They did two shows last night (6:30 and 10:00). We saw the 6:30 show. They may have shortened the set due to having a second show. My best recollection of the setlist last night:
EEOM
DOAV
Entangled
ITQE/RA&B/Wot Gorilla
Ripples
Los Endos
Fountain of Samalcis
Stagnation
Can Utility
Firth of Fifth
Cinema Show/AOP
Encore: Supper’s Ready

We saw TMB tonight and were blown away. It was a great mix of songs superbly performed to a very appreciative audience. I’m biting my tongue resisting the temptation to talk about specific songs. Those guys are amazing. It was a fantastic evening.

Given the venue sizes it'd be amazing if they were.
Whether being a more peripheral fan = more drink/toilet breaks I don't know, possibly. Whatever the reason, it can get ridiculous. I'm sure there's partly an element of the "CONSUME! CONSUME!" urge. "A short walk away there's drink and food. I MUST HAVE SOME!" "Look there are people getting drinks. I MUST TOO!" Plus, over my decades of gig-going I've seen that regular combination of rock gig, men, beer. It's one of the fundamental laws of the universe. Lots of Rock Gig Blokes feel they are under an unbreakable contract to pour as much beer into themselves as possible at rock gigs.

I guess we got lucky at the show in DC. Once the concert started we didn’t have a single person in our row get up. In fact we were sitting along an aisle and I noticed just 2 or 3 people in our entire section sitting in rows above us walking by and coming back. There was a younger looking couple sitting above us who seemed to leave about half way through the show, but that’s about it. In the row right in front of us a young African-American gentleman (early 20s) sat alone and sang along to every song. Perhaps the fact that we were in the “cheap” seats (upper bowl, far end from the stage) made a difference in terms of people coming and staying for the entire show.

I feel your pain. When I see shows scheduled for the Tower theater in Philly (however famous and historic it may be), I shudder at the thought of driving, parking and walking in Upper Darby. Especially that "lovely" drive down Market street through west Philly - car jacking anyone?. Thankfully, his shows are all in the 'burbs this time around.
The first time I saw The Musical Box was at the Tower Theater some years ago. I drove up from the Lower Eastern Shore of Maryland and just as I got to Upper Darby a horrible windstorm came through and the power went out in the entire neighborhood. I must have broken the world record booking it by foot from my parking spot and the theater. Thankfully every show I’ve been to since then in Philly has been at the Keswick in a much nicer neighborhood.
