I guess I am alone on an island here, but after 20-30 Hip shows the greatest hits set just doesn't do it for me in the pouring rain. I am a little let down with the evening with shows being so short and the set-lists have seemed to get more generic and less imaginative as the tour has gone on.

I agree that I normally don't like generic setlists, but that venue(my 1st time at the bowl), the rain, the people.....I didn't see anyone not having a great time.

I have been to many HIP shows, and this ranks in my top four for uniqueness:
Showplace Buffalo 96 (small theater/ secret show)
Highland bowl 09
HOB AC 07(only a couple hundred people at this world container show, place was completely empty)
Old Bridge NJ 98(weird but cool venue)

As far as the shows being short.....they have been doing 25 songs a night all tour.
