How many songs they should change? Well, hard to say, but at least more than five songs in five years...
First of all - they made some changes in some songs a long time ago, Temple Of Love, Anaconda, First And Last And Always etc. I think those changes should not last for ever. Also the medleys Train/Detonation Boulevard and On The Wire/Teachers. It was cool and a hell of a kick when they started playing Wire/Teachers 18 years ago. But i think if you must play the same songs all over then maybe they could do something new with them to keep it fresh and up to date. If you see what I meen?
I am also pretty sure that the fans would go crazy if they went to see them and they played Lights. And Nine While Nine. And Some Kind Of Stranger. Lucretia My Reflection (without stopping after half the song), More ( a longer and proper version), Adrenochrome, Possession, Gimme Shelter.....
Since they are no longer releasing more records they could make each tour unique.
Thanks for you reasonable suggestions to which I can agree way easier than to mere approachful complaints ...
Still you seem to ignore that there have been lots of changes already with songs in the setlist that were
not heard for decades ... there has - for example. been a Dr Jeep/Detonation Boulevard medley (in Tilburg)
which was in fact great.
As I see it, The Sisters develop continuously and so does their setlist ...
New songs were of course just w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l ... and perhaps a few more of the old ones
were great as well. On the other hand, those audiences The Sisters are going to play to next
might be looking forward to hearing what they have been performing so far THIS year ...
For the next tour, they will have to think their concept over, IMHO, but for now, it's just enormous
what they've already achieved. And that should not be lost sight of or belittled in the course
of those apparently inevitable and never ending demands and complaints ...
