Lucky you, Justin!
They haven't done any Southwest or that many West Coast dates on this latest leg, so I can't see them, but I've been hearing that shows have been GREAT.
High energy, lots of chemistry/ magnetism from the guys, and their playing is ON, particularly Andy's guitar and John's bass. I've also been hearing that Simon's been having some voice issues (they've been touring for a year and half). They seem to have about 3/5 old material & 2/5 new material. Show is about 90 mins.--2 hrs. It's been sounding great to me--I know that I would love it--I don't go with unrealistic expectations, and so I know I'll be pleased. Also, I would add that I think it matters how far or close you are to the stage.
Anyway, here's the set list from Indianapolis the other day: (from dd.com):
