The Evolution of a Tour

In general, when would you say the best point in a tour is to catch a show?
I can't imagine going out and playing night after night without complacency and homesickness at some point beginning to affect the quality of the product.
I would imagine that in the beginning, there are still some kinks to work out as each of the songs evolve and that probably keeps it fresh. Then, there are probably shows that are special because of location/venue that artists just really look forward to...

I've noticed that bands will absolutely throw DOWN in some random town on a random night. Blessed are the few type deal...
With Panic, the mantra goes "never miss a Sunday show..." they really will go all out on Sundays for whatever reason.
I'm sure other bands have similar philosophical styles about when and where they bring the heat. Some bands just like certain towns more than others...Phish fans know the can't miss stops on their tours.
Venues are key...watch any band at Tips, Red Rocks or Wanee...you get the feeling they REALLY want to be there. It's nice because you know crowd and band are on same page. Intensity is most definitely heightened!
It's a great feeling knowing you get your money's worth.

A show just at the start after a new album comes out tends to suck, unless you have bought the new album and lisened to it.
My example for that was Springsteen, caught him early on in the tour for Magic and wasn't impressed, caught him at the end of the same tour and the show was great.
First show at MSG and the second at Met Life

You always want to see a rock show in the smallest, most oacked venue with the youngest crowd. The enthusiasm is what bands feed on and then they give it back. It just builds and builds to amazigness. I would rather see a band like Cage the Elephant in a backed to the gills little dive with 100 18-21 year olds than in a half-ful 8000 seat arena with an older crowd.

I've seen quite a few shows on Adele's current tour thanks to Periscope.
She's a little more than halfway through her world tour, but just started the U.S. Leg. This kind of gave her a renewed energy, as she had kind of settled in after 50+ dates.
She really killed it at Glastonbury a few weeks ago as well.
She hits that high note on "When We Were Young" about half the time. She's not invincible.
The only problem is that even though she's great with the audience, she gets a bit chatty and tends to go on, wanting to know the life story of seemingly everyone. She could add a couple more songs.
I have tix to see her in Dallas in November, when she has less than ten shows left, so I fear that she will just be mailing it in looking forward to the end of the tour.
She has also never finished a tour.
In 2008, she preferred to stay home and get drunk with her boyfriend, and in 2011 she had to cut her your short for vocal chord surgery.
