Couldn't agree with you more - yes, they're great, but nothing compared to the 90's. Those were the days when the venues were much smaller and the setlists varied so much. Now, it's become so much of a production with the videos, lasers, lights, etc. that I think they're hampered from easily changing the setlist. And I don't want to hear anyone tell me "this is the 10k days tour, what do you expect?". I can remember way back (Coachella comes to mind) when they'd just play a whole setlist of their "first EP" - Opiate songs. Remember the days of no T-shirt sales, $25 tickets, intimate venues (Poughkeepsie, NY)? Ah, but I digress....
