When you brought up the 2001 tour as also being under appreciated, you made the assumption that I haven't listened to shows from that tour. Fact is, I did and I attended some as well. Contrary to popular belief, join date on Ants doesn't necessarily correlate to how long someone has been a fan. And, yes, the Everyday songs were one of the reasons I thought it was bad, and so were the Lovely Ladies.
By you saying 2001 is under appreciated, aren't you saying the majority of fans are incorrect in their opinion that it wasn't a good tour year for DMB?
In case you missed it, DMB is not doing it.
Follow up question -
What tour year(s), if any, do you believe are worse than 2001?

Alright, I forgot that I used the term "under appreciated" regarding them. I didn't re-read my first post, but if you say that I said it, than okay.
And I guess since Steve Lillywhite decided that he didn't like them after all, I should follow suit and change my opinion? Steve Lillywhite is a very fan-oriented person. He cares a LOT about what dMb's fanbase thinks. So how do I know that he didn't make those remarks simply to appease the majority of fans who didn't like the Ladies? And actually... who cares? His motivation for saying whatever it is he said is also not going to make me change my opinion of what I think sounded good for a season.
I did assume that you didn't listen to many 2001 shows. It was wrong of me to assume, but why would I think any different? I mean, why listen to shows from a tour that you don't like. Right?
I didn't look at your join date. I could care less about your join date.
Have you not noticed yet that I don't go around telling people that their opinions are wrong? I may disagree with them, but it's their opinion. How can someones personal opinion be wrong (when it comes to personal taste when appreciating art)? So therefore, no... I am not saying that if the majority of fans say that the 2001 tour was bad that means that they are wrong. I will say that just because the masses feel a certain way, it doesn't mean that I am going to feel the same. If you have your reasons for not liking that tour, than okay. I respect that. But I disagree. The Band sounded great that tour. The shows I went to were a lot of fun. I'm not going to hate on it for being Everyday heavy, because it was the Everyday tour. And even though it's not my favorite album, I don't hate it. So why should I think it was a bad tour? Because everyone else does? (I will say this, though... 4.21.01 was probably the worst show I've ever been to. Not because of the set list. They just sounded rusty and it wasn't the C'Ville homecoming show that we were all hoping for because of that fact.)
What do I need to notice them not doing?
I think the 2007 tour was probably the worst tour by this Band.
