I also wonder if this is some sort of twisted fan service? Maybe they wanna make sure that there aren't any catastrophic failures or rough spots that don't work to ruin a more casual fan's experience? Most people seeing their shows aren't gonna be religiously keeping up with them, so they won't have had the show spoiled for them on youtube either way.

More than anything, i'd like to know WHY they are doing the mostly static show. I could live with a static setlist, if the tracks were getting developed and were seeing more variety. I could also live with songs not really changing a whole lot, if the tracks on the setlist were being rotated a bit more. It doesn't even need to be rotated on the fly, for that matter, just surprise us a few times a tour. Dirty club, faxed invitation, and juanita were good additions, but why not drop even ONE unexpected song per show? I mean off the top of my head some songs that would be VERY well received and fit in the current set: Cups (hell, even just pens), most anything off AHDO, crocodile/BB, best mamgu, Glam Bucket, or any of tracks from the river run series.

at this point i'd be excited if karl simply stuck some new lyrics in somewhere, like he did that one time with 'resonator' during the the opening of rez...
