Shake Me = Pig
Seven = You Never Know
Save Me = Drive In Drive Out
i did leave in the acoustic sets although there are no changes in them, just to allow the full effect. i don't know! it's hard to believe but it is often the smallest changes that bring something from disappointing to incredible!

I mean no offense, because I know you spent a lot of time on this, but if you replace 3-4 of the most disliked songs at every show with 3-4 of the best songs the band has in its catalog, it's obviously going to make it an incredible show.
The biggest problem with these setlists is the predictability and staleness of songs like Shake Me, Seven, BBN, etc and then the predictable ending runs with the LL. On any given the night, the acoustic sets can be incredible and even the opening runs (Warehouse, Minarets, Nancies, #41, etc.) have been pretty solid. But yes, the shows would obviously be infinitely better if we take out the songs that are largely disliked and replace them with some of the best ones the band has ever done...
