I have said it before WATS tour was not like this!

Yea, they dusted off quite a few gems on that tour: Thugs, The Bear, The Rules, Pigeon Camera, Long Time Running, Thompson Girl, Daredevil, Flamenco, Looking for a Place to Happen, and Don't Wake Daddy...just to name a few. I think what was mentioned in the Bobcaygeon thread is probably correct. They're currently shooting a documentary and they probably need to play the same hits-laden setlist for a few shows just so they can get the best take of each song in the film. I have no doubt whatsoever that when they tour the new album later this year (hopefully it's that soon) they'll get back to switching up the setlist like they always do. Hell, they might even start switching it up as early as the next show. I'm looking forward to finding out. Regardless of all the bitching about the setlist, the venues, the beer lines, etc... (and I've been guilty of it myself), I just love that this forum is all a buzz and we're all getting excited for the Hip again. New songs, new album, new tour. This is what I live for. I've been listening to this band for over 20 years now, and I'm just thankful that they're still making new music and kicking ass in concert. I hope they never stop.
