Fanviews: Exaggerated Show Durations

Just something I've noticed about fanviews I've read (on a number of websites) for the various shows on the tour. Initial reviews will say something like "great 3 (or 3+) hour show," but as more and more reviews are added to the thread for the same show, you see comments like, "great 3 and a half ..." - "great 3 hour 45 minute show."
I know that the band's set list and show durations (obviously) vary from show to show, but these are reviews for the SAME show. When everything is said and done, the band's played a four hour show and there's been a Bigfoot sighting on stage.
Just something I find interesting and a bit funny (albeit endearingly so).
By the way, I loved the two L.A. shows. Ten of the greatest hours of my life.

Pretty sure the State College and Spectrum shows were the longest they ever played.

'12- MIA; DeLuna '13- Wrigley; Pitt; Brooklyn 1-2; Philly 1-2; Baltimore; Seattle
'14- Denver '16- Philly 1-2; MSG 2
'17- Pilgrimage Music Fest (Eddie)
'18- Fenway
While this may be true, the band really has been playing 3 hour shows each night. All three shows I saw were right at 3 hours each.
Oakland, honestly was 3 and 1/2 hours. I was following the setlist thread and they started at 8:30 and ended at 11:50-11:55, which is right at about 3 and 1/2 hours.
Yea some people do exaggerate, but Oakland was alot longer than usual.

I dig the enthusiasm; just find the gradual exaggeration a bit humorous.

I know for fact there was a Bigfoot sighting in Hartford. I'm pretty sure it was purple too.

how long were the brooklyn and philly shows? thanks
Interesting, of the shows on my ipod right now, Wrigley clocks in at 176 mins, Worcester 2 at 173, Philly 2 at 177, and Phoenix at 183 minutes.
"...I changed by not changing at all..."
Haha. Was thinking the same thing during Worcester 1 yesterday. Starting late in the main set til the end, he talks for 2-3 minutes after all most every song. It gets tiring after a while.
I like a few stories but not so many. And we could do without some of the ahs, hmms, & ummms...

If this was your attempt at sarcasm then you've failed miserably :fp:
If that's your opinion for real than you are very rude :nono:
A lot of people love Ed's ramblings. Maybe shows are not for you? Listen to a CD or something :roll:
