I would say it was "fine". Considering the location and that it was like 10 years since they last played the area it was about what I would expect: play the traditional hits, some new songs, and a few from the most recent album. I was hoping at least one deep cut would be thrown in but no dice. (Unless you count #41 and LIOG as deeper cuts...which in the context of "traditional radio hits" I suppose they are).
I'm fairly amenable to Old Dirt Hill but its place in the set seemed odd and sucked the energy that had built up after SMTS/Too Much.
The new version(from Come Tomorrow) of Can't Stop moves along well enough; it doesn't excite me but it's not particularly offensive either.
I was happy to have avoided Jimi Thing and Bayou.
After thinking, I categorized the songs in the set below:
10* "singles" from the albums
2 new songs
2 songs that the Antsmarching boards hate (ODH, Cant Stop)
2 fan crowd pleasers (41, warehouse)
2 miscellaneous/idk how to categorize them (LIOG, Do You Remember)
1 Cover
1 Solo/Cover
*counting WtWE that was supposed to be the single before 9/11 and Space Between subbing in
