Very good review, glad someone mentioned that they're playing venues outside of the Northeast that aren't realistic in terms of their fanbase. I haven't been able to travel to see them for a while due to job/money issues, so I have to be content to see them at the Inglewood Forum here in Los Angeles. They can sell out the floor there, but the seating is half-empty every time. It would make more sense that they play the Greek Theater (6,200 capacity) for a couple of nights instead.

Ah yes, the setlists. As someone who has zero interest in the "OMG! I hope they play a 25 minute version of some song with lots of Type II improv!!!!" thing, I want to hear songs, lots of them, even as I listen on headphones here at work. However, where to place songs seems to be a knack they've lost, the placement of ballads especially is weird.

Very curious about what the musical costume is going to be this year........
