They are neither good enough musicians to rehearse and nail exceptional numbers of songs and the screens are so much part of the show that they can't suddenly wander off down the road of say i threw a brick/a day without me because it will throw the whole circus act out. Nor are they interested in rehearsing such numbers of songs - well one of them isn't he's more interested in getting on a plane to texas apparently.

Originally posted by deanallison:I understand the disappointment to an extent around this potential Setlist, although I think people need to scale back the criticism a bit til we know for sure what we’re getting opening night. I don’t get the criticism towards playing SOI songs though. I think because in this new set they’ve taken the place of wild horses and acrobat that’s what’s annoyed people but in reality these are some of the bravest picks on the Setlist and could easily have beeen disregarded for even more hits given the number of SOE songs that will already be in there. For me I’ll be a bit disappointed if they don’t play acrobat and wild horses on opening night, but I still couldn’t criticise the band considering the number of new songs in the set. However, if they play these 2 along side what was rehearsed last night that will turn it all round, I’m either going to be satisfied or delighted.
Originally posted by CMIPalaeo:Eh, I don’t care. You ALL knew that the chances of either of those songs masking it to the actual show are slim, and besides, just because they weren’t in what was a shortened run through of a possible set doesn’t mean they’re gone for good.
The Iris to UTEOTW sequence was probably the highlight of 2015, though I could understand ditching SFS and SBS. Still, SOI and SOE were always intended to go together, so being mad about seeing SOI songs in the set is just kind of... weird. I guess this is the first time since Lovetown where a new tour had more songs from the last album than just two or three...
