    ^Totally agree

    He had a pretty wild year and you never know how that will play out artistically but post-Southeastern his simpler low tempo stuff hasn't really grabbed me

    It’s good. Not sure how much I’ll be listening to it in 6 months though. 
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    Alright, gave it another run through with a proper listen. It's a good album.

    I’m interested in the 400U tour to start up next month. I’d like to hear some full band arrangements

    Just finished my second listen. Another amazing album from him. Can’t wait to see him and the full band in Edmonton in May. Hope the songs get a full band treatment!

    Loving the new album. I also got his recent live show on Veeps. He plays 8 songs off the new album, along with some other 400 Unit songs. Well worth the $15 price tag.

    Saw them tonight in Nashville Indiana. The new songs sound really good with the whole band and the fill in bass player was solid.

    I saw him in Savannah last week, my wife and I traveled for the show. I did enjoy the full band takes on the new songs, but I didn't love the bluegrassy Bury Me, I think I'd prefer that one to have been done solo. The rest of the setlist was standard. I have griped over it 100x but I wish he would mix it up, I had heard everything else he played multiple times, nothing new. Only one song (Vampires) was played across all albums from SMTF to Reunions.

    Yeah, it’s frustrating. I saw Jason 3 times a couple of weeks ago and then saw MMJ 3 times the next weekend. Night and day in terms of variety and mixing up set lists. 
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    Other than laziness, I don't know why the majority of the live acts don't switch it up more. Make it more interesting

    They want to put on a good show consistently. More people than not are casual fans and they want to sell the new record and play “the hits”. 

    I get it and it makes sense. I would prefer more deep cuts or varied setlists, but I realize I’m in the 5% who pay attention to setlists and who maybe go to more than one show every year.

    I think it's better to look at it 180. It takes a high level of proficiency to have most of your catalog ready to go and craft a unique set each night. The old Pearl Jam model and current My Morning Jacket model, for example, are just elite tier live shows. It's even more impressive than jam bands imo because it's a much lower percent of improvised performance. 

    And like TS is saying many bands may be a slave to their hits.
