My comments were primarily from a financial point of view. When I go to multiple shows of a band I want to ensure my money is well spent and I am getting value for my money. I want to be entertained and if the songs that my favourite band play are the catalyst to determine the number of shows that I go to then I want my money to be maximized by hearing as many songs as possible. I would never expect any band with say 130 songs to play them all on a tour. That would be ridiculous. I just think the ticket prices are far too high this tour and if I was to go to multiple shows I would still be happy that I saw the Hip for the XXX number time but I wouldn't necessarily say that way the best show ever and that I was happy that I spent $100+ for that ticket. On the other hand if tickets were $30-40 each I would say that each show that I go to was well worth it. I don't think any band in this day can ever satisfied a fan that has seen "everything".

I do however think the past tours were far more interesting ...

2009: two sets with an three song acoustic set
2007: Cover tunes
2000: Best damn tour ever - two sets

In all of those tours I feel I got tremendous value for my money. I loved each and every show I went to.
