It's perfect and everyone loves it except this one complainer.SickThings wrote: ↑Tue May 02, 2023 5:36 pmBecause he enjoys it? Because the crowd loves it? Because the crowd loves to sing along with it, and he enjoys that? Probably all of those.

We know Alice's songs better than him?Feezle-Nuts wrote: ↑Fri May 05, 2023 2:50 amWhile I would love to hear a slew of deep cuts in the setlist, lets face it, we probably know many of the songs better than Alice does at this point.
How do you know the lyrics "are still a challenge"? When did they start being "a challenge"?And lets face it, after singing it 100,000 times, the lyrics to B$B are still a challenge. Lets not ask him to relearn too many other songs at once.
So they shouldn't go to the shows because they have an opinion on what they'd like to hear? He's played some songs 1000's of times but if repetition is what your into then hopefully he never changes just for you

No, they shouldn't go to the shows if they are not happy with what the group play, and they shouldn't go to the shows if they are just going to complain about what is played. All us fans know in the main what is going to be played, why then do people go to the shows and then moan about what has been played? Alice and the group play to the majority, and I'm pretty confident that the majority of fans are not "super fans".
Respectfully, this would do terrible business. Touring only makes financial sense when it is catered for a long run. Doing 20 shows is still a month of hiring a full band and crew. Plus the amount of rehearsal and pre production this would require would be extensive.Type-O wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2023 2:22 pmThey posted some new live shots on his facebook page and quoted Luney Tune. Which hasn't been played since 1972 I believe. Stop teasing ffs!
I'm dead certain that a Deep Cuts tour would be successful. It doesn't have to be 60 shows, make it 20 and play select venues in select cities. He could even raise the ticket prices to an absurd number and we would still come. Just imaging closing with I Love America rather than School's Out. Sure that would his work day a bit better.

Who said anything about being unhappy and who are you to tell anyone who has an opinion...that's O.P.I.N.I.O.N. that they shouldn't go to a show. People "moan" all the time just like you are doing but that doesn't mean that there not entitled to a say in the matter. By your standards everyone should shutup and accept what's dished out to them without question...great way to live..how are you going with that?Dazdot wrote: ↑Fri May 05, 2023 7:09 amNo, they shouldn't go to the shows if they are not happy with what the group play, and they shouldn't go to the shows if they are just going to complain about what is played.

Be happy with what you get.

Are you talking about Alice changing the lyrics and/or repeating the same verse over?Feezle-Nuts wrote: ↑Fri May 05, 2023 12:10 pmListen to him sing it live…Miller wrote: ↑Fri May 05, 2023 4:52 amWe know Alice's songs better than him?Feezle-Nuts wrote: ↑Fri May 05, 2023 2:50 amWhile I would love to hear a slew of deep cuts in the setlist, lets face it, we probably know many of the songs better than Alice does at this point.

As far as knowing the songs better than Alice, it is very common for fans to know an artist’s material better than they do. Fans obsess over it and consume the content over and over again. I highly doubt Alice listens to his albums on repeat. I’m willing to bet every rarity that is added to the set is a learning experience. The videos of Snakebite from this tour shows that practice makes perfect.
