It is difficult to put my finger on it and I believe it is not just one thing, but rather a sum of things that seem to have weakened the dynamic of tour. My hope is the band/tour figure out how to fix it and strengthen the show as they work their way across the country.
I am also hoping to hear about other fans' impressions of the show. I've written a piece about it on my fan blog and it is in multiple parts. But I am hoping to learn about other shows to see if fans are experiencing the same thing.
Please take a read if your are interested.
