    I really don't see that jumping up to 28-30 when they get back stateside.



    I doubt there will be breaks though (and am sure there won't be openers.)
    Agree with this. We might see the occasional show jump up closer to 30 but doubtful most will.

    I think it's a damn shame they don't bring out openers anymore. I loved that. Although I also love drinking in the lots

    Re: 2017 D&T set breaks

    Just to set the record straight I've been to hundreds of UK/European shows over the years (I'm English) and set breaks isn't a European thing. This is the first time I've ever been to music show with a break in the middle. It didn't really impact the ambience either way to be honest probably because Dave does more singing than a band show he needs a rest when doing more than a couple of shows.

    Disturbs the crowd which is a big issue for me. Reduces the flow of the show. Not for me!

    and no, no set break tonight. it was a venue-specific thing => the London venue enforces an intermission for whatever reason (people to get drinks / merch etc)

    Not sure if they've done this in the past or whatever, but for these two London D&T shows, it was a venue-enforced intermission. Probably won't happen again this tour.

    Didn't the full band take set breaks at basically all the European venues on that small tour last year?

    yeah, a guy filmed it (periscope AND audio using a rig duct taped to the balcony) and later got kicked out for punching somebody over a plectrum haha

    never seen security move so fast!

    he was also taking photos from another camera #multitasker

    in this case, it probably is location related, so you're right. surprised people are so "" about set breaks though, as 80% of the music i see live has a set break...
