When you got him to play a verse from WATL, you asked him the night before. He said "No" right? Then, did he just surprise you with it the next day? I know some people might wish FM were like Dave Matthews with their concerts...every night a new show.

no, he was probably hoping we'd give up. but we kept putting signs up the whole show with WATL as a request. you can see him in one of the videos from that night, when the encore time came and we yelled for WATL, a friend of mine said "do at least one line!", he points towards something on the stage in front of him (t-shirt with WATL verses) and asks "one line of... what?" and points towards the shirt. then he just starts singing it. so he did it because we wouldn't get of his case. when he was done, you can see him waving his head like "can't believe they just made me do this".
i've seen more than 10 different bands in concert last year. practically every one of them mixes their setlist a bit. it's not just Bruce. not just Dave Matthews. or Grateful Dead. some mix up their setlist more, some less. but they all change it somewhat from show to show, and they all gave a great fully polished show, it's not like their performances were crappy (like what i've heard of GD). some bands change between playing 2 different albums in full on consecutive nights.
