I think its a great closer but Im sure they'll re-tool things for subsequent tours. By my 3rd show of the tour part of me said to hell with predictability and really enjoyed the familiarity of OBH as a closer. They mixed up the early part of the encore, which was enough for me. By the time OBH rolls around its kinda like a "OK, here we go. This is it, so get it all out of your system". Its was a friendly handshake, a "This'll tide you over until we meet again".

kymomandstuff is right, OBH at Waterfront Park took down the house. I loved it on New Years as well, the only way to close it out IMO. In some ways its become more than a simple song to me. Much like Birds Lament, whenever I hear it now I spontaneously break into an ear-to-ear smile like one of Pavlovs dogs, and Im flooded with memories of the shows Ive seen, people I've met, etc etc.


Well, thats fulfills my bi-monthly rambling post requirement.
