From this review of yesterday's show in Austin:
Ultimately it was the hammock-centric moments that defined the performance. Westerberg returned to the prone position for the ramshackle ballad “If Only You Were Lonely,” and remained there for the definitive number “I Will Dare,” with bassist Tommy Stinson joining him in the hammock halfway through. They struggled to keep playing but made it through the song, finally rolling out onto the stage together at the end and laughing hard through it all. “We’re just trying this out for Europe, you see,” Westerberg explained.
