I appreciate this review very much. It echoes a lot of what I've been feeling about this tour. I feel like in 3.0, as with many eras of ph, they have been going through waves. There are years and tours that are high points on these waves (2012, summer 2015, bakers). the in between years can go many ways, sometimes they are down years but sometimes they are years where the band is taking lots of risks to see what works. Unlike 2016, which I think we can all agree was not a great year, summer 2019 is a year of exceptional playing and tons of fun. No there has not been a single show that has blown my mind yet, but there has not been a sub par show either. the band is embarking on uncharted waters filled with these new songs and will come out of this tour/this year ready to reach a new high much like they have in the past.
