Default Why does Europe get badass setlists????

Here we are in the United States and we get nearly half of all the dates they play and with an exception of a few songs, little is changed. They hit Europe and right off the bat, kicking ass. Thats great and all, but I can't see them overseas. And why toward the end of the tour starting pulling out amazing songs, why not all the way through the tour?

Having been to shows in the US, Canada, and Europe, the crowds are just completely different. For the most part, the US audience is much more of a "hits" audience and have short attention spans. A lot of the US fans don't even know Blood On Blood which for us is a known song. Plus, not to diss my own country but the crowds overseas are soooooo much more enthusiastic and also they stay around for all songs, none of this getting food, or beers or in and out for the bathroom.

I just think the band knows that what flys in the US in regard to set list, for the most part, doesn't fly overseas.

Well I think its down to JT, most JTers are European and are known for not accepting anything BJ produces as good..... so BJ have to pull out all the stops to impress us, so only the best will do

This is obviously my European half speaking....

Dawn

Ps my yank half says BJ give your best back home to.... maybe they truly believe Amercians require different setlists to be happy....

this is true

no seats means you have to stay put or you lose your spot! so less going to the toilets during not so well known songs. plus no sitting down which can be a drainer
