An absolutely brutal set list. No flow, no logic, it's almost as if Jonny boy is daring people to walk out. I'm one of the few people who really love WLOL (the best song off LH by far I think, certainly the only one that achieved a true country feeling), but Jesus Christ! The third song in the set? Where is the logic?

If the bulk of your setlist is going to be post-2000, at least choose your better tracks. Yes I like the Circle, but can you really justify one of the least inspired songs in your catalog (WWBTF) being placed towards the end of the set list? Why not reprise LTOR since it was probably the only song off the Circle they figured out how to make work live? If you need to intoxicate your set with Lost Highway shit, why not throw in Any Other Day? It's pretty bad when even a song as dubious as Complicated would spice up this set list to me, because it's so bloody slow and soft and boring.

Personally I think all the new songs are abhorrently bland and boring, and I would dare to attribute the shitty sets not just to Jon being a lazy cunt, but also because they help make the new songs stand out more. They are generic-sounding and uninspired, and thus need to be buffered by more recent material so they sound "louder" than they really are. The Becuz Wii Kan tour is a train wreck in the works.
