While I agree with you that The Circle tour was awesome... especially mixing it up with acoustic SFTP and Richie's Homebound Train. I disagree that the first few shows of the WAN tour were boring... yeah, they played a lot of the WAN stuff, but for the most part that's a good thing. I'd much rather hear Army of One, I'm With You, and What's Left of Me than Work, WWWB, and Lost Highway... especially on the WAN tour. Not to mention they played Wild is the Wind the first few shows! By the time I got to see them, they were only playing the weakest songs from WAN (with the exception of Water)... it was just the Circle Tour, but without any of the special moments list above.
Everyone complains about the first few shows and I just don't get it. Granted, I wasn't there, but on paper I'd take those shows in favor of the later American arena tour set lists.
