OK, I think we see eye to eye on the stagnant setlist for the last 20
years. I agree, time for a revamp!

Inflation doesn't cut it when its hovered between 2-3% over the past 20
years and ticket prices have spiraled out of control over the past 5 years.
This is all Clear Channel's doing I'm afraid. I'm not sure where you were
sitting for $90 but I saw tix easily costing approx. $200 Cdn each
for floors in Toronto.
Of course ticket prices go up over time but now they're outta control
now and beyond the reach of the average fan. My argument is more about value
for money and quality of the show itself. I got more out of the 1994 concert
even though some of the songs on the setlist were re-hashed from his 1987
concert. I didn't care that the ticket cost more money, I just got
bummed over time that I was listening to practically the same
setlist over and over with the new album songs in
between.
