A competent live set built around familiar songs; its late run of hits gives the sequence a lift, but the closer after that run weakens the landing.

What we noticed

  • The 17-song set opens with “Horizon,” “Distance” and “Take Care of You,” then moves through newer material before bringing in older hits late.
  • “Apologize,” “Love Runs Out” and “Counting Stars” arrive consecutively near the end; “Wild Life” follows them as the closer.

Influence 2/10

Little footprint beyond its audience. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
