The other songs were much longer the second time.
As for not having a new album, that didn't bother me either. Lots of classic rock artists tour these days without an album. Billy Joel hasn't put out a new album since 1992 and has toured nearly every year since then and sells out every show and they are great. Elton John is another who tours regularly without an album.
I thought the shows I saw (both Mohegan Sun shows) were the best Mac shows I've ever seen (previous tours were 1990, 1997 and 2004). Wouldn't have changed a thing.
I agree, the tourbooks have been so crappy lately (thanks to chris nicks no doubt) that I would rather they not have them.....I went to the show in Arizona and got the all access pass which I thought was well worth it, and the show was awesome. I guess most bands are going with the all access passes now vice presales for fan club members....
