E.g. 'Blaze Of Glory', 'Just Older', 'Wild In The Streets'

Sorry, but I don't consider Blaze even a mid-rarity. It was played virtually every night in the U.S. on the last tour. I like the song a lot and wouldn't care if it showed up now and then, but I don't think it is rare. Just Older was also played a fair bit over here on the last tour.

The crowds are loud and fun but they aren't very adventurous, these towns are just not deep catalog kinds of towns. They will accept the new stuff being played but for the rest they want stuff they know.

Yeah, I couldn't expect any different in a town like Denver. Wasn't expecting any rarities or anything, because during some of the already lesser-known songs they lost the crowd. They did Miss 4th of July here on the LH tour and the crowd was absolutely gone.

Being from Omaha, I have to say you hit the nail on the head. People shouldn't really expect anything too unusual on the set list tonight. Better to drive the crowd wild with what they want to hear than to play "unfamiliar" songs that puts them to sleep. And yes, we ARE loud and fun!

Says a lot when the biggest rarity in the set is a one minute long Free cover.

Last time I checked Whole Lot Of Leavin', Lost Highway and Sat. Night weren't hits. There's no excuse to keep on playing the acoustic version of Sat. Night, a song that was never released in the USA and therefore could be replaced by an acoustic uptempo song like In These Arms or Love For Sale which would go over way better than this boring rendition of Sat. Night no one cares about.

It hasn't been played at all this tour and before the last tour a pathetic acoustic version was done. Just because it was done a fair bit on the last tour doesn't necesarilly mean it's been done to death (I know you didn't say it but some others did in a seperate PBP thread).

WLOL and LH were and are popular here, especially where the band is touring now. I know all of you have these amazing sets in your minds and it would be fabulous to hear, for us, the diehards, but if you are Jon and you have to pick when and where to throw rareities in on top of the new stuff markets like Denver, Omaha, Witchita, Fargo are not those places.

If it's a hits kinda town, then replace WLOL or LH with HAND, Hallelujah with Always, and Sat Night accoustic with Lay you hands on me or Sleep when I'm dead and it's already a much better set....

[rainsong]

More changes to the set than I would have thought. Omaha was a good set though I can always live without ISWID!!!
Very nice to see NSG making an appearance I really hope someone got it. A duet on this sounds really cool to me!!
