I don't think the amount of new stuff was the problem. I get what they want to do, have seen them before, knew what to expect. Nonetheless, as a live event it lacked pace. It was more like listening to the new record, which I do love and really liked live. It is just a bit odd to put the audience through 11 new ones in a row and then leave stage at 10:40 with an 11:00 curfew at Massey Hall (then encore the last of the new ones). As I said, it was good, not great. One or two more at the end that kept the pace and energy of DV 69 would made it even better. I love them but am not just going to say it was the best show I have ever seen. It was hard to leave right after Death Valley. It is an awfully impressive catalogue to ignore.
