One (of many) things that Austin and I agree on is THOSE SHOES WAS AMAZING!!!!
The HOTE setlist was great. I probably would have left off some of the Desperado era numbers, but it added to the vibe. The main thing is that I heard all of my favorites.
I was pretty upset after seeing the LROOE tour and not hearing Already Gone, it was a good show but it really kept bothering me afterwards until I saw the HOTE tour. The HOTE show blew my LROOE experience out of the water. Better seats, no more funeral suits (a rock n' roll band should embrace rebellion and informality and not be in business attire, I'm sorry), and a much better setlist.

They did the Walsh songs during the LROOE tour. They dropped the Henley songs.
For me the LROOE tour was superior in every way to HOTE, but I saw the end of HOTE when Glenn was coming to the end. That is what stays with me. I don't want to go off track but I had to make that statement. I am well aware that many people seemed to think HOTE was better.

I should point out that not only was AG not in the LROOE setlist, but neither were TS & my favourite song of all, NKIT. That was hard to take, but I understood it because of the LROOE songs (although a couple of them were dropped after one night, which in my view was just .... I don't know what a suitable word is.... showing lack of faith in their new album). Maybe they did do TBOS & DL, I don't remember. I should look up my reviews. They didn't do ASWTDID. I only ever saw that on the F1 tour.
I don't wish to go further off topic about HOTE, but yes, Glenn was not himself at all, and I knew it. You can have a look at my reviews if you like. I went to the Sydney shows & one Brisbane show in 2015. All I will say is that at the time I tried as hard as I could to hide my disappointment, knowing that it was not what people wished to read about, and also knowing that I knew my interest in the band was declining anyway. How was I to know what would then occur.
