Every time I start to think they mail it in, I see a show like Camden. I keep saying it, but when Ed and the band are playing live, there is really no other place on the planet I would rather be.0 -
Enjoy them while they are here.
i wish i wish i wish i wish, i guess it never stops0 -
3 shows
60 different songs played
with a handful a repeats each night
6 shows left
Will they keep this up through the whole tour?

You'll never convince me that shorter set lists are better, and their peak for me will always be 2013 - 2016... having said that, I had zero problems w/ 24 songs each night in St Paul. The shows were awesome and if shorter sets means they can tour more in the coming years, I'm all for it.0

Last nights show length was perfect.0

Yeah it was. Maybe it's because it was a Tuesday night after a long weekend and maybe it's because I'm getting old but 2:30 and getting out before midnight was great. Still a little slow this morning, however.0

Nah the peak was 1998-2003. Some might say it was earlier. Just glad they still play.

I imagine the peak must have been 1995 playing with Neil Young.

A bit more polished and organized yes. But the 2000 and 2003 tours were my favorites. And to be fair, they blew me away again in Camden 2022.0 -
You’ll see a 3+hour set if there’s not an opening act. Any show with an opener you can expect a 2-2:15 min set.0

I think that has changed. A 3 hr set will be a rarity now.0 -

They have had lots of openers. I guess, without knowing, that Taylor Hawkins death had something to do with the shorter sets. 100% speculation.

To each his own, It's all subjective of course, but I'll take a 2013 show over pretty much any other year I've seen them.
& yeah, the two shows in St Paul last week did nothing to dissuade me from trying to see them again. The show may only be 75% as long as what I considered to be their peak, but they were fantastic nonetheless.
(& In fairness, they might have been a better live act in '92 or '94, I have no frame of reference... '98 was the first time I saw them)0 -
