i just didn't want to feel 'wrong' for critiquing the live shows from an mega-fan point of view. As a mega-fan, its sad to see the live show slip into convention.
They tried this once before awhile back. I forget exactly when, but it was received the exactly the same way. Starty-stoppy songs, in an expected set list. Blah.
And I'm not convinced by this whole 'album promotion' tour as a reason to play the same set. They play the east coast of the US once or twice every 3 years. Its not like they'll be back around in January and then we'll get the more showy show. This is the show we get.
Disclaimer: the points above are just observations. i'm still thrilled as hell to see them live again.

sorry for stating the fucking obvious .....its a work habit
i think they are trying to do album promotion in the uk and europe hence the radio1 ibiza,itunes,a "press" show at the forum,"we are one" in berlin etc but i see what your saying about the states...just have to wait and see i suppose?
