I saw Prince in 2013, knowing full well what to expect. I go deep wit da Prince, so I knew pretty much everything. My friend and much of the crowd didn't. I had the same experience, people walked out like crazy. Then after 12 or so songs, he plays like 4 hits in a row. Place went nuts. Played another 8 songs and closed with U Got The Look. Best show of my life.Opester was talking about Neil Young not playing anything he knows and I would say that's more on Opester than Neil Young. Crazy artist types with shitloads of material are not the same as Warrant not playing Cherry Pie. I watched Prince play not a single recognizable thing other than 30 seconds of Raspberry Beret and from the nosebleeds I got to watch about 10 thousand out of the 18 thousand there walkout, it was amazing. Then he came back for his third encore and played Purple Rain with purple confetti everywhere and the 10 thousand people trying to rush back in that had left. Oasis had plenty of hits and shit that fans love and if you were pissed they didn't play Wonderwall that's more on you for not knowing what you're getting into. RHCP are in the same ballpark, they can not play one of their hits and most people that go are still happy cuz it's sort of hits all day.
Also, yeah as many times as I've seen REO, the only new album they put out I didn't need to hear live. Styx on the other hand, I would take shit off of Cyclorama and Brave New World over Come Sail Away most shows.
As for Metallica: sure no one's going just for Sandman, but you still know they're playing it every night.
