User_25940_ Never feel bad about having an opinion. There's nothing like great art to divide us all. No one can really ever claim what the best is by themselves. It takes years of retrospection to find any kind of consensus for something that we could maybe, most of us, agree was the 'greatest'. We don't have that context now. What I will say is these guys are all hitting their 50's and don't have the energy they may have had when younger to play 9 hours of amazing music without a break. This tour and Summer I think we see a clear trend which is that they don't waste too much of their creative energy in the 1st sets. Yet as a unit they are so tight now that it's really hard to go top a show and not love what they are doing there anyways. But consistently, on this tour in particular, they are pulling no punches in 2nd sets. At almost every show this tour they have done some version of a fan favorite that 100 people will say the next day it was their all-time favorite. They are just killing the 2nd sets (or in last night's case, the 3rd). That's just my take on this tour. I think it will go down as one of the finest, most consistent, tours to be a part of.
