It was odd, yeah. I've talked about this before but seeing 20 shows between 2003 and 2013 in North America, the Richie songs got more of a piss break than the new material. Part of me thinks they/Jon didn't want to risk it because they were playing literally half of an unreleased album already. Whether or not that's the case who knows but for all we know Richie could have been okay with the decision. It feels like people are getting offended FOR him without really knowing why the decision was made and if it was right/wrong. I was gutted he didn't get a song that tour but looking at the setlist it makes sense to me.
