They were all sounding identical and had no variation from tour to tour. after 15 shows or so since the very beggining of his career in music, I just had to stop going to the shows. This show renewed my interest in seeing Jack Johnson live in concert after my 2 year hiatus of his shows. A simple EQ tweak or adjustment should be all that is needed to satisfy personal preferences.
