I disagree. Most on here would fall over themselves or a set like that but this community probably doesn't represent even 1% of those attending the shows. The sad truth is that whilst we love to hear the likes of Hey God, Dry County, (It's Hard) Letting You Go and the others you mention the vast majority who attended the shows would be bored senseless and fidgeting waiting for the "hit", or simply wouldn't bother buying a ticket if they knew they weren't going to hear Prayer et al.

They could probably pack out a tight venue at high prices for a hitless show of raritites (which would be something to experience).
