Set One - Awesome. Will see that in a heartbeat. Set two - would love to see SFAM. Encore - Ruined it.
Set one’s problem is length. Should be a bit longer to fit in some classic songs (didn’t they say there’d be “classic” tunes. Kinda count the two songs from pre-D/T as deep cuts.). Another problem, the top two songs on this album after PBD were completely unplayed.
My issue lies in the fact that certain key elements of the shows were cut short. Usually, with the MM shows, you always get the extended guitar solo, a keyboard solo and a drum solo. The only one of these that can be fully accounted for on this setlist is the guitar solo which would be in Through Her Eyes. I don’t see the room for a keyboard solo, nor the drum solo outside of being embedded in Pale Blue Dot.
At Wit’s End would’ve been the perfect song for an extended solo for JP. S2N would’ve been great for a bass solo intro and keyboard solo outro. I don’t know where MM really can solo though.
I’m looking forward to seeing what can be brought by the rotating setlists. On to tomorrow’s show.
