No, because then they'd not be playing arenas but they'd be places the same size as Lindsey's solo stuff.

And, I'd have no problem whatsoever with that. But since that's not the case, I really wish they’d quit trying to sex up their "artistic merit" in the process. It’s bogus, especially after I've seen first hand actual people who live by the artistic values Lindsey has claimed over the years.

The fact is that all these indie bands can get away with playing different setlists because of their fanbase and playing different and less obvious setlists is expected by the fans. At the same time, the vast majority of FM concert goers are going to hear a load of songs that they remember from 25 or 30 years ago. That leaves us getting unchanging setlists and diehards feeling short-changed but it's what they'll do until the day they stop touring.

You know, Lindsey gave the "Time" band **** for being an oldies act. In fact, he also said that Christine and Stevie appeared to be more like lounge acts with the solo shows. So, does this officially make him a hypocrite? I think so. It seems that he's written a lot of checks his balls can't cash. Welcome to oldies/irrelevant status Lindsey. Steve Perry will take your jacket...
