yeah, I totally understand the rationale for doing that, especially on a big tour. The fewer variables there are, the fewer opportunities for things to go wrong. Although, I was listening to an 84 show from The Odeon on 4/29 and the version of Charlotte Sometimes has got to be one of the weirdest versions I've heard. Guess you gotta do something to keep it interesting for yourself.
Wasn't 1985 the year where they basically played the same show over and over and over again occasionally mixing it up by adding "the blood"?
Not really. At Night, Forever, Do You Wanna Touch, I Dig You, You Really Got Me all got an outing too.
If you look at the '84 setlists, they are just as predictable (almost as predictable as a Sister show today)
oh... and thanks for pointing out that they played I Dig You a few times in 85. Downloading a copy of the Whitley Bay show as we speak! Thanks for the heads up!
