Even why aye man was a lazy choose.

They could had opened with Trapper or Back on the dance floor, and throw away Corned Beer City that is already overplayed.

Ride Across the River was epic.  The flute intro followed by the moment Mark hit the first chord and the lights came on was just magic.  And the music wasn't bad either!

Yes sir! And they do have all the ingredients for it on this tour (flutes, brass, percussion). Just imagine how it could sound with this band...

Opportunity missed I think.  Don't see it happening now.  I think it's safe to say NDT is here to stay as they've managed to link the intro with Crocks introduction and Mark walking on stage.

There is always a possibility that WAM will be the second song in the set and they skip CBC

I doubt. It is surprisingly hard song to get running smoothly.

I may be wrong, but my impression so far is that rhythmically the band isn't super tight yet.

It was one of the few songs not played well in Barcelona.  It was a pretty solid first night played "safe" by Mark (as always) but I did notice a couple of greenies in WAM.

Don't you think that opening or playing with "back on the dance floor" in his farewell tour would had been weird?

Even more than having more than 10 thousand people singing and clapping where are their bacon roll?
