I imagine it's simply a safety issue. A beer-soaked, sloped floor in an over-crowded bar could cause lots of problems.

Nice thoughts on the show though.

Drink enough and the floor becomes sloped anyway.

I'm kicking myself…those setlists look PERFECT.

He was totally winging it by then:

* Had to restart a few times,
* He was giving the band clues to guess the next song - "How's this for a clue? ch, ch, ch?",
* He introduced Life on Mars with "we haven't played this one forever - take it for what its worth".

AWESOME segment.

I think something weirdly wonderful sometimes happens to bands when they come to Pittsburgh. It's no DC or NY - very little pressure. Musicians seem to pick up on that and often deliver stunningly relaxed performances.
