The band has played three legs on the show, and I already wonder if I have died and gone to heaven. Because these are set lists that just defy earthly thinking.
Last night in L.A., they not only played Pretty Persuasion, they opened with it. Two Three songs later, they played Sitting Still. I shit you not.
Before this tour, they had never played Ignoreland live. They have rolled it out every night, a smart choice since the lyrics still ring true 16 years later (and that’s about as overt of a political statement I will ever make).They have played Get Up, Gardening at Night, West of the Fields, Second Guessing, Life and How to Live It and Orange Crush. A few rare appearances that don’t get me jazzed, but are noteworthy, include Let Me In, I’ve Been High and Circus Envy.
Bottom line, they are pulling out all the stops. Less than two weeks until they come around my way. I still haven’t gotten a ticket, but plenty are available online. I’m just trying to decide where I want to enjoy the action from.
