They finished a 4 concert run in Brussels and literally the only thing that changed was that Don't Panic replaced Let Somebody Go one of the nights, and Green Eyes replaced Magic in another gig. Wow.

Nowadays most bands play same setlists night after night. Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Radiohead (if they'll ever play again...) and a very few others are exceptions these days.

That's not a new phenomenon. Bands/artists used to play more or less the same set wach show when on tour since touring started, that even included most jazz musicians (when not playing clubs for days in a row).
Changing the set reguarly, as some /very few bands do, is the rather new phenomenon, I think.
It amazed me a lot back then, that , as far as I know, no show on The Joshua Tree - Tour in 1987 and on the Lovetown Tour shared the same setlist (might be wrong on this). At least all the tapes in my collection featured different sets.
