I'm tired of the excuses of why the setlists can't change from tour to tour. Forget about show to show. I completely agree if the setlist doesn't change from Denver to Las Vegas that's fine, less than one percent are probably going to both shows, but you've served up a whole plate of excuses of why Jon's not mixing it up. Worst of all the band, as always, are BRAGGING that they constantly change up the setlist to keep it fresh. Again, this is the same group of songs we've gotten for how many tours in a row? That isn't marketing.
If he wants to play the same 25-30 songs because that's all he can do he either has to a)stop saying they're pulling out songs they haven't done in years or b) accept that the hardcore fans will be let down and it's just not worth it to pay that much to see something again and a lesser quality.
