nope...no 'whining' from me. Already praised them for mixing it up so much in another thread and happy to do so again on this one. Very good variety for a stadium show. When you get two shows in one city in 2006 (and also at the Bowl shows in November which saw the biggest change EVER in successive shows at the same venue), there appears to be a good mix.
Nothing really surprising in the shows, but certainly had I been at both gigs I'd have been very pleased at the variety between the two shows.
Just wish the "one nighters" would have a similar degree of unpredictability and the 2nd half of each show could get mixed around somewhat, but thumbs up Macca style and credit where its due for them changing things around.
Just another angle on the 'where are the setlist bitchers now' subject...They didnt mix the sets around much on the back to back shows early on in the tour (see Fenway!). They do so now. Maybe all this whining/caring (delete where applicable) has got back to them and they figured that the show needed a bit more variety
Y'all may wish to thank us instead
