great and they’re obviously doing it for a reason. 
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    Title should read: DMB just played three nights at the Gorge - zero repeats. 

    Not exactly the same thing as comparing the setlist from different cities. 

    Just checked the previous non-Gorge DMB show with the first Gorge show and there were 6 repeats out of 20, including a cover (yeah, a cover) of Fool in the Rain.

    Jesus Christ, just don't go to the shows. Comparing PJ to DMB is fucking laughable. If they play GTF or Elderly Woman or Corduroy at every show, I'd be happy. The entitlement of the "true fan" is unmatched—you see it in the GA line—it absolutely brings out the worst in people. Y'all need to take a serious supply of chill pills.

    That's exactly what I was thinking: Those of us who get to go to multiple cities on any given tour need to appreciate a bit more that MOST of the people in the venue, that will be their only show on the tour. To expect them to not do some of the most popular songs a lot is a bit entitled.

    Also agree that there's a major difference between 3 shows in a row at one venue vs. 2 or 3 shows in different cities.  Again, so many in that audience that may be their only show. It's always good to mix in the "tried & true" with the newer and deep cuts.

    Like the third or fourth thread on the same topic the OP has started. Probably trolling. Just let it go. 🥱

    Omg knock it off. You were spoiled for 30 fucking years. Who gives a shit what Dave Matthews does? Who cares? He moved to Seattle in 2001, how many duets has he and Ed done?

    To be fair PJ played only two repeats over the two nights in London, which was great. If you are going to several shows in different cities then yes you would expect repeats of the hits.

    Plus would you rather hear repeats of PJ or endure hearing non repeats of DMB

    Could care less if DMB has 3 days of no repeats when they don’t have a single song in their catalog that’s better than the 20 most played PJ songs.

    Good musicians, but their music sucks.

    Zero repeats is very cool. But on the negative side - it’s Dave Matthews Band.

    Three nights, no repeats, and it still sounded like the same song. I saw DMB recently and I give them credit for putting on a good show.  But it all sounds the same.

    I am fine with some repeats and am of the opinion that PJ mixes it up more than most bands, while balancing that many people only get to one show.  

    That being said, we could use a little:

    RVM > Porch
    Anything > Even Flow/Alive/Crazy Mary/Small Tn 
    It’s OK > Any other Daughter tag

    It’s always interesting to see people get excited at the shows over songs I’m kind of meh about, and vice versa.  That’s why not all cars look the same I guess.

    The majority of the people at these shows are seeing them once on this tour. And likely haven't seen them in at least 4 years. Probably longer. They WANT to hear Corduroy, Small Town, Black, Alive, and other staples. The band wants the crowd energized and loud and singing along. And that's what those songs will do.
