New Tour / New Sets: Should We panic Yet?

Been a long time follower of this band..1995-present.

I think 2005-2008 were some of the best tours this band ever performed so I'm not stuck in the "good old days"..

BUT..Getting a weird vibe with the news 2012 tunes.. mild / short setlists..

Maybe the 2010 tour breaking out the rarities has skewed me....

Its just that nothing the band has recorded or performed in 2012 has "kicked my ass" yet..

I know there are lot of "Big Whiskey" haters ...
personally when I heard studio "Shake Me Like a Monkey" and live performance of "Why I Am" .. it did it for me ..

I was IN...
SOLD
STOKED!..

but so far, Mercy, Gaucho, Save Me full band, weak set lists..
for 2012..

I'm not feeling it (yet)..

Is it time to panic?

where are the kick ass songs / setlists??

    Some would consider You Never Know a kickass song.

    and Big Eyed Fish and Grace to some extent.

    But I agree, the start of the tour feels a bit weird. But no, not time to panic yet. Or ever. I'm going to 2 shows this year when usually I go to 6+, so I won't be as irritated by hearing Squirm or Eh Hee, even though he'll end up playing Squirm both nights.

    After 3 shows? No. Plus take a listen to the first two shows...the recordings are incredible and the band sounds great. The new songs are fantastic, but that's your own opinion. General consensus around here seems to be pretty positive. They have finally slowed things down! All we need now is Boyd ot be turned up and we're golden in 2012.

    No need to panic. Were 3 shows deep, and one was a festival, which is notoriously meh for the band. Wait till they get to the east coast, get in their rhythm a little more, etc. If things dont look up after Hartford, and we are still hearing the same 20 songs night after night, then get concerned.

    If you're waiting for them to bust out 5 rarities every night and not play 1/2 of big whiskey then yes, panic all you want because it's just not going to happen.

    No reason to panic. People were bored and hated 2010 by mid-June. Now it's considered one of the best tours of the past decade.

    Re: New Tour / New Sets: Should We panic Yet?

    We're only three shows in and one of them was a festival. If you don't count the festival "safety" set, there have only been three repeats at regular shows with 34 different songs played. And some of them were actually songs that we can all agree on getting excited about returning.

    No. I don't think anyone needs to "panic" quite yet.

    it's not about the repeats.

    it's about big whiskey and eh hee type shit.

    that just can't happen this summer. this band needs to go into the jam category of bands, not hooty and the blowfish.
