An encore is a necessary buffer. The days when they'd do a 150-170 minute set with barely a pause between songs (as I remember, there's about 1 second of 'pause' in the European Club Gig bootleg's first 70 minutes) are gone I can't keep up with that now, and neither can they! I'd rather the last encore be something that isn't NUXX, but then, great as NUXX is, and it's always a belter live, it's pretty much their "Ace of Spades", and the crowd kind of have a deal, that they will be patient as long as they get "NUXX Of Spades" at the end.
