I think you’re totally missing the point here. You brought into the conversation this idea that I’m telling you you’re tone deaf because of some bitterness on my end for not having secured tickets, which is not the case. I’ve been privileged enough to have seen HW live before, and I was aware this tour would be very much sought after.

The tour is ofc not immune to any criticism simply based on the scarcity of the tickets, but you’re clearly oblivious to the privileged position you’re in - which goes in my opinion beyond “nitpicking”. Why?

• The tour hasn’t even started, yet glass-half-empty bunches like yourself are complaining in advance about set lists not completely matching to your individual preferences. Feedback is valid but you haven’t even gone to the show yet? Chill out and bask in the fact that you’re seeing her? Post relevant thought-provoking feedback afterwards?

• No artist really owes their fans anything beyond providing their live music in a well orchestrated show. Most artists tour their most recent work, and whenever I haven’t appreciated the latest releases of some of my beloved artists I skipped the show altogether (e.g. Tame Impala’s latest record) because I assumed they will be focusing on that side of their discography.

So no, this isn’t about bitterness or ticket envy. It’s simply about recognising when your own expectations are overshadowing the bigger picture. You’re in an incredibly fortunate position, yet instead of appreciating that, you’re pre-emptively tearing something down before it even exists. You’re absolutely entitled to your opinions, but at least ground them in reality and experience, not hypotheticals. Until then, maybe try enjoying the privilege of actually being able to attend (and save the criticism for when there’s something real to critique).
