Joe, the eternal optimist. I wish I could go into that guy’s headspace and enjoy it like he does. I used to. Matt is preaching the truth.

The one point I’d add to the discussion - It’s amazing how the band used to be able to jumble up the same core songs in the set list, and people would still go nuts over them and attend multiple shows. Catalog gets bigger, they should be able to mix it up more, but they don’t.

As for tired slot placements of songs... there really are few “big songs” after tLWS. I think they’ve tried to force some (Bayou, Time Bomb) But there is no knew DDTW, Ants or Bartender. Listen to AFTW or Come Tomorrow and there is Nothing anywhere that screams Big Live staple song, yet they’ve gone full arena rock in the live show. It’s sad.
