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.

what you don't understand is that "hardcore fans" that are let down are like what, 5% of the crowd nowadays?? just give a look to instagram,fb,twitter, all the people that goes to a bj concert is not even aware of jon's struggles, forget about if they care if cadillac man it's played or if there's a medley in the middle of bad medicine. Now, put his clothes on and try to think about the business, would you play those setlists and make 95% of the people there happy or play some rarities for the 5% of the crowd risking to absolutely botch them and to let all the others unhappy?? by the numbers they are doing good, all arenas are full, the critics have never been so soft with them, they are playing it safely and from an economic pov right now it is the right choice...then, we are 2 guys discussing in a bj forum that matters less then 0 in a 30 date tour, that's the truth...i'd like to hear the entire these days album played every night with demos from nj and b sides from ktf but who would care about them?? those 20 people that are costantly writing in this forum and that's all. About the prices, keith urban costs around 200$ and it's not even the best seat...we're talking about a global market that is costantly rising up the prices, not bj
