I'm starting to have doubts about the no repeats. Wondering if instead they'll opt for no-repeats between the mini-runs within the larger whole. The blocks broken-up by the days off, as it were.

I'm still floored that they're even attempting this theme with the flavour-covers each night, and it adds such a fun layer of speculation. Would have loved to see the VU stuff. And I can't wait to learn which flavours they have in store for the three doughnuts lined up at the end of the run.

The thing I appreciate most, though? That they're taking a least one (often unexpected) song in the first set out for a walk. The Caspian, Moma, It's Ice (which has in fact been a vehicle for exploration going back it's earliest days) ... it makes for a much more interesting front to back show experience, imo. Plus it allows the shorter more standard offerings more opportunity to shine when they're not stacked up a baker's dozen deep themselves in one set.
