Lack of Backspacer Live

It looks like most shows they are only playing the 2 songs (Fixer and Got Some). Why are they afraid to play more of the new stuff before the album comes out? I would think they would like to try something new and get some more excitement going for the new album. Does anyone think we'll get more than these 2 once they hit North America this week?

I love the old stuff, but it would be nice to hear some more new stuff.

    I personally dont want them to. Maybe The End or Unthought Known but only if they are Ed solo versions.

    I'm sure a lot of it has to do with recordings. There are already audience recordings out there for Shepherd's Bush and the Germany show. The band probably doesn't want half the album leaked before it comes out.

    They'd rather everyone listen to 10-30 second snipets from Verizon or Amazon?

    I think that's exactly the reason. I think one of the guy mentioned something like that in an interview.

    I thought this was a tour to "support the release of Backspacer".

    Playing the first two singles at every show is a good way to support a upcoming album

    I think this mini-tour is intended to hype the release. They are playing the single and teasing us with the probable next single (Got Some). They seem to be avoiding giving the milk away for free (or $172, depending on how you look at it)

    Backspacer will be in stores Sept. 20th. The N.A. tour to "support the release of Backspacer" begins Sept. 21st in Seattle.

    These Euro and N.A. shows that are before that tour are different, imo. Personally, I love that they aren't overloading these sets with the new songs.

    That's old-school-record-company thinking. I say play it. Nothing generates buzz like hearing new stuff live. They should play Backspacer front-to-back at one of the Youze-a-palooza shows. That would be SO cool.
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    2006 tour I was so sick of hearing most of the new album at every show. So far I'm loving the setlists on this current tour.

    I'm not whining. Just eager to hear some and wondering why they wouldn't play more.

    reminds me a bit of the 2005 canada tour. we were hoping for previews from the upcoming avacado but didn't really get many if any. though they kept the sets fresh with stuff off lost dogs and new covers. and looks similar this time...brother, the newish who covers, and that sorta thing. but good sets overall, good length, good vareity from show to show. all good. this will serve to get us amped up and hopefully most will get to see them in sept/oct as well. though i'd love to hear supersonic. the snippet on amazon makes me crazy to hear the whole thing. lol.
