This fourth quarter trend has to be addressed at some point. It has made the difference between average-great and above average (and maybe even above average and transcendant) quite a few times over the last few years.

I really wanted to lay into it here, but it's just so darn well played it seems a bit unreasonable. But even at it's best, there a definite lack of unpredictability in the choices. I don't know that I have a better suggestion. Slave would be a massive upgrade for my ears and might actually push the set into a "best of ____" discussion. Until the band plays a second set where I can't find one of these ludicrous shortcomings I will continue to judge them as good, not great.
