I'm glad they switched up the setlist at least. I saw them in Irvine and they sounded good. Much better in person than in videos - been meaning to leave a full review. Chad's solo on Shit Towne though was not good...

I've noticed on social media that Zak and Ed seem to hang out a lot on the tour during off days. So does Zak and Robin, or Ed, Zak, and Robin, or Ed, Zak, Robin, and Chat T, or some other combination of those four. I rarely see Chad G or Pat hanging out with any of them outside of the concert venues. Of course social media is not a good picture of life, but I really hope that Chad G and Pat are buddies with everyone.

When Ed toured solo with the full band, he never had a fifth member of the band and Ed always played guitar. CCCP also never added a touring guitarist. There may not have been money in either camp for a fifth person, but I do wonder if the fifth guitarist and addition of Robin is Ed/Live giving their friends jobs. Ed added his brother to the payroll as a rhythm guitarist. Chad G's brother is a member of the road crew. Zak was Ed's friend from his solo days. Robin was needed at one point, but now that Chad G is healed it might be "We like Robin, let's just have him around."

With that said, they do sound good in person and I recommend seeing them.
