I respect Jon's right to pick whatever songs he thinks works in a sterile football stadium but there are a couple of things that I just don't understand at the moment about the sets:

1. One venue gets 27-28 songs one night and another gets 23. This is unfair. I can understand a 1-2 song difference if band into it, crowd good etc but 5-6 sing difference is wrong it treats certain fans and towns as second class.

2. The lack of WAN songs and prominence of Lost Highway songs. Don't understand why they won't play songs off new album.

3. Insistence on the belief that we still want to hear songs like Sleep When I'm Dead and Who Says instead of Hey God, I Believe, Never Say Goodbye, Something to Believe In, etc. some songs have really outstayed their welcome.
