    Jesus...I forgot they played 41 songs to close out the Spectrum. Holy shit. Let's hope they work their way up to 25 or 26 at least.

    Yeah, I mean closing out the Spectrum is an exception. But my stance is this is a super bummer and disappointing. Will I have a fucking blast come the 14th? Absolutely. But if this keeps up then they're no longer 'That Band' to me imo.

    Basically they've cut out the 1st encore, and are running shows in length ala 1998. Huge bummer.

    Yeah not quite '98. Looks like they averaged around 25-26 or so back then. If they squeeze out an extra few songs to get to that number, I'll be fine. They are getting older.

    .....(takes a deep breath, pushes back bridge of nerd glasses preparing for Nerd Mode)....

    Or whatever it was - just making a point that this is their shortest sets in 25 years. I'm giving them a mulligan for 2022. And I'm not getting my hopes up for 25 songs. No question they're older, but these vegans aren't yet 60. Just a bummer it's so sudden - when people bought tix in 2019 I think it was under the assumption of the usual show (~26,27-ish songs minimum, 3 sets - main, 1st enc, 2nd enc). Of course there's a New Normal, but unless they got Long Covid I don't see the reason for the scaling back.

    I don't even think they've played a full-blown tour in a decade (which is crazy to think) - I don't think a "tour" has been more than like 15 shows at a time.

    Again, giving them a mulligan for this year. But if this is the way it goes going forward then I'll hit a Philly show, but no need to hit more than one show imo. And I don't even think it's the length that's the biggest bummer. It's the unoriginal, generic regurgitation of the last 1/3 of the set/ending of a show. Very cool that they busted out Other Side, and that they did the sitdown set, but between the shorter sets and the same endings to shows it's all just a bummer. And, yes, that's more on me than anything - just going to take some getting used to and adjusting as such. Which was going to happen at some point anyway, I guess.

    I'll be having a blast on the 14th, because these things will be like reunions going forward. Just a bummer for now.

    I will still be surprised if places like Philly and NY only get 21 or 22 songs though.

    They have been doing these sorta 3-week jaunts for quite a while now, which I believe is to not be away from their families for extended periods of time. Nothing wrong with that. But yeah I have found the 2022 setlists to be underwhelming. Whatever, when they play RVM I'll go crazy as usual.

    You guys have that Party Bus all secured for the Camden show?
    I've had zero involvement with any logistics there - CLIIIIIFFFFFFF
    Locking it in. Been a fucked up week and the wife was trying to get a discount on something through work but no go, so going party bus. I’ll shoot you a note

    Yeah mans. Or if it's a big headache to lock down the bus then don't worry about it. There's always the ferry.

    So by my math they should be at 27 songs by the time they get here, yes?

    Still not sure what the hell i'm doing for the show next week. Is there a pre-party anywhere? I know some people are meeting up in the city, I might do that. How is everyone getting there/parking? Still debating if I should drive to Camden or just take the ferry over or maybe just get a ride with someone.

    The Hamilton setlist kicked ass. I would take that in a heartbeat.

    Absolutely. We're up to 25 songs and 2 hours 15 minutes. No way they play more songs and for longer time at fucking Hamilton than Philly or NY. 

    Trending in the right direction!

    Also would like to say that Jean Segura has been both a joy and thorn in my side over the course of his career here, but overall I'll say he's totally worth it and will suck when he's gone. He's been a big clutch player with a spark. I gotta think the team option at $17M for next year they're not going to exercise, so hopefully, maybe they can re-work that into something more affordable. At the same time I think they're legitimately going after Turner or Correa in the offseason, so I guess we'll see. Regardless, he was a total win in the trade to move on from Crawford at such an early point in JP's career.

    I NEED this playoff game. Just one goddamn game back here in this park. Would be suuuuper disappointing if they don't make it at this point.
