IMO "I Won't Back Down" (idiotic lyrics, weak melody) does not measure up to a lot of his other songs like "Refugee", "Learning to Fly", etc. - and "Breakdown" is always great with a big audience.

Agreed. But I think the common denominator for this set selection was truly what the biggest selling hits were. I would have LOVED to have seen "Breakdown" -- which was my first TP song I ever heard back in the 70s.

Still -- it was a great set. And that stage was awesome!
Im gonna see Tom in August and I cant wait....
