I agree with you, Hawk, it would be nice to hear some personal favourites in amongst the hits, but the reality is that if it wasn't for the hits, the band wouldn't be reuniting for such a major tour. I remember one interview
about the subject of song selection (it may have been BTO's manager...Bruce ???...a number of years ago), and he had said, with a tour, ya gotta' give 'em the hits. Besides, with a body of music as deep as the GW's, they could play
for 3 days, and still not satisfy every fan. Your favourites won't neccesarily satisfy the person in the stands next to you. My favourite tunes may not satisfy you.
But the hits will satisfy most people because they are what
people remember and are coming to see. This forum is great for the hard-core fans, but in reality, the tour has to cater to a much more diverse audience and be a bit more mainstream....I'm not saying that is "right", but I am
saying that I understand why it has to be that way.

On an related note, with the pending tour announcements,
I've noticed a big increase in GW airplay in the past 24 hours. I've heard 4 GW tunes on various stations, since yesterday, while driving to work and home...in the past, I'd be lucky to hear 4 in a week.

.Unfortunately, carguy, I think you hit the nail on the head -- these concert(s) are not being held for only the 291+ of us! Therefore, the majority of ticket buyers want to hear the majority of the 'hits.' Wouldbe kind of cool though if, say, one venue were for designated-full-range-Guess-Who fans only! So, where's a 300-seat concert hall......

I've noticed that around here, too. A good omen, perhaps?
