I've been getting the feeling that 2019 Summer Tour didn't have the same amount of great full shows vs 2018 (plenty of great moments, to be sure), so I pulled some numbers from https://t.co/XKFPkjNV3m and the results are in!
Overall, the average show rating for Summer 2018 on https://t.co/kSzbQWV9j4 was 4.02, vs 3.74 this summer, which is a meaningful difference.
Last summer featured 11 shows of a rating of 4+, vs 7 this summer, so assuming tonight and all 3 Dicks shows shred, we'll have a tie!
Anyway, I'm betting they end tour in style tonight with some macrojams, a meaty YEM, and a few more hee haws for good measure. 46 Days till Dicks tomorrow, can't wait!
I guess this is the trade off of having all these new songs: it creates all these amazing moments to see them live, but might be at the cost of cohesiveness, at least temporarily. Or maybe that's totally wrong, who knows.
