Rate the tour so far...

[crashintonickdm]

7/10

thats fair. too inconsistant.

[bartender_man]

7. Some nice variety as far as bringing some old songs back but also some very lacking sets

[rickyh24]

6 or 7 I guess. Not enough stand out shows but the really good ones (4 or so) have been really good.

[dmbdreamingtree]

8/10

- Fair amount of song mix.
- Nice songs played, nothing spectacular.
- Well played songs - Boyd sounds good.
- Solid shows with incredible song runs.
- Not so solid shows with poorly chosen song runs.
- More good shows to bad shows.

Yea this is pretty much how I feel about it.

[riverbender41]

8. My biggest complaint would be the sets have been somewhat shorter then past years. Pretty good year so far

[luccic12]

I put 6.

[neumdogg]

I have not been to any shows yet so I can't rate it.

7. The great sets have been REALLY great, but there's been some horrible sets/runs. Good job bringing back songs and switching up song placement though.

I don't think the sets have been shorter, maybe your memory is off? Just looked and the shows have been pretty consistent time-wise the last few years.

I'd give the tour a 7 so far.

[ExistenceNow]

6, but I'm probably just bitter cuz I got two of the shittiest shows. I might feel different after WPB. Hopefully.

[jakesomedevil41]

i give it an 8 so far.

[trippinbillee]

I gave it an 8 - mostly because of the 3 shows I've been to. Charlotte was great (give it a 7-8), Bristow - well we'll just say that wasn't great (4-5), but VA Beach was an absolute blast and I think the best set of the tour so far and I'd give that a 10.

[SmoothD41]

I give it a 6. There's only been 3-4 really strong shows, and sure they've played around 80 songs, but some of the best ones (loving wings, BOWA, Ditch, pig, jane, OSW, Crash, The Stone, So Right, DIDO, help myself, say goodbye) have only been played 1-2 times so I don't put too much stock in that little factoid.

[kittensXLI]

If I Had It All and Help Myself should have stuck around longer.

The Best Of What's Around took too long to show up too.

Everybody Wake Up is so good, though. You Never Know at SPAC was great. Halloween ---> Tripping Billies is fantastic.

[laura22]

overall, 6-7
personally, 9

[liljoey90]

I think it's been at least an 8 so far.... I know there have been some inconsistent shows, but I'm very surprised at the amount of songs that have been busted out already, and it's only been a month. Still no Deer Creek, Alpine, WPB, or Gorge. If you would've told me that Pig, Halloween, When the world ends, So right, If I had it all, Everybody Wake Up, Song that Jane Likes, Minerets, You Never Know, ETC would be all busted out by a month into the tour, I'd think your nuts. Although the caravan was really good, I just didn't expect this much material to be in rotation. Who would've ever imagine that Halloween would be getting as much play as it has. I give them A LOT of credit for what they've been doing. I know every show has been far from perfect, but they are deffinetly heading down the right path.

[jsixstring]

I say 2 outta 4 shows are duds! I was at bristow & highly disappointed in the setlist being too many slow songs in a row.. Thank god so right got us movin a bit.. My rating is a 5.. My two cents

[cpxc.]

a solid 7

exactly!

[liljoey90]

I think people are a little bias that got bad shows.... I think OP wanted to rate this tour as a whole, not just the show you went too. Bad shows happen, it's just the reality of it. I'm not saying it's right, but the band is never gonna be great with set lists every night. That shouldn't affect people's views on the tour though.

[DMBzilla]

Gave it a 6.

Only a few great shows, and a few more worth listening to. The shows have been far too inconsistent to rate the tour any higher, and unless it gets much better it's on pace to be the worst tour since 2007.

I'd expect that most would take these into account when ranking the tour. The tour has just been too inconsistent for me to rank very high. There's been some great shows but there's also been some major duds. They've returned some great songs but they're also over playing some really week tunes (Eh Hee, Can't Stop OOMH).

[antinseattle]

I'd say a solid 7/10

I think I got hosed on Woodlands as far as length of show, think it was under 2 hours. 2nd show was Blossom. Both were fun, both were PIT, met some great fans.....


I've got 9 more, they will make it up to me..............

[crashintonickdm]

i thought i was being kind giving it a 7. i figured most people would be saying 10/10.

you know, the simmons, rwest, scottdmbbt, and thelastpigs of the forum.

My memory could be off. But I was talking about number of songs rather than time of shows. I think the shows I went to in 2010 and the caravans each had 20 to 22 songs. This year it seems there has been a lot of 18 song shows.


But then again I could have a really bad memory and be completely wrong....

[TheLastPig]

7. Been some real good shows and others that just leave you scratching your head. The last couple weeks have seem to pick up a little. Hopefully they carry the momentum from last night thru this little break.

But I thought you were so against personal attacks??

Go ahead and continue to embarrass yourself, dickhead. Somehow you keep setting the bar even higher for your douche-baggery.

[crawfish]

Since I only go to one a year I'd say the show I went to was a 5.
