Slightly Disappointed

Well,I went to both shows. While they were both very good and enjoyable, I must wonder why the set was so similar both nights. I mean, I'm not asking for "How Soon Is Now" or "Everyday is Like Sunday" or anything totally unreasonable. But Morrissey and the band have quite a repitoire of songs that they have been playing off and on for the last 5 months, so why couldn't they have mixed it up a bit more. The two concerts only differed by two songs (ALma Matters and November were replaced by Now My Heart is Full and Shoplifters the second night) Sure, the order of the songs was a little different, but it was essentially the same show both nights. Why not play songs like You're Gonna Need Someone On Your Side, Speedway, Sunny, Trouble Loves Me, Roys Keen, The More You Ignore Me, Hier Apparent, Edges Are No Longer Parallel, Reader Meets Author, Boy Racer. These are all songs that he HAS been playing recently and could of added some spice to the second show. It must get boring playing the same 16 songs two nights in a row. Don't get me wrong, both shows were good. Shoplifters Of The World Unite was the hands-down BEST tune of the whole weekend. But a little more variety would of been better.
