USA got pretty standard setlists & then germany and england got absolutely unreal ones.

It's a two year world tour, if they play all 100 tracks in the first 3 months, there aren't any surprises left!

first time they played Lay your hands on me & Something for the pain this tour, people were loving it & now people don't even seem to care...
I'm not saying the current shows aren't good, from all I've heard they're phenomenal. But something has happened which hasn't happened since 1990 to this extent: The setlists have become absolutely predictable, plus they keep on repeating the same songs over and over rather then trying something else.
Yes, I respect them for "Homebound Train" and "Something For The Pain", but have you seen the first setlists? Compared to them the current ones are a total letdown - I'm talking only about setlists, not the actual show.
But even in the US are many diehards who want to hear the songs that Europe usually gets, and the thing is, one or two of them per show doesn't turn the casuals down, if performed with passion.

I'm still being pretty excited to see them, of course, no matter what the setlist will be, it'll be great!
