Simon Dawson is the new drummer

[Azas]

Yeah, many of the classic songs are somewhat shorter. I'd say there's definitely a chance setlist to be 16-17 songs.

You have to consider that certain tours have more songs on them because the set was made out of shorter songs. Half of the songs in TFP were almost 10 minutes long.

TFP's set, despite being 15 songs, was longer than any other set from post 2000 (If we don't count the annomalies from the Brave New World tour).

If you prefer hearing the songs as they were originally recorded, then you must dislike Nicko playing Clive’s parts.

Yup.

Clive had better drum tone as well.

The situations are different and ofc every drummer will bring something of their own style/feel to the playing. People want a good job while staying fairly true to the original recording. I assume.

Yup.
Clive had better drum tone as well.

I like them both, Nicko a little more probably, but Clive's style was perfect for some songs. Better drum tone? I can't say. Clive's distinctive. I love Nicko's.
