They always do. Last tour they had better new stuff so they played more of it and it was VERY good. This time I agree with the other that there won't be many new songs.

Yeah, ticketmaster was VERY screw this morning. For like 10 minutes after the supposed onsale I kept getting the same "tickets not available" page. Finally I got a page to request tickets and it took about 5 minutes before it finally pulled up some seats. I got good seats. My buddy wasn't as lucky. He ended up getting seats behind the stage for the Staples show but decided to buy them anyway.

I was getting seriously pissed this morning.

Maybe I'm getting too old but I think it's mostly I don't have the passion for the newer stuff like I did the older stuff. I saw their last tour and it was pretty good but I think it's time for them to hang it up...end on a good note.
they claim they are bringing back most of the old classics no this tour though....there arent many good songs from the new album they will play.. other than of course Vertigo, Miracle Drug, and All Because of you
Well, they played Out of Control on the Pop tour but Larry's drum fills were noticeably absent...just doesn't have the same hit-ya-in-the-gut feel anymore.
