Thanks for the acknowledgement Seb, even if it was a slam, LOL.
I'm actually surprised by the tlfr stuff getting pulled out. I said back during the US arena tour that while I liked these songs done this way in an arena, there was an intimacy to them in a crowd of merely 15,000- 20,000, that I didn't see them coming off well in a stadium, and obviously I was right. Don't know why the band chose this , unless it was just to do things different. Not the best setlist i've seen in Europe, and while I'm personally cool with seven or eight songs from HAND, I can see it being too many for a stadium show.
I was estatic to see Dry County get pulled out of thecloset at the beginning of the European tour but was afraid of exactly what it happening now, every time a diehard fans "gem" isn't pulled out at a show for whatever reason, that show somehow becomes substandard, no matter how well Jon sings and performs or how tight the band sounds or how well they play.
