I went to see 311 a few years back in Nola and I swear they played at least 3 hours!!
I was OVER IT...
Oh and Tracy Lawrence played about 25 minutes at the Texas Club once

sadly, it's becoming the norm. but for a band with as many songs and hits as them to not be able to play for at least 100 minutes is kinda pathetic, IMO.
I saw Foo Fighters in 2011 in Little Rock. Got on stage a little after 8:30 and played until just after midnight. Amazing show. Definitely got the $50 worth.
Only one I've been disappointed with is Incubus in Dallas in 2011 at Gexa (old Smirnoff). There was a pretty bad storm so they had to delay. Ended up playing 20 songs but they flew through most of them and on a few they would play the first half of one song and the second half of another. I saw Blink, who is notorious for playing fast as hell, and their set even felt longer.

Went to a Jane's Addiction show in '90 and they played about 7-8 songs. Perry Farrell went on a tirade because some meathead security guard hit a kid on the head with a stick (he was trying to get on stage and do a dive). They played "Stop" and walked off stage. No encore.
Granted, this was the Ritual tour, with Nothing's Shocking and Ritual to play songs from, and 7-8 songs.

Paul McCartney played Tulsa last night.
He started at 8:30 and ended at 11:30, played 46 songs total.
That's pretty impressive for a guy his age.
He played Tulsa both Wednesday and Thursday night. I assume the Wednesday night show was the same.

I had an experience that was sort of the opposite. I finally got to see GreenDay live in 2009 and they played for a very solid 2.5 hours. It was so awesome and couldn't believe it when they kept going on and on.
But yeah, shows just aren't that long anymore. I would say the average is a little over an hour and the longer ones being an hour and a half.
Also, I'll say I was slightly disappointed with what seemed like a pretty short Black Keys set at Jazz Fest. I thought they were great so it wasn't a big deal, but felt like they def could have gone longer.

Weezer, Vail Snow Daze a couple years ago. They headlined and only played 45 minutes. It was a free show, so I can't complain too much. And it was cold lol.

It was an hour and 15 minutes after 2 encores. And Daryl Hall doesn't exactly progress between songs quickly. Dude likes to talk and talk between

I saw Sam Kinison in 1989 on his "Outlaws of Comedy" tour, he did a set that I don't think was even a half hour long. That was pretty disappointing.

I would think it would be the other way around.

I think your the only person at the entire festival to say the keys had a good set. Sound was awful, energy low, and setlist identical to their last Nola show.
Wasnt the worst ever, but not good.
