I always wondered why they ended their shows on such a down note. I've never heard their current closing tune, but ending shows on a down note is kind of a crappy idea to me. After a show I want that exileration of "Yeah, that kicked ass!" not "Aww...how lovely. That was nice."
Songbird was cool and a trademark, but I don't think it should be their trademark to put you to sleep at the end of the show with a song that's NOT Songbird. I've never heard their current closer, but Tusk And Don't Stop worked great for the Dance, go ahead and stick to that minus Songbuzzard. Some bands keep their same encores for years and it's still cool every time you hear them.
With Lindsey so excited about their new rockin' direction he needs to be proving just how muscular, masculine and maneuverable the new Mac is during the encore.
