How long has it been since they performed at least 8 songs off the latest album at a show? Popmart? Im not counting LIAWHL. That stat alone is impressive. I only wish Horses had been included tonight otherwise I can’t complain too much about that setlist.

Yeah it almost felt like they were going to come back for one more, which would've been weird given how they all exit during 13. It's not like they walk off in a huddle and can suddenly run back on and go "YEAH SAN JOSE THANKS FOR GIVING US YOUR FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS THIS IS OUT OF CONTROL!"
 
13 as a closer is beautiful and super subtle. It also is a super confusing way to end. Not sure what I'd do differently, though. Maybe end the main set that way and then close with something peppier.

I listened for the MRI bit in the intro tonight and it gave me chills. I mean, Jesus. "Hello, welcome to my near death experience."

Also, accidental rail is the best rail. Much better show than night 1, and only partly because of where I was. Felt much tighter.

It is odd that it definitely felt tighter, even though they did mess up more than yesterday.
 
It was cool to hear Gloria again.
Bummed they didn’t play Horses.

I liked the first night more betterer
 
It's a great fucking show guys. I always hear people talk about the Vertigo tour as a special tour because of how cool it was and how much energy there was. I never got to go to any of the Vertigo shows, but this felt like everything I've heard.
 
Tulsa wasn’t perfect. Especially at the end.
Those 92 performances were so much better.
 
When Bongo would send the kiddos off to school in the winter he'd always ask before they left..."Do you need gloves"

"Cover these hands its god damn freezing
you know these hands will freeze today..."
