1. Couldn’t agree more about 2019 vs 2017.
  2. 2019 TJT was better than 2017 TJT but that is a low bar. The tour was the absolute low point for the band imo. Nothing more than a LYV cash grab.

    Was I thrilled to hear some rare and unplayed JT tracks? - of course! Had it been done in the context of a one-off show it would have been cool and unique. As it was they looked and sounded like everything they swore they’d never become as a live band.

    Once a band stops touring new music, they should stop touring. Just my humble opinion.

    A one off show would have likely been impossible to get tickets for, it’s a tour I’m glad I actually got to attend and hear the songs in person. For that it will always be a positive tour for me, in fact one of their better ones imo. I actually agree with that when a band stops touring new music they should stop touring. Thankfully u2 haven’t done that yet as they showed one year later with E&I.

    Begging for 40 but this is about the best of what is realistic.
  6. Realistic regarding number of songs and keeping a chronological order for all of them, which is far from easy to do (but something I wished they'd gone for with the JT setlists, would have been much more interesting than those trainwreck encores they played).

    I get where people are coming from with the negative thoughts about the JT2017/19 tours but I gotta admit I have A LOT of fun at the show I attended and am so thankful that I got to witness all of those "Side B" songs.

    Bring on ZooTV30 in 2022!

    The 2019 encores were good
  9. Not sure I like IWF starting a show either. It's better in the 2-4th slot.
  10. I still think an E&I style version of Pride could have been a great way to start the 2019 shows.
