I think what a lot of the hardcore fans are rightfully pissed about, is the 
fact that nearly a year ago this was advertised as going to be a 
all-encompassing retrospective of the band's history over a 2+ hour show. 
Tickets were sold on that premise months in advance of the tour.  Once the 
first show's barely 90 minute setlist was revealed along with the 
circumstances the encores were done (No Al, 3 covers), yeah, I think a lot 
of people had valid reasons to bitch. I guess a big warning sign was the 
major selling point right before the tour was they were bring back "the 
fence."  Big fuckin' deal.

Along with the reasons already brought up which I agree with as to why to 
avoid this tour, I thought the last tour I caught was pretty substandard as 
well - especially whoever they had on drums, which was enough to keep me 
from going this time around.
