Haha brilliant.

Only Lonely is absolutely an ulta-rare song even though it's a single. At those point 90% of the people are there for Slippery forward. It's not a song that the casuals are going to know. The 10% diehards will.

The rare songs lasted like 3 shows not because Jon got bored but because the audience did. I applaud them for throwing so many rarities into a tour but with the amount of album cuts that weren't hits, the songs from the first few records, Jon leaving the stage for Homebound Train (also an album cut that was on a huge album but isn't going to get as big a reaction especially with someone else singing) a These Days track PLUS all the new songs? That's our dream but piss break after piss break for the casuals. Had it been done a little better I could have seen it lasting longer in the tour.

EDIT: BUT I'm talking North America. Europe and Japan is the wild west and they can pull that off. Doing it in America is a bold choice.
