that's got to be a big part of the reason the set list stays fairly constant, with all the line up changes no one has time to learn the obscure stuff! It's a catch 22, if they stopped playing i wanna go, suckerpunch etc they would get a load of complaints but that doesn't mean they can't change round other parts of the sets and give the likes of shame on me, loveshit, just in lust and many others a go. there's lots of album tracks they haven't played live in a long time that wouldn't be so obscure that more casual fans wouldn't know what was being played.
