So many cities won’t get to experience Dark Matter in all it’s glory. That’s a bummer!! I hope they don't shelve it as hard as they did for Gigaton this run.
How hard did they shove Lightning Bolt songs this past year or so?
They really should copy Metallica's no repeat concept. There's no reason for songs to be played twice in the same night. Take the "new album heavy rotation" songs and divide them.
We know Even Flow gets that traditional spot because it's a bit of a break for the band...but they also have RVM, Porch and probably other places for Mike to do a thing.

They definitely have enough hits not to repeat anything in the same city.
This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

I get the sentiment, but I personally have no problem knowing I'm getting Alive, one of RVM or Porch, and a >50% chance at Even Flow.

It would be cool to spice it up a little and move Alive to the main set like the old days instead of the encore staple it’s become.
Also. Maybe close the main set with Evenfow every once in a while? Move porch around to different spots in the set list.
For me, I don’t mind these songs being played every night. It’s the predictably of when they are played that getting stale.

Totally agree. MSG 22 had Porch 4th song and it honestly hit different there.
Of course it was then immediately apparent we were getting RVM 😉 (no complaints, RVM is a personal fave, but it was immediately predictable)

All of Ten is stale for me. Except Release as an opener. Other than that, retire the songs and play more Binaural you pussies.

The band is firing on all cylinders! It sucks we are only getting eleven shows this year.
The band has played something like 50 shows in the last 13 months. They deserve the break. These shorter runs means they could tour longer.
imagine working only 50 days in 13 months and needing a break? lol. i'm sure they would be 100% refreshed and recharged after taking a break for 3 or 4 months. bring on september and october shows!!!
