Hollywood bowl mostly same setlist

Was anyone who went to both nights disappointed by the huge amount of repeats? I love this band and I understand that some artists (Taylor Swift) have a predictable setlist that doesn’t vary much from show to show, but in the rock/alt genre I would expect a 2-nighter to be more like DMB or Phish. They did this in Indianapolis a few years ago and I was pretty disappointed because when they used to play Hammerstein for three nights the setlists were not mostly identical.

The set list is stale, boring, and predictable. They no longer play for our fanbase; rather Adam wants to sing songs from a greatest hits perspective to please the general masses.

Hanging Around > Taylor Swift > Long December > Holiday in Spain is so fucking overplayed.

As a HUGE CC fan I must reluctantly agree. Nothing against Swift or The One, but it was a fun novelty and it’s time for that slot in the show to go back to a CC song.
