Evolution was amazing picking the energy back up... and Why Go was one of the best songs of the night..place went bonkers during it...
encore 1 was strange..but solid but uneven....Yellow Moon I enjoy , and FOOTSTEPS is a fav of mine so I was pumped...BLACK..well is just my all time favorite tune..amazing version..after Black EV did an audible..Mike and Stone changed guitars like 2 times..mad confusion all around... and then..Comatose is played ?? lol..wow what a let down ..followed by... Lightning Bolt ?..very disappointing hearing those 2 during the encore.. ...
Encore 2..starts with....Light Years ? I like it but..do not want it there...in the encore...ever....but the band make up for it with a brilliant run to end the show...Better Man, Alive and Baba O'Riley ..EV then made a long speech and played I'am a Patriot (I could have done with out this)... Indifference is a classic and I love it..Ill take it at the end of every show....
Overall a fantastic night...highlights..Go , GTF , DEEP, Nothingman , Why Go BLACK and Indifference...VERY pleased with the show tonight..had a blast...
Off to Miami tomorrow.....

Originally posted by RUMMY:Glad to hear you had had a great time, Ed. I agree, there are many great tunes in there but indeed a couple of questionable ones later in the set. Just an opinion but they should stick to '90s stuff in their encores.
Enjoy tonight - and Monday!

Agree 100%...LB , Comatose and Light Years are tunes I want to avoid in the main set , so I certainly do not want them anywhere near the encore...but hey..95% was insane.......how about Help Help ? what a curveball that was....been played only 1 other time (Alpine '11) since the 2003 tour...
EV said its the first time since '96 that they played Lauderdale....crazy . Id love to know what tune was dropped for Comatose . Mike switched Gibson's up at least 2 times , as did Stone..Mike even left the stage briefly to help find the right Gibson....pretty confusing moments there , and to play Comatose ? I was like c'mon man really lol
Go opening took me by surprise ....loved it.. MYM , Corduroy , GTF , Help Help (weird place for it , I would have liked Animal and or Last Exit there) then DEEP was a pretty amazing opening run.
Black , FOOTSTEPS (!!!!!!!) , Nothingman and Indifference are my favorites from back in the day....so no complaints here.....
Lauderdale and Miami are only 28 miles apart..so I think its safe to say the band will be treating this a s a 2 night stand...
....maybe tonight is a more chilled opening ....Release into Oceans ?

I actually love Light Years anywhere in the set. Nothing was dropped Besides life wasted to start the second encore. I texted you the stage set lol
