Before the internet, the information wasn't just "out there" for all to see. So, as a fan, I think it's cool that I can follow the band on tour and see the set lists and hear people's experiences... But, there's no surprise. There's no excitement. There's no walking into a show and just being prepared to have a goodtime. If you know previous setlists, you're going in with a prejudice. Your show is either better or worse than another city's show and that absolutely affects how much you enjoy the show - because you have a gauge to compare it to. Before the internet and before it was so easy to share this info, that wasn't the case. It's the standard Catch-22. The internet is a great source of information but sometimees, the information is overload. If you dont' want to be disappointed by the setlist, stop reading other set lists. You're setting yourself up for disappointment. It's inevitable.
Dezza!! When did you start making points that I agree with?! Very well put.

True enough....

Paul_UK who we met in Wolves hadn't seen 1 setlist & was truly surprised with Richie singing solo.

It seems some of the regulars who wouldn't normally agree with me are agreeing with me on this. Wow - that's a new feeling!
The critiquing of set lists for shows you don't attend... other than "wow, that's a cool set list" or "too bad they didn't include my favorite the night I went" (and in that TONE) is perfectly normal. Hell, I wish I got to hear some of the songs that were played in Europe - but I didn't. I'm not in Europe. That's life. But will a throw a virtual temper tantrum online and badmouth the band if they don't play the songs I want to hear when I do see them this summer? No. It's the luck of the draw and if you can accept that that is part of the fun, great. If not, and you're let down, you only have yourself to blame. Not really the band.
