I didnt attend the tour last year either as the show has gotten stale. (I've been to many TSO shows in the past including the first ever shows at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia).
Surprised no one else feels this way.
I think they count on people being just so darn excited for their tour, no matter what. Stale? Musically for sure. But with no new tunes, and no prospect of new tunes, the only surprise is what sorta effects will there be. Its still a heck of a production for sure, but stale. I may skip this year also.
Personally, I'm hoping that this year is going to have a nice big long second set with songs they haven't done in a while. 2021's CEAOS tour was great production wise but the biggest issue I had with that tour was the painfully short second setlist and medleys instead of entire songs. I've complained about 2014's The Christmas Attic having a painfully short second set, but at least they played full songs.
