Fall Tour 2018 - warewolf95's selected highlights

 My recap/favorites of Fall 2018

stars (*****) denote an amazing "FULL SHOW" experience. Every show of the tour was excellent but some shows are better cherry-picked than sat through if you are wondering where to head first. Besides that, this is my highlights list of, in my opinion, the tracks best worth revisiting from the tour

Get ready for hyperbole. Here's my Idiot Notes for Fall 2018 direct from my personal notepad file
