Full album performance featured

The group spent the first two-thirds of the show playing all fourteen songs from Taking the Long Way. They also provided commentary between tracks to explain the events that shaped the record.

Band discusses past controversy

Natalie Maines addressed the 2003 incident regarding her comment about President George W. Bush during the set. The trio treated this specific moment as an anomaly rather than a sign of future lengthy speeches.

Grammy sweep highlighted

The concert marked two decades since the album won five Grammys including record and song of the year. Fans who know the band as personalities found these personal asides welcome during the tour.
