I adore Jack, but his setlists are still too short.
I am looking forward to seeing him on this leg, but am trying to mentally prepare for it to go by way too fast. Hope to be blown away because 17 songs and under an hour and a half feels hard to swallow.
I also haven’t seen him since the White Stripes in 2005 though and if I remember right, they only played about 1.5 hrs then also. He ripped hard with barely a breath between songs though and covered a lot of material.
if Ed would shut up PJ shows would be 1.5 hours. LOL

Think of how much you paid for a ticket twenty years ago though lol
I think an hour and a half is a sweet spot. Ever been to a punk show? 45 songs, 90 minutes or less. haha. and you feel DRAINED. I would imagine JW's shows are high energy, and anything more would be exhausting.

I don’t think I would ever vote for less music at a concert.

I know what you're saying. But sometimes...SOMETIMES...if it's been high energy the entire show, and the artist is spent, and they've felt it from the crowd, going out on a high note is the best way to go out.

I've been to a couple of the PJ shows that were over 3 hours long, and I thought that was too long because a bunch of people left before they were over, and others were just dead because they were so tired. Concerts can definitely be too long IMO. I'm okay with a great show that is 1.5 hours. Two hours is perfect. Anything over 2.5 hours is getting too long.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
