I was amazed how little people move, maybe is just me but a song like Bananafishbones I cannot stay still. To me the evening felt like a divine occurrence combined with a party filled with love and celebration :) ...truly beautiful, heart opening, and heart shining experience. Now onwards and upwards people, let's let this night set the tone for the coming age (am I serious? perhaps) ...lets get out there and share the shimmering warm loveAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08290476358266018219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-86314069401387346162016-07-30T03:54:43.444-05:002016-07-30T03:54:43.444-05:00I might also add that this is the fifth tour I hav...I might also add that this is the fifth tour I have seen them on.

A lot of other people used that song for their bathroom break. They are at their best when they take risks. The first encore was mind blowing.

The setlist are now very similar especially the encores. What I find most disappointing is how they have the 2 setlist variations where a couple of songs are alternated. Why can't they create the 'best' setlist by combining songs instead of alternating! Quite a few songs are really played to death over the past tours yet the current last 2 encores are very boring in my view. Some of the fave dark songs have only been played a few times so far on the tour and then dropped. So its kinda back to usual per the last few tours sadly<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06918064670671103719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-1970179341093117312016-07-28T20:30:16.441-05:002016-07-28T20:30:16.441-05:00I just started telling people to shut up, and ofte...I just started telling people to shut up, and oftentimes, they did!parallelextinctionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668140021704536384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-79630799720924481042016-07-28T20:03:15.654-05:002016-07-28T20:03:15.654-05:00How did this even get put on iTunes!?

I could be wrong, though it would be unusual if all of a sudden they veered away from the established path during the last two (relatively) smaller shows.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388856214922471928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-79348032824481682822016-07-28T13:43:27.443-05:002016-07-28T13:43:27.443-05:00What is this?
