    That was something!

    5% of 20.000 is still 1.000 people in every city that see multiple shows. I don't have the actual numbers, it's probably a bit more, but I don't think 5% is that far of..

    But still to play a total of 92 songs accross 4 nights and only play 24 different songs is quite poor

    There’s no way of proving it I guess but I personally don’t believe that in a 20000 capacity venue as many as 19000 people haven’t seen the show already. I think maybe 15000 haven’t seen the show so maybe 25% each night have already seen it.
  7. Extremely poor, even by their standard. Would it kill to play SATS one night? Desire? Gloria? Electric co? These aren’t even that drastic. All played. I’ve tried to stay silent during the Europe tour. I hope everyone is enjoying these shows but I mean cmon. It’d be better to not even know the few interesting songs they rehearsed. Anyone aware of the extent they rehearsed them had to be slightly disappointed when none showed up during a 4 night stand. Anyway.... I hope everyone IS having a blast at these shows.

    Most people only attend 1 show...I really don't get all the whinging on this subject
  9. I understand the criticism about lack of rotation. Even though I’ve questioned the extent of the figures I would accept that all shows feature a majority of one time only attendees, not as big a majority as some suggest but a majority. However, if the band were to rotate you are going to hear very little or practically no complaints about the band rotating too much, the one time only attendees are none the wiser and the regular attendees get to see something different. On the other hand when they don’t rotate songs it’s inevitable that they will receive more complaints from the people who attend multiple shows. The band can’t cater to only the multiple show attendees but by having 3-4 rotation slots they would really do themselves a lot of favours in quieting down a bit of the criticism. Anyway I think it’s worth seeing it from both sides, I like the Setlist and I’ll enjoy seeing them twice even if they play the same Setlist or only change a song but I would say I’d enjoy the overall experience more if they were to have a couple more rotation slots and I got to hear more songs over the 2 nights, I don’t think that’s an unreasonable view.
  10. I’m sorry you don’t get. Most bands switch up 2-6 songs on multi night stands in one city. Even bands that aren’t known to switch their sets. Even u2 used to do this. And no ones whining. Just discussing the tour.

    No one is expecting a diff show one night to the next. But you’re right. 3-4 switched would be a nice nod to their die hard fan base who always attends multiple shows.

    well, in the end the critisism only comes from 'crazy' people that go to multiple shows. I don't think they should be too bothered about that. Actually I sort of like it that they don't give a f*** this time. They play new songs, they play Acrobat, there's not much too complain actually.
