I know a lot is being made of the acoustic trio of songs played out of the break, and don't get me wrong, I think that's awesome and a great idea.

But if we think back to the last "Evening With" tour, if I remember correctly, they wound up sort of settling into a groove where they did that exact same format (i.e., first three tunes of second set are performed acoustically). The only difference was that they didn't do the whole "sit-down" move, which frankly I don't really get. I watched that Youtube video of The Bear from last night, and it was amazing to hear that song live, and how they treated it etc, but it certainly appeared to me as though Gord D. was somewhat out of his element sitting down.

Again, don't get me wrong - I'm not trying to piss on anyone's party. I am psyched that they're on the road again, dusting off some great gems, etc. But upon further review, this "acoustic mini-set" thing didn't exactly come out of left field.

I agree. I just didn't have the nards to say it. I know most people on here are patient, and respectful of others opinions, but I am used to message boards where people are not.
