I find it quite irritating when North American fans complain about a boring set list because they have seen the band half a dozen times over the past decade. Think of the Australians and the Kiwis/New Zealanders who missed out completely in 2013. For me and many others, that would have been the first time ever that we saw the band and they had even included two brand new songs and an old people comedy routine in the 2013 set list.
Unlikely now that I will ever hear Sad Angel or Without You performed live in front of my eyes!
I agree that the set list should be changed like it was for the second or third leg of Say You Will Tour in 2004 with additions like Red Rover, Don't Let me Down Again and the elusive Destiny Rules.
Great swaps or additions for 2015 would be Hold Me, Angel, Brown Eyes and Big Love performed as a group like the album version rather than the one man band version done in 1997, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2013 and 2014. If Christine's return really is so profound, the least Lindsey could do is sing Big Love with her and Stevie.
It seems highly unlikely, but two new songs as done in 2013 would also be welcome additions or swaps. The two titles that seem to get bandied about a lot for Christine in interviews are Too Far Gone and How I Feel, for Lindsey it is Red Sun and Carnival Begin. Stevie's only new song title I know of is My Mother's Rings but The Dealer or Lady would be a welcome addition to the 2015 set or could replace one of her more sedate and overused tunes.
