Because you are too lazy to read anything directed to you, I'll answer your question AGAIN, since you never answer anything directed at you.

Live coming back, with a new singer, and playing in that harder style that has been missing for over 10 years makes all of those songs sound fresh. It was a rehearsal with only 11 songs, a sample, the fact they put in 4 that have been long forgotten is a good sign. The fact they played no new songs on their very first rehearsal show does not concern me as they want to keep that tightly under wraps and they WILL be playing new songs, we know this for a fact. They played all the hits, yes, with an 11 song setlist and on a proper tour they will play 18-22 songs maybe, that gives heaps of space for new songs and even more hidden gems, dude this is NOTHING like Ed.
Lets say Live 2.0 launch a tour with an 18 song set list, and then 4 years later they're touring with basically the same set list, then you might here me arc up a bit and give a bit of grief, but come on dude, after one show with even less songs than they would play at a festival, the fact you're trying to make this into a thing is just showing how desperate you are.

Ed has been touring with the same old shit year after year after year after year. He says he is moving on and then loads his setlist with the same old stuff. Live say they are Live, they play Live songs, they said they were delving into the old gems and they showed us a sample of that. That's all this was man, it was a taster, a teaser, a test run, quit your fucking agenda and split with your casual fans off into your own little place where you can happily follow Ed and realise that for you, the Live journey stops here. You've always got the old albums to listen to, but as of now, it's over for you, pretend Live is no more, focus on Ed, leave the rest of us alone in peace and quit getting so fucking hung up over the name.

If there was ever a time to not play all the hits, it was a hometown show filled with family members and invitation only fans. LIVE 2.0 is no different from Journey, Foreigner, or any other legacy act with a new singer. Pokey's double standard is alive and well.
