Right now there are only 7 songs different from the 2013 tour. That's unacceptable. It shows how much Stevie and Lindsey are stuck in their ways, and frankly how little time and effort they spend preparing for these tours. With so much of the same, they'll be sleepwalking through the songs.
I sometimes think they are too used to performing well-worn songs because they can sleepwalk; it's easier. Why should I try to breaking in these new stiff shoes, when my old shoes are just comfortable and familiar? My identity is defined by this style.They expect me to look this way. I might upset and confuse them if I wear something different.

Aren't they just pleasing a particular fan mindset that might want them to stay stuck in their ways?

"They have to play this song or I won't be happy."
"This song has to follow this other song."
"This song has to open the show."
"They should't perform this song; doesn't translate."
