Lost Highway, Whole Lot of Leaving, We Got It Going On are all being played in 2018 from an album that came out in 2007. That's 11 years of those songs being included in most setlists from an album not even being promoted.

There's no reason why non essential songs can't be swapped out with other non essential songs. There's a back catalouge of rockers that would give Jon the opportunity to interact with the crowd that could replace WGIGO easily. Yeah the album sold well in America but as far as singles go, none of those are ones that people are going to the show in dire need of being included. I'm all for a balance of keeping people happy but the same songs in the setlist tour after tour means less people come back. I don't buy the "well the arenas are full so who cares" mentality. Their fanbase is already dwindling, if the hardcore fans drift away you're left with casual fans are getting harder and harder to attract.
