Sure I'd love to see them mix it up, but frankly if you're not at the concert it doesn't affect you whatsoever. Jon is not entitled to play your dream set at every show, he can play what he wants and the arenas will still be sold out to the rafters regardless. You all bitch and moan over everything, either the set list is bad or his voice is bad or the recording cleans up his voice too much so it sounds fake. No matter what they do, y'all always have to complain. Just enjoy the concert if you go. I had a blast in Greenville this year and I plan on doing the same in Phoenix in 2 weeks. Not many bands anymore do a 2 and a half hour show.

But you're coming to a board with a handful of posts telling people that have been discussing the band for 15 years on here to change how they are. It absolutely affects me if the setlist doesn't change tour to tour because tickets are expensive and if I'm getting the same songs and the new ones that is going to determine if I'm paying to go. Sure the tickets will sell good if I'm there or not but that shouldn't take away our right to have a problem with a stale setlist being reused.
We're not taking away the fun people have at the shows nor are we criticizing for people going for the sheer joy of going. I wish I was able to plunk down that money but once you see a band 20+ times you start wanting something different and we're in the absolute minority.
