"Can't they drop With or Without You or Pride????"
I would guess a big part of their audience these days are people who loved them in their heyday and haven't followed their career very much after the 80s ended. They might enjoy whatever they're playing off the new release they're touring behind, but they're really there for nostalgic reasons and want to hear those hits.
But I'd go nuts to hear Hold Back the Rain!
You are completely correct, and I understand that.
I just remember when they first reunited as the original 5-piece and that first reunion tour they opened with "Friend of Mine"
Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!
