And they immediately changed the set list to include songs the audience would know...
And it was at that moment, they all decided never to do too many songs the audience did not know...

Silly as it is... It seems like they have never moved from that stance.

Does anyone remember this interview?

Its not silly though. We, the diehard fans, would probably love to hear deep album tracks and new songs. Many of the concert goers though want the hits and just the hits. I saw Mac on the Say You Will tour in Madison WI. When a Say You Will song was being played, you could see lines of people heading for concessions/restrooms. Every single time. That has to be really hard to take when you're playing your new stuff that you're really excited about.
