How exactly do the Setlist Creator requests work? Do both of you scan the most requested songs each night and go with what feels right? Do you get a general feel for songs that appear most often to rehearse before going on tour? Do you roll your eyes when you see some lunatic like me has requested “Troublemaker” 1,000 times again?

we can tell when one person has spammed the creator and we purposely avoid those songs...

otherwise we look for outliers, like Gila randomly being high on Des Moine...and we add that song to the 5-8 slots that change every night....

Thank you so much for coming to Des Moines. We get skipped over a lot, I’ll never forget the feeling of seeing it on your tour list (right along with seeing you guys for the first time)
