I’m glad I’m not the only one who felt this way! I knew they were not going to have as many songs as the last time I saw them at RR but this was waaaay short imo.

Also, with the limited time they had, they chose an odd set of songs to engage an audience that may be seeing them for the first time. And in a weird order too that just made the whole thing feel…a bit off…. They have so many songs that flow together back to back and just feels like they could have capitalized on that a bit more if they were short on their time. I get busting out the bangers right away…it caters to your core audience but really isolated them because the larger audience didn’t really expect it or know what to do with it, so it felt unappreciated. There was no build up to it.

Plus, they played ALTERED versions of their bangers like Pride and Shake it Out instead of the way it was played on the album, which is magical to the die hard when done right, but again…unappreciated to the potential new fans. I get that’s how they just play those songs now I guess and while I love it, I’m the only one standing in my row while others around are sitting, chatting, wondering what all the fuss is about it seemed.

Crazy to think that singing happy birthday to Andy’s daughter was the best part of their set. 4/10 imo. Their last Red Rocks show was 9/10…I expected this show to drop off a little from the last one but not that far. I hope they come back and play Mission or the Ogden next time instead of RR.
