I guess i had my hopes up but the show wasnt that great. Vancouver seems to have the worst audiences, and dallas really seemed to notice and didnt seem to want to be there, the setlist wasnt great - not a cover, black lungs and sleepercar were unimpressive, apart from Wade's last song and the 7" never showed up. the crowd could no hold a clapping beat for a whole song and not a person sang when he asked them too. and like last time i saw him he's ruined Day Old Hate. The live album version is stunning but he's sped up the tempo and it sounds very rushed and forced. Apart from a few words to the crowd he spoke even less than the previous time and i think if he was into it Wade would have come out and played a song or two with him. I'm really starting to agree with the White Stripes on their choice to not use a set lists - they are terrible, crowd suggestions mean shit, and its all pre-planned. overall, a VERY sub-par show. shitty fans, pretty average performance, shitty setlist and no energy to speak of.
