It makes all the bootlegs and collecting and purchasing a bit staler than maybe it should be...
That being said i am a spoiled NJ resident who gets to see them all the time so i can understand how your shows rocked...
Glad you enjoyed them - as ive said they are the best band in the world...just like to see more of it  !

I think them reintroducing songs this tour that they haven't played for years (original Bed Of Roses and Always, Drift Away, Hey God, One Wild Night, Blood Money), playing songs they've never played live before that aren't new songs (Open All Night), and playing some songs that have only be played a few times before (Garageland, Miss Fourth Of July) is pretty impressive, and not exactly them sticking to the same pool of songs.
They're not and never have been the kind of band to play almost all of their songs every once in a while, since the very beginning they've tended mainly to focus on 5 - 7 songs from each album, which brings the amount of songs they're now likely to play quite a bit smaller than 125 .... possibly more around 100 or so. And 65 out of those 100, quite a few of which they probably won't have played or even thought about for years, ain't so bad IMO
