Is anyone else bothered by the repeats on this tour?

Please spare me the "you should be lucky you even get to see them play" comments.

Went to five shows this year (plus the #couchtour) and for the first time ever I would go into the show knowing about 50% of the songs that I was going to hear. I realize part of this is attributed to the new acoustic format but it's seriously making me question the number of shows I'm going to attend next year and that makes me pretty sad.

Every summer friends and co-workers say to me "you're going to ANOTHER Dave Matthews show? - why do you want to see the same show over and over?" I then go on to explain to them that you never see the same show twice and it's always different songs so it's worth going to five or six shows in a two week period. However, that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Is the band getting lazy or is it possible that I'm just losing interest?

Repeats are the reality, especially when you do multiple shows.

Obviously, everybody's been crying about them as of late though. Really not sure what people expect.

I can't say I have any major complaints about the shows I've gone to... SPAC, Camden, Hartford runs.

99 songs played through 29 shows. They only played 99 all tour in 2012 (when I got to hear Mercy all three nights at the gorge). Last year they played 110 songs. I'd say they are pretty close to on par. Plus there have been some major liberations. No complaints here.
