In case anyone missed this post about Live on the Fans of Live Facebook page read it below. Unbelievable!

At Pointfest in St Louis. Hugely disappointed that they only played for 55 minutes even though they were today’s headliner! They left the stage at 10:31 and curfew wasn’t until 11. 😞
They did cover REM and Rolling Stones

Playing that short of a set and ending a show with that much available venue time left is complete and total bullshit! You can't call yourself a professional band if you end a show at 10:30 with an 11:00 venue curfew. If that isn't showing up for a paycheck and mailing it in I don't know what is.

On top of it, throwing in two covers on a ridiculously short set when people come to hear your songs is such a disservice. People can hear cover bands all summer long at their local small town concert venues. They should be ashamed of themselves.

I would hope that they get absolutely blasted online but nobody would give rip about what Live does anyways.

First, I’m surprised someone was actually critical on the FoL FB page.
Secondly, I just knew they’d play the rained out setlist. They weren’t the headliners for that other festival, but I’ve grown accustomed to them not giving a little more when a little more is due. It’s sad, especially when they are so young and still could be vital, even if it means riding the coattails of 90’s nostalgia (and that’s okay right now). They’ve made it so no one gives a rip about this except a dozen of us who keep sticking around for the little they do give us. I’m now sort of expecting when the June tour starts Hold Me Up won’t even be in the setlist and that’s all I’m asking for at this point. I went back and read the “Desires for 2019” thread the other night. It’s funny what I was hoping for. Now, it’s just “Hold Me Up” live this summer and now I’m doubting.
