It works though. The way he commands the crowd is very impressive and not an easy thing imo, it's taken years to perfect his method. Expecting him to achieve the same level of command of the crowd/crowd interaction and entertainment in a totally different way every time seems like kind of high expectations . He's more entertaining than 99.9% of frontmen and is famous for it, it's an amazing skill to put on a show like he does and I sometimes wonder if that's become taken for granted on here when it's all dismissed just because the type of show they do is a planned out one.
But for real there's more variation to Hitchin A Ride and KFAD performances than there is for any other song, so much randomness goes on and variations between tours. They do pretty much every other song exactly the same every show and every tour. But these are always the two picked on!
He was totally bringing the moans back in the last half of the Rev Rad tour (7:00)
