I think it's fair to say that they are really on autopilot now - I cannot blame them for it. The question is if ANY band can keep up with this schedule...
I mean it is talk about lower scale and everything but still, 60 shows, almost everytime 5 in a row, at some time there have to be any losses... So the set is stable now and I guess not very much thought is given to it anymore. They are in the sun now, playing only outdoor gigs, they enjoy now. Still on a very high level, according to the reviews of the attendants. It is right what was said about 2010, same phenomenon, shorter sets (Cordoba, Gredos 14 songs played, no set-list changes at all)
What made me more angry was what I heard the last days, can't remember where: Mark saying: "Shouting is good. It's a good therapy, not that I take notice..." referring to the "bequests". Quite arrogant if you ask me. Let them ask, maybe it heals them, (which means they are ill?)
Plus Guy Fletcher's forum answers all lately lack some respect to the people that make his forum exist - they are his guests after all. So I think they are on cloud 10 now, feeling very superior after all those auiences spending so much applause, and maybe they need some time to get back on earth post-tour... All those lines about catering and the grand hotels somewhat gets boring, whereas Guy still did not manage to deliver some entries about the technical aspects of the stage/instruments/tour etc. that has been asked for in the forum more than once...
