Obviously the media isn’t solely responsible, but I’m sure Absurd being received as “wtf” by most people didn’t help. Whats more well received and generates more revenue- New music that is inevitably going to be subject to harsh criticism or to just keep running the “legacy” tour? Most ppl at these shows probably just want to hear Appetite and some of UYI anyway.
They’ve refreshed the set the best they can without adding new music…
locomotive, coma, soyl, reckless life, dead horse, a CD deep cut here, etc… I call that improvement if you compare it to the sets from 2010 to 2014.
