uctweezer Well written and a fair assessment @pzerbo. I get it that the band can't catch lightning in a bottle every night -- without below average shows, there can't be above average shows -- but the one thing the band can always control is song selection and I was a little disappointed that they opted to replay a few songs so soon into the tour. Blaze On I get -- they *should* be playing the new material every chance they get -- but WAN in back-to-back shows is baffling, and even Free and 46 Days (the latter about which I will not complain) played at Shoreline just seemed like a lapse in judgment. I'm guessing that due to the heat, the band was physically uncomfortable, and due to their discomfort, they decided to stick to songs with which they felt comfortable, having played them so recently. All that said, the first half hour of the second set *is* worth hearing, and I expect this show to be a distant memory after tonight as they equilibrate to the heat and have a wide selection of great tunes from which to pull tonight's setlist.
