No, this cannot be the point. They are just too lazy and dont care about the fans.
It's not that in one year the crowd has changed: this european leg is going to be attended from the same people that were there in June/July 06 and November/December 06.
Don't fool around with us: it's the same show once again. I cannot believe that they're not able to play simple songs like Intolerance, Prison Sex, 4°, H., Jimmy, Opiate, Part of Me, The Patient, Triad and even Intension if they rearrange it a little.

have you put any thought into what it takes from the band and the off stage crew to put together the show you see today?? the main reason they can't randomly throw in a new song to the set is because of a) maynard's voice (check the tool page news section) and b) the amazing stage show that you get to see. there is so much more to tool's live show that you're not taking in to consideration that determines the set list. don't be a fucking ass and say they don't care about the fans because they definetly do. LOOK AT THE FUCKING AMAZING STAGE SHOW YOUR GETTING.. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT?? i sure as hell haven't... throwing in the songs you listed without weeks and weeks of proper preperation would destroy the effect of the live show. and i guaruntee you we won't be hearing triad ever again until the live dvd comes out.
