bhillsberg Not liking this show has nothing to do with being jaded or song selection. And there are so many generalizations/assumptions in this review that are equally divisive to anything critical anyone else has already said.

Not liking a show doesn't have to equal having a bad time, "not getting it" or "doing it wrong."

It's that they played several more songs in 8 nights than they did in all of the 13 baker's dozen shows. Last night's setlist wouldn't even matter if they just played a few less songs and explored more rather than seeming like they were more worried about what to play next.

Sure, it's great that they are having fun. Furthermore, we are all blessed that they want to keep playing and rewarding us with more shows. That doesn't mean we can't be critical when they have set the bar so high...as recently as the preceding 2 nights.

Stop trying to paint someone being critical of a show, something that has always existed, as something more than it is. I for one like the diversity of reactions/opinions to shows.
