So Mercy was indeed played again.Eyeswithpride you were correct.First repeat at the Gorge since 2009 (Funny The Way It Is).Good show,but IMO,too much Big Whiskey.Not the usual epic Gorge gig.N3 Im sure will have more rare tunes for the hardcores.The Stone sounded fantastic as usual.
The broadcast soundwise was great,and the shows main set was around 2 hrs and 40 min,close to 3 hrs after the encore.Very nice.The same length as N1,even though they played 6 less songs than N1.

Solid weekend,kinda shocked they played Mercy 3 times, being that they were at the Gorge.That location is in the middle of nowhere,and is filled with campers that are attending all 3 nights.I dont believe the inclusion of Mercy at all 3 gigs will sway anyone one way or the other.
And not one debut from AFTW.The Riff,Belly Belly Nice and If Only were all played at my WPB gigs over 2 months ago.Mercy and Gaucho were played at my Jones Beach gigs in the middle of June.
Still,impressive that Mercy was indeed the only song repeated over the weekend.U2 would have played 90% of the same set every night.Go figure.
