What's left?? 99,breakout and soul are known by 4 people, it would make those 1k people in the arena happy but leave unsatisfied casuals,it can't bč the solution( might be for a night, what about the next one?)... What i'm trying to say is that the songs that he can really pick to make casuals and diehards happy( want It or not but songs like sleep and wgigo can be fun at a concert) and that can bč sang(or at least not completely botched) by jbj are those 30 that are played today...he might variate 3-4 at night like u said but It won't change Pretty much anything

Get where you're coming from but I disagree. If he's conditioning fans to like the songs he does by playing the non hits tour after tour after tour then sure. But there are album cuts not being played. Joe Q doesn't know Whole Lot of Leaving. Big fan Does. Whole lot of Leaving gets played for 10 years and Big Fan leaves. Joe Q probably won't see them again, Big Fan would. Swap out Whole Lot with another album cut and the people who have gone again and again are happy, the public doesn't know better and no one is walking away going "Jeez, really expected WLOL I'm bummed out". Taking those songs out of rotation won't have 1/10th the same reaction as dropping Bad Medicine.
You can't honestly tell me with a straight face vocal troubles are the reason he doesn't sing Novocaine, Everybody's Broken, Mystery Train etc. We're not asking for rare songs, we're talking about different songs.
