I was thinking about that last night, too. I wondered if the great song variation from the first third of the tour was duty to the band members - remember some strange decisions... Prairie Wedding was played on time, Done With Bonaparte was also played only twice... maybe they were allowed to utter wishes and Mark promised them to play them - I know it is an honour to play with Mark live on stage but really, sometimes I think, it must be very tough for Glen and Richard to play TR, SAN, WII, SFA the bazillionth time. I really cannot understand until today how Mark can be THAT unflexible when it comes to set lists. Comfort zone and safety net, yes, but... I am very happy with 5.15 A.M. from this tour though, it is worth the more as you know that from London on, things got more and more static...
