The last show, cut short without encores. The duo had been routinely performing 'Billie Jean' & 'Dance Me To The End Of Love' as encores but this time never returned to the stage.

Same taper as Leeds earlier in the year.

Taper comments: "The Civil Wars came out to an enormous welcome from a very enthusiastic sell out Sage crowd who had been treated to an energetic and very entertaining 45 minutes opening set by The Lumineers. I think most of the crowd really enjoyed the show and if you hadn't seeen them before it was very good. If you had seen them before you would have noticed that they didn't communicate or even look at each other throughout the set. Although the harmonies and individual banter were there they somehow lacked the chemistry and sensuality of earlier performances. Even though I had only seen them once before I had listened to many live performances - I suppose this is the curse and advantage of being part of the DIME commmunity. How many times have you seen a show and heard a lot of the stage dialogue already in shared recordings? 'Oh Henry' was interrupted by someone passing out near the front. They made no attempt to redo the song. They went off stage at about 57 minutes and stayed off despite several minutes of audience appeal for an encore. IMO a pitifully short set and a total lack of appreciation for a very enthusiatic audience throughout the show. I've left the applause in but the last few minutes are purely applause. Two days later they announced that because of 'internal discord and irreconcilable differences of ambition' they were unable to 'continue as a touring entity at this time.' The remainder of their shows were cancelled."
