The good news was Mike Wanchic was back on tour after a medical absence of some sort. The bad news was John cut many songs from the set list compared to previous concerts - only playing 70 mins. The warm up band played that long. Not good.

I wonder if it was a curfew issue? I heard that Springsteen and McCartney had the plug pulled in the middle of a song in London just the other day because they were over the curfew. Maybe stupid red tape and bureaucratic garbage meant they had to be done at a certain time?

no curfew issue....Bayfest was to run to midnight - he was done at 11:10pm.  I have seen him over 35 times in 25 years and I don't understand how he can cut some shows short (I've seen this before) and feel it's ok.  People pay good money and get a fraction of the show.
