Are they drastically changing things up every show? No, but they aren't just live recitals either.
Second half of this is rez, and is definitely got extra rick-ishness on it:
And what's that? the vocoder's back for cowgirl?
The upcoming warehouse gig will really confirm this, but I think they're running a cut-down static setlist for the festival sets and then expanding unexpectedly for their own shows (rijksmuseum for example). It's a lot harder to go afield when you've got 7 albums of material to cover in 90 minutes than just 2 or 3.
Sure I'd like to see more mixing between songs, but they aren't just hitting play either.
