Triple wide was right up my alley

Puppet String is a bit newer with its 2011 debut. Still amazing they haven’t played anything released in the last decade yet. Staircase is a given tonight and wouldn’t be surprised at Small Strides > ALS either.

Really enjoyed that show from couch. Wasnt a fan of night one really at all, but last night gave me some FOMO for a bit.

Got me excited for STL. Wouldnt hate it if Kris was still out. For his sake, though, hopefully he is back.

Doesn’t look like they’ve played any originals with a more recent debut than 2010 so far. Love that.

Edit: someone already brought this up

Crooked One would have been nice. Love me some #5 too but I’ve seen it a lot.

How long have they been using the square light rig? It’s certainly something. Not sure what exactly but it’s something.

I loved it, at first I was thinking it seemed simplistic with a lot of straight washes but before long I was all about it.

I would be down for Escape Goat or Small Strides tonight if they’re going to play newer stuff. The show last night was really fun, Rory and Ben both crushed. I remember the Wappy and Triple Wide being really excellent, although I have attendance and enhancement bias

It sounded familiar so you might be right

Swore I heard this last night, but didn’t think much of it. I caught it at Red Rocks 2018 and thought it sounded familiar. It wasn’t notated on the setlist tho…

I can verify it’s not Australian Lullaby. Similar progression, yes, but different key.

I don’t think an exact key is necessary for a tease. They tease stuff in different keys all the time.
