I think a pretty solid defense of phil is that we have collectively spent 18 hours riffing on this, drawing on a pretty deep storehouse of memorable lyrics and song titles from 30 years or so, without much effort.
I was a plus-one to a Phil show a long time ago (at the Tacoma Dome), and literally every song in the entire concert was a hit, culminating in collecting canned food and "Another Day in Paradise."

Ha! I swear I went to that Tacoma Dome show with my mom. It was probably like 1992, and I was 11 or 12. I remember bringing canned food. I also remember he mocked audience members who wouldn't participate and said 'I'm just too fucking cool for this'. Also we brought canned food, and the music was so loud it was distorting in my ear.

There is a group of artists who could play nothing but hits for hours, and even if you aren't a fan you would at least recognize every song.
Bruce, Billy, Phil, Who, Stones....
― Fjord Explorer (Ye Mad Puffin), Tuesday, 27 October 2020 00:41 (three years ago) link
Some of these acts, it's really nuts. I don't think Phil could do it, tbh, but I've seen back-to-back Bruce shows where each one seemed to be a solid 3+ hours of hits, yet differed by maybe 65%!
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 27 October 2020 01:09 (three years ago) link
what's pretty nuts is that Phil was already lowering the keys of many of his hits like, 20+ years ago. I remember buying a pay per view show in the late 90s and he was singing most everything in lower keys.
wonder if he sounds like Lou RAwls now

This was the show! I was 20 and went with a British co-worker who loved the hits but scowled at me during the long freeform drums/guitar space jam that ended into “In The Air Tonight.” “What is this, art or something?”

When I saw Bob Seger in 2007, I had been expecting a solid greatest-hits show, but he actually played six new songs! I wrote about it for the Voice.

I saw the Stones at some point in ... I don't remember what year it was. Bigger Bang tour? Anyway, right beforehand the publicist swung by and gave the writers (or at least a writer) a copy of the setlist, which identified all the songs they were playing that night that they had not played the previous night, and it really struck me what a science it must be to devise a setlist when you literally have more hits than you can play.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 27 October 2020 14:13 (three years ago) link
I remember reading an interview with Brooks & Dunn where they were a little frustrated because their audience would not put up with them playing anything but their #1 hits
― Muswell Hillbilly Elegy (President Keyes), Tuesday, 27 October 2020 14:15 (three years ago) link
Metallica really does have this down to a science — I remember reading Lars Ulrich talking about how they'd get Spotify and YouTube data and find out which songs got the most streams in a given market, and make sure they went into the set that night.
― but also fuck you (unperson), Tuesday, 27 October 2020 14:25 (three years ago) link
At the same time, I recall Lars claiming one justification for the shorter songs on the Black Album (and beyond) was that all the increasingly long songs were really limiting what they could do in their setlists.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 27 October 2020 14:27 (three years ago) link
Once the Who settle on a setlist at the start of a tour, it rarely changes. It's all up to Daltrey: he picks the songs and determines the sequence for what's easiest on his voice. He also knows that a significant portion of the audience will feel cheated if they don't hear the biggest hits (aka, half of Who's Next). They'll slot in rarities from time to time -- in 2015/16 I saw them do "Pictures of Lily," "Slip Kid," and "A Quick One, While He's Away" -- and if there's a new record out, a few songs from that. John Entwistle used to say that if the running order works, why mess with it?
When the Grateful Dead opened two Who shows in 1976, Townshend expressed his amazement to Jerry Garcia that the Dead only repeated one song from one night to the next.

tbf once you take being tight or consistent off the table, it really doesn't matter what you play night to night. That's sort of the miracle of bands like Springsteen or Pearl jam, that they can shake it up so much from night to night and never get sloppy.

simple they could have cut all of the damn noodling. seriously, Metallica shows would be 3 hours, and 20 minutse of that would be James making dumb jokes or whining about the crowd not making enough noise, 15 minutes of that would be James getting fans to sing the chorus to "Seek and Destroy", 5 minutes would be Jason playing old Flotsam and Jetsam basslines and calling that a bass solo, 10 minutes would be Kirk soloing so drenched in wah that it rendered his solos incomprehensible. that's almost an hour there, 7 or 8 more songs!
I've noticed when I see Metallica the last few years, their shows are much tighter with less dicking around, and they seem to play more in less time (usually 2.5 hours)
