So what about the 2009 tour? Aside from the classic four Philly shows and the four not-as-popular-but-just-as-good Universal City shows what are your thoughts on these sets of shows (NAm, Europe and Aust)? Although is was a relatively short tour, they seemed to play a great deal of their back-catalogue - even more so than in 2010 and 2011. Just the usual suspects (Who You Are and WMA - oh, and Around The Bend) were the only songs not played from the first five albums. Only Riot Act seemed to get short changed.
2009 was solid, but as you pointed out,short.The 4 Philly gigs and the 4 LA shows,IMO,were the best gigs.Melbourne, 11.20.09, is simply a classic gig.Alot from 10,Oceans played midset for a change.
The 2003 N.American tour June/July has many a great show.San Diego 06.05,Chicago 06.18,East Troy 06.21,Detroit 06.25 and 26,Toronto 06.28 and Montreal 06.29.These are the top gigs from June, that are MUST HAVE IMO...I have a couple of nice setlists Matt.One is 2 Nights In Canada (I left out the Vancouver gig).The other is June 2003.When I get a chance,I will deff list them.
I would definitely like to see that Canadian tour list. Also, I think I'll get around to making a June/July 2003 mix (I finished that 2000 mix less than a week a go and I'm bored already - I'll say it one more/last time: I have a problem). It'll have to have fewer covers than the 2000 mix to make room for the 15 Riot Act songs. I'll still, as per usual, have to keep all the classics but may have to sacrifice many Binaural tracks, as well as a few from No Code. Rule: If the song was from one of the first three albums and was played on the tour, it makes my mix.
