They change the setlist every night. 

Let’s fix the bands that don’t before moving on to PJ.

i know they change the setlist every night but there is normally 5/6 songs of ten on every show

I get what you are saying. You need to consider that not everyone is a die hard fan. Big big audiences at stadium shows and festivals.

that's all well and good but that is like me going to see REM in 2001 and expecting them to play the majority of MURMUR.  people shouldn't expect to hear just the hits from bands that aren't on the Legacy circuit.

Not a bad thing. I guess I would wish Deep and Garden hit the rotation more though

Ten is the album that put them on the map and has the songs that draws the casual fans to the shows.  We as the crazy die hards don't need 5-6 songs from ten but it's what needs to be played to keep the casual fans interested and possibly get them to explore the other albums.

YES..we do

agreed but in the end....... 5/6 out of 25-30 songs isn't a big percentage. Even the casual fans don't expect to hear mostly Ten cuts.

that's almost a 1/4 of the set if you use 28 songs as the new norm.  too much TEN

Ten is ~ 1/3 of the band's album sales.

If anything the album is underrepresented at their concerts.

If you go by sales. Which you don't have to do.

Yeah. I am going to the shows to hear a representation of their whole catalog. If I wanted to listen the Ten album I would just stay at home and listen to it on vinyl.  album sales shouldn't matter when it comes to the setlist, unless they truly are just wanting to be an oldies act at this point. I hope not.

Agreed. If you want to hear that, listen to Ten! They’re great songs, but they should be distributed more rarely. Garden and Deep need more plays too among the Ten songs that get played.

Also, it’s one of the beat and my favorite PJ song ever, but I miss the days when Black wasn’t an almost-every-show song.

Half the audience is there just for TEN.  

mcgruff10

The majority of the crowd for any band are there for the hits. Of course they have to play that many songs off ten.
