OK - just like with the Dead - it is NOT the same show. Not at all. They may be the same musicians, but they do not repeat a song. Completely different show and different vibe.
When I would go see the Dead, we would always go to all shows in the stand. If they played three nights, we went all three nights. Different show each night. The dead would also try not to repeat songs in the same region - so if you went to shows in say Sacramento, Mountain View, and Berkeley, for that whole string of 10-12 shows they would not repeat. Also mail-order tickets were only like $25-$30 so seeing three shows was about the same as seeing one show today cost-wise.
Yes the good old days of actually going to the venue to get tickets as well. This internet made ticket buying too easy. If I was a band I would do a live ticket only at the venue. See the line and sell only there. Cap it too like 8 tickets per person
