see i completely disagree with what you are saying about Big Love and So Afraid. they ARE showstoppers, not they
were. especially on this tour, where the effect of his playing is augmented with those jumbotrons. it works really really well! read any review from any of their shows so far. look behind you at the see of people and standing Os. and ISA is actually different almost every tour (although his stage moves are the same
). these 2 songs are absolute showstoppers and he has to do them.
same with Landslide, the whole audience sings that one, she doesn't even have to sing it, it's like a Rod Stewart singalong.
i do agree that Gold Dust Woman, although definitely a must in the set, is very stale the way they do it. they can easily cut the last 3-4 minutes of pure boredom, musically. and Lindsey should jazz it up like he did at the European leg of Unleashed. he also needs to jazz back up SOTM, a lot.
