Either way, It's good to hear some of these songs live again.
I think I remember an interview or article with them where they talked about it, and it essentially boiled down to them looking at their 2003 tours and tours around that time and it was the same thing every night and thought it would make it more interesting for them, and more special for the fans if they tried to not repeat sets. Something like that. Their response made it seem like a very fan-based decision.

Was happy to see it though. Definitely makes it a little more fun to catch a second show on the tour, which I've done a couple times now.
