How do you know? Have you made some poll that no one knows about? Why would someone go to 20 shows if they weren't satisfied?
For example, there was this guy on U2tours.com who reviewed every single show of the Euro Vertigo Tour. Let's just say he was very underwhelmed and almost bored as the tour progressed.
Not a chance that could happen to a Pearl Jam fan.
Someone has to plan to see 20 shows BEFORE they see the first show, especially for U2 shows...
And about the Leash thing... the fans requested that song, the band played it. They didn't play it on the Letterman show you saw because they didn't rehearse it. They took their time and played flawless versions of the song later. Don't see how that "defeats my whole point".
Good and bad setlists? That's subjective. Someone may think U2's permanent setlist is a bad one (for me, almost the entire 3rd leg of the Vertigo Tour and the Elevation tour) and that would result in a disappointment for every show a fan went to (and organized a tour BEFORE he knew the setlist).
There are cases like this. When I compare the PJ message boards and this board, there is lot more disappointment and bitterness here. Setlist variation is one of the big factors of that. Just how many threads have we already seen that U2 should mix it up, that U2 should play Acrobat, that U2 should bring back Mofo... It goes on and on. Not so in the PJ world.
I'm not saying that's the biggest possible factor, but a big one for the fanbase.
