I saw the reunion tour three times. They definitely had an A list setlist for first nights and single dates and I caught three A shows. That's why the residency was generally better for song selection. Bruce initially disliked signs requesting songs (especially "Rosalita") but eventually embraced them including taking a minute to run down the chord changes to Darkness outtake "One Way Street" before delivering its lone live outing in Germany in 2013.

Excellent piece, Greil, typically. Especially your side trip into southern Appalachia.
