War on Drugs tonight for me on an unseasonably cool evening outdoors here in St. Pete (if I can ever get out of this fucking divorce mediation). It's no Red Rocks, but it'll do.

Enjoying it, but I feel like I'm in a sea of human redwoods. Every MFer here in front of me is like Scottie Pippen or taller.

So I agree but I don't think I'll ever get over "The New". That should be two independent songs, the 2nd half should be mid-album and the 1st half should be the second to last song where it is or the last song, depending on how long they'd play out the instruments at the end.

Same era. Is This It should be on that list as well.

I bet it was fun. Hope he played a medley of his hit. (HIS WORDS NOT MINE!)

I've heard "Vegas Lights" played there a few hundred times, but never live.

(It's the VGK goal song.)

My kid went to that show here in Tampa. He absolutely loves Marina (the opening act).

The first opener (Jake Wesley Rogers) was literally the gayest performer I’ve ever seen and he was awesome. One of the best opening arena acts I’ve ever seen. But even Elton John would have been like “you might want to dial it back about 25 percent, kid”
