Like a previous poster stated, they don't owe us a damn thing. yet, they still give us what we want. New albums and tours.

I'm not sure anyone here is saying that he band "owes" us anything. In my case, I just want to point out that I would definitely be going to more shows per tour if the setlists were more varied. This is probably the case with most hipbasers, but we're a niche market. The majority of attendees at a concert would never consider going to more than 1 show per tour so it's not like the band is losing any money by not varying their setlists.

The whole topic of "fan entitlement" is well covered in the Billy Corgan Q interview posted in another topic. Its well worth the listen.
