Was Keith also there, writing songs with him on his napkin while they waited for their main course?

Unfortunately (for me, but not you!) those shows always tend to be around the north or north-east of the US!

There's pros and cons of that. You're right about the setlists, although they do tend to need more than ten shows to get into some kind of gear (I thought the ABB shows were pretty mediocre until about November 2005 when they picked up)

The one positive about waiting until later on in the tour is that the fans who buy the tickets early on are sort of guinea pigs. After a few weeks, the rest of us have a better way of figuring out how the scam of ticket distribution works and are less likely to end up panic buying nosebleeds for $450.
