Pisses me off, because the band/Perry sound the best they have in a long time.

Other things to note from other videos on this YouTube channel:

Mountain Song - Dave is doing the solo straight off the album (with a few embellishments). First time he’s switched it up in over 25 years.

Perry’s coat is reminiscent of Relapse, and for Jane Says he’s down to a wifebeater and I get strong ‘91 vibes.

Additionally:

They played 16 songs - including 3 days, Then She Did, and Summertime. This is easily the longest set they’ve played in some time.

Dave said on Instagram he was gonna play his gold guitar from ‘91 (can’t remember what make it is). He apparently had it restored and took a video of himself playing it “Milan Style” (his words).

Back up dancers are one thing. Not my favorite thing but it's been happening a long time.

Male backup dancers is a whole other thing. Fuck that.

To top it off they give them microphones?? I don't hear them but fuck that too.

This isn't Kind Heaven

Watched the videos from this show. It's kinda funny how Etty, the other girl and the guy are buried way back nearly offstage as if the band know it's a dumb, unnecessary thing to have those 3 (inaudibly) singing back-up and gesticulating like out of sync drunken cheerleaders. During "Jane Says" it's the band, Todd(?) on 2nd guitar and the backup crew. May as well bring out the rest of their friends and families onstage on cowbells and triangles. I haven't seen any clips of 3 Days - I wonder if their still doing the Pew Pew Version w/keyboards.
