Longer is definitely not always better, I saw Green Day play about 3 hours a few years ago, and I'm not the biggest Green Day fan and thought it was just wayyy too much... they basically played the same set as they had played the same full show they had done on the American Idiot tour, and then added in a bunch of new songs and some more old songs on top of it... they really should've cut some stuff out instead of just adding and adding. I would've rather they came out and just gave it their all for 12 songs.

Venue: Gotta say Massey Hall. Amazing sound anywhere you sit. Great hometown crowd too.
Song: Probably a tie between Picture and Everyone's a Junkie. I think Picture as an opener was just so beautifully done, with Joel running the different sound loops, Steve's keys on the Rhodes, and Jeremy's use of the mallets, combined with Raine bringing that acoustic riff in, was just amazing. Not to mention the lighting and backdrop were awesome. Everyone's a Junkie had Steve doing some fantastic stuff playing feedback, and the rest of the band doing what they do best. It's a song that I hope they'll bring back in at some point.
Tour: '06 Paranoid Times tour. I think the sets were awesome, and the new approach to some of the older songs (Clumsy's new intro/outro, Superman's Dead with the extended finish to the main set) made for great shows.
Additional stats:
Live debuts: Will The Future Blame Us?, Angels/Losing/Sleep, Kiss On The Mouth, Time Bomb, Monkey Brains, Heavyweight, Allowance, Fire In The Henhouse, Find Our Way, As Fast As You Can, If This Is It
Biggest Setlist: 24 songs (Clumsy nights in Toronto and London)
Smallest Setlist: NYE in Niagara Falls
Total Catalog songs: 76
Song heard the most: Clumsy/Innocent/Superman's Dead 23x
