It's quite strange to expect drastic setlist changes from a man who answers to questions in interviews the same way for 40 years or something
For Mark to answer different questions there should be other questions, for him to play different setlists there should be another audience.
And sure enough, on more intimate shows (Boothbay, 09/09/09, Private Bank show, Volkswagen premiere, etc.) you get a new setlist
People don't ask for drastic changes, not many bands do that anyway, people just want mere changes. Just shuffling the usual suspects would make my day, I remember in 2013 when instead of Sultans he played Gator Blood, it felt like the earth was shaking... litteraly.
The way I see it, the set changes wouldn't have to be big to provoke a big response from fans. A song swap, more song from the last record, nothing extraordinary.
The second problem is when a setlist is established, as most of us here go to more than one concert (me not really) we expect minor but repeated changes to keep the concert fresh. It used to happen more in the past, in 2013, in 2001: Then you could have two or three rotating songs and the occasionnal "new" song :5.15 Am, Back to Tupelo, Dream of the..., I dug up a diamond, etc
Now it's quite repetitive and after the excitement of the first dates (if your lucky enough to have been to those) the show loses songs and settles in a routine. If you are among the one attending later show you supposedly get the best Mark and Band musicwise, which remains to be proven, but you don't have the few surprises, namely silvertown which would have been more than enough to make me happy, Heart full of holes, Brothers in arms, Telegraph, Nobody does that... Some people got 3 or 4 of those, other none and nothing else instead
rant over
I'm fine
