Thoughts on number of songs on tour

Was thinking about all the complaints regarding the setlist on the tour. So...I went back and looked at setlist.fm at Morrissey's past sets. He RARELY ever plays more than 20 songs. This was the case even in his younger years. I also remember once a few years ago hearing an interview with him where he stated that it is simply HARD to sing for a long time. It's physically difficult. After we saw him the other night my girlfriend even commented something like "I'm surprised he can sing that long".

I'm not sure why we expect 25+ song sets out of him. It hasn't happened in the past and certainly won't happen ever.

I guess the difference for me is that a 20 song live set used to cost me $25-$30 and now is $70+...

It is what it is people...

Also...makes me have a lot more respect for Eddie Vedder (who turns 50 this year) because Pearl Jam still regularly do 3 hour shows with easily 30+ song sets...
