Setlists and a double-edged sword.
It seems the only way the band can actually make sure every fan gets equal billing is to play the same set every night.
I'll all for critiquing what they do, but reading all of the posts about the setlists in each "official" show thread made me realize the more the band do, the more they have to continue to do to stay on everyone's best side. A lot of of us here aren't the biggest fan of Lost Highway, but yet the band play their songs and it's like: "Why are they playing these?" I know it's not what each of us would do, but we don't know how to do this better the Jon or the band. I mean, if so, we'd be doing more with our musical aspirations than rocking out the Drycounty.com boards. Some of us are, for sure, so I'm not insulting anyone, just making an observation that most of us, including me, think often that we'd have done it differently. I think the band has changed and varied the setlist more than ever before here lately, but we still have many thinking it's not good enough.
Anyways, just ranting. I am still most stoked about Let It Rock's return!
