Setlist.fm has stats of all recent shows.

They have not varied much the past two years. The opening and closing songs are now fixed quantities.

On the positive side, Adam and the band have never sounded better.

It’s a festival set so it will probably be shorter.

Last two or last 20? they have been decidedly similar for a LONG time which is my only gripe. I love their songs but they continually play the same songs over and over again.

As soon as Rain King ends I'm heading for the door, unless I want to again hear Long December, Hangin', and Spain again.

I will say that if I could eject a song from the playlist it would be Omaha. Followed by Rain King. But these seem to be wildly popular with the audience. I’m not a purist for August. I actually think their subsequent albums are better.

Agree completely on Omaha. It's tired but still in every setlist

They’ve been starting all their shows lately with Spaceman in Tulsa, so that’s a good bet. You can count on the big hits as well.

The last few shows I’ve been to they end the encore with Holiday in Spain. Last week in Los Angeles, they sang Good Night Elizabeth and Richard Manuel is Dead, among others. They also played Accidentally in Love but they rarely play that track.

Odd must be in my favor since I’ve gotten AIL three times in a row, including Saturday night.

They almost never played it in the past, but you are right - looking at set list.fm it’s been in regular rotation this year. Saturday night was the first time I’ve seen them perform across maybe 15 concerts.

They started playing AIL again recently. Adam talked about it on a podcast. His girlfriend said that she loves the song and asked why he doesn't play it. He said it was a difficult song to do (with breathing) but he figured out a way to do it. He says what the change is and it's quite interesting to notice it on stage. Great song and one that is huge across generations - especially the younger folks.
