I mean -and here we go again with the same story of last week
-, it is known that a high part of the audience (I'd personally rate it between a 50-80% depending on the artist and the country) that attends a concert is not aware of setlists, rarities played here and there, tour premieres or b-sides. They're there just for the sake of being there, enjoy the music and the tunes they recognise, take a few photos and buy a poster. And, like it or not, artists perform for the whole audience. If they consider that a setlist/show structure works well, they're not much keen on changing it - and I understand them. I myself play in a band, and we do setlists according to what we like to play PLUS what we know our audience likes to hear. Of course, I'm talking of 50-100 people and not 30.000, but you get my point. PS. I didn't know you were such a big Police fan! Great to know. They're part of my life soundtrack, together with Dire Straits and U2, they're probably the 70s-80s band that have shaped me the most. Love them!
