In terms of how they played the material, in my opinion the setlist created a hodge podge/ junk drawer experience. I think they picked up on the weirdness of the setlist relatively quickly, but falsely blamed it on the pre '75 material and the amount of it.
This is how I'd organize the show. Ideally I would cut I Got You and Don't Dream, but if we had to keep it - this is what I came up with.
The Chain
Little Lies
Dreams
Second Hand News
Say You Love Me
Everywhere
Rhiannon
PRE '75 SET
Man Of The World
Black Magic Woman
Tell me All The Things You Do
Hypnotized
Oh Well
BAND INTRO > New Member Material
I Got You
Don't Dream It's Over
Monday Morning
Isn't It Midnight
Landslide
Storms
You Make Loving Fun
Gold Dust Woman
Go Your Own Way
ENCORE
World Turning
Don't Stop
ENCORE 2
Free Falling
All Over Again
