bl002e Excellent review, @andrewrose! I had a far more positive reaction to the show. The pacing was sluggish at times (even for 2019), and there's some slop to be had, but to me those were significantly outweighed by the playfulness, song selection, and jam sections of the night. This one's still easily my favorite of the five shows from a somewhat underwhelming tour thus far. Some of these comments, on the other hand -- truly embarrassing to read. What kind of insecure child insults the author of a well-written and nuanced review, simply because they don't share the same opinion?

Here's how to express dissent like a functioning adult:

@secrets_meow said: "it's so weird as to my ears they were more 'on' and less 'choppy' than like all 2019 combined (both sets) -- these reviews rarely talk about phrasing and tone color and trey's phrasing the last two nights have been far less 'return to the tonic' and far more colorful ... it really is wild how people seem to hear totally different shows -- first set was a blast and was so tight and was by far the best horn of the 3.0 era lol"

Here's how to respond if you have absolutely no ability to interact in a respectful way with someone you disagree with:

"Worst. Review. Ever."

"Time to move on to a different scene altogether"

"Just don't come reviewing here again as anything close to definitive"

"Your review is legit trash. I'm sorry, it's not a matter of opinion, just the fact that you're a jaded old (boomer?) vet and you can't handle anything other than what you want the band to do. Stop writing for this site. It no longer becomes you. Not by a long shot."

"The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!"

"this is absolute garbage and to be honest is the first review that has made me want to write a response in over 20 years"
