Las Vegas Night 1 and 2 Roll Call

After walking by the merch line at 1130 to see 200 people, then looking again at 130 to see at least an extra 100 people. Not waiting to much fun to be had.  Plan was to try during the first run of new songs.  For those going Saturday, it is the way to do it.  The inside merch was five lines wide, and about  4 people deep in line.  Got to the front in 5 minutes.  Was not able to get Vegas Show TShirt, but got Key Chains Stickers, an unneeded tshirt and the 2 hoodies I was sent to get.  And they had posters still available.  Don't waste 3+ hours in the sun.  Good luck on Saturday......Enjoy the show, last night was amazing

N1 setlist is terrific.

Going N2 and the songs I had on my wishlist that I now know won’t be played:

tremor christ
hail hail

And the ones not likely to be played that I was looking forward to:

upper hand 
waiting for stevie
corduroy (not sure when or why or how but it has morphed into the 1 song I want to hear at every concert)!


Hoping N2 has an equally amazing setlist. 

When are you heading out?  We may be on the same plane out of Cincy

Ended up booking direct out of Indy.  I love direct flights.  Safe Travels and enjoy the show!  If you are a bearcat, I'll buy you a drink

Yeah - I hear you on the Indy Flights - Flying out of there next Sunday for the Seattle show on the 28th.  UC Season Tic holder for almost 20 years

Bad: just a quick playing of the opening chords. Maybe 20 seconds. Then Corduroy. 

That was so cool wish they would have played it all

Yeah that's a hell of a set last night.  Was really hoping to hear Stevie as well for N2.  No Got to Give so feel good about that for N2.  Heading to the airport in a bit....enjoy the show!

You walked out of the live performance so that you could go buy merch? Sigh. You're doing it wrong.

Even Flow is the perfect length for buying merch

Often times you can get merch and a bathroom stop during even flow.

We went to Emeril's New Orleans Fish House in the MGM Grand before the show - our first time there - and it was really good.  And for the strip really wasn't that expensive. Really pleasantly surprised and would recommend as a great pre-show option. Was nice to have a reservation so no waiting and then a quick walk to the venue.

Missing 2 new songs for 10 minutes or waiting over 3 hours in the sun.  I guess we all can think differently.  I have seen them over 50 times and will see them 3 more times later this year.....10 minutes 2 songs is a drop in the bucket.

It really depends on an individual’s priorities.  I don’t think there’s a right and a wrong.  Personally I would neither wait in the sun nor miss one minute of the show to buy the overpriced stuff but that’s just my personal opinion too.
