Overall, this was a very good show. Some things were definitely unexpected, crash came out of nowhere, I was glad to hear it. Also wasn't really expecting jimi thing or the stone, but I'm definitely not complaining. Dave played a lot of everyday stuff (I really thought they would just promote that album last summer and then be mostly done with it, I guess not) but it was nice that it all sounded very un-pop, much better than the studio versions. When I saw Dave bust out the 12-string I was really hoping to JTR, but I was pretty sure he wouldn't, because he hasn't played it yet on this tour. I guess that means we probably shouldn't expect to see it on the new album. It's really a great song, and I hope it emerges as a favorite among many fans and eventually evolves into the great encore song that it has the potential to be (but that's just my opinion). I was disappointed not to hear either pig or DDTW, as they've been regulars so far this tour. Ants definitely was the highlight of the show, it's fun to see Dave and Boyd get totally crazy on stage. I thought the encore was the weakest part of the show. This is the third time I've heard rapunzel as an encore, while it was really jammed out the best it can be, I just don't think it's a good closing song. Also, they should maybe look at old set lists, there was a lot of repeats from the last cleveland show. I also think they could do a better job of sequencing. Some songs just seem so out of place at the time they're played. But what the hell am I complaing about? I just enjoyed a great show, and I was able to enjoy it in the company of my best friend, my girl, and my little bro.
