Songs Played in the Acoustic Set 2014 - 2015
For the 2014 - 2015 Summer Tours, DMB experimented with two-set shows that started earlier and stopped having traditional openers. Personnel would vary from song-to-song and set-to-set. This is a look at how the songs that were played "acoustic" in the first set.

It stands out that most of the songs were played either in one set or the other compartmentalizing the setlists, especially in 2015.
