    Only 6 DM and the rest of the set filled with hits. On paper this is about as boring of a setlist as I’ve seen
    First time here in 14 years. It was anything but boring. I loved every second of it and meant the world to me.
    I’m glad you loved it!  I’m sure it was a blast being there.

    They played a greatest hits set because the majority of people there were casual fans. The crowd was absolutely buzzing about the set list, all I could hear on the way out was people gushing about how they heard Jeremy and Black etc.

    PJ gave the crowd exactly what they wanted tonight, and they still played over half of the new album. No complaints from me. 
    I wasn’t there but this is what I was feeling when I saw the set. The right set for the right crowd. Hope everyone had a blast. 
    I know a lot of folks are tired of RITFW but that was one my favourite moments of the whole show. The band were cooking, the crowd was wild and it was beautiful. 
    Everyone is different. They could play RITFW at every concert I went to and I would love it. Glad you enjoyed it!

    Overall, I'm surprised more people aren't complaining about the setlist diversity. I'm the ultimate fanboy and rarely complain or say a negative word about the band or anything related to the band, however this tour just isn't that enjoyable to me. I did 6 of the leg 1 west coast shows and it seems at least half of the setlist each night had the same songs. Compare that to Austin, Chicago, Saint Paul and Fort Worth last year and about 45 of the 50 songs were different between the 2 nights. The diverse setlists keep me addicted and going back to alot of shows each tour, but I did sell my Berlin and Barcelona tickets due to the repeat setlists and may dump some more US shows if it doesn't change. Maybe it's just me, but I'm somewhat surprised there aren't more posts about the repeat setlist and lack of diversity as this almost seems like a different band. I want to go to more shows on this tour and disappointed how similar the shows are.

    The setlists definitely aren't as diverse as they used to be. I suspect it's because of the giant screen behind them. That's got to be the reason they suddenly play DTE almost every night now.
    DTE was always a top 5 most played song.  Nothing new.

    I suspect DTE is getting more consistent play because of the accompanying visuals they have on this tour, which they've never had before. Agree that it's always been a popular one tho.

    When did it not get extremly consistent play?

    They barely played it 94-96.  ;)

    Free World N2 Seattle was one of the best performances I’ve seen.  The band brought out Deep Sea Diver and the crowd was going nuts.  I know it’s tired, I know it’s a cover…but when the joint is jumpin, it’s a great song to close out a show with.

    Agreed, and so was the performance in L.A. with Deep Sea Diver, Chad Smith and Andrew Watt.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    The written setlist had Running crossed out, so it would have been 7 DM tracks. Reading the fanviews thread, it appears Ed didn't have the stamina for it.

    A few days rest hopefully does the trick. From what I read they only travelled over a few days so it could just be a case of adjusting and jet lag

    I wanna hear the entire record, its  a glorious album

    It's really great. It's lacking something in the premise of it for me (as in: I don't get it) - but love the look.

    That whole night was awesome.

    Being there I thought it was great, but upon reflection this show does not deserve 2 posters. Boring setlist I’m reality 
    This is hilarious to me. It’s like you’re satirizing yourself, but you’re actually not. Are you the same person that made a similar comment in the fanviews?

    So essentially, you thought the show was amazing…but then you looked at the setlist afterward and determined that it was a boring setlist on paper and now it is no longer worthy of being a great show. Amazing.
    I had a very good time in the moment hearing my favourite band in front of me for the first time in 6 years. But afterwards did realise a few deep cuts would’ve made my night even better, nothing too drastic just a Present Tense or Smile or something similar. In the exact moment of posting that comment that’s exactly how I felt. Up and down.

    Indeed. Haven't heard 2 songs live yet. Hopefully they will be played in Philly & Baltimore this September.

    Even less in Manchester (just the first four), though clearly two were scrapped from the setlist seemingly due to Ed not being well.
