But who would the marketing be targeted to? True fans who care about these rare cuts already got their tickets and shows planned out and wouldn't just spontaeously go to a show based on a song vote...and all those random radio fans wouldn't spontaneously go to a show based on the song vote, loads of them probably don't even know it exists
Also thanks, that's neat, I had no clue those sites exist
maybe I got it mixed up, they didn't play ER in 2019 or 2021 but they played Monkey Man 3 times in 2019 and once in 2021...
So it truly seems to have been 2013 (Hyde Park) when they last played ER...they last played Worried About You in 2014, I'm still annoyed that I didn't come to Düsseldorf back then when a friend asked me to, but I was going to uni and didn't have enough money
Oslo 2014 was last performance of ER
https://rocksoff.org/debuts.htmAs PA says above, marketing is just to create a buzz. Its clickbait related. Its not aimed at the sort of people who go to shows wanting to hear stuff like 'Parachute Woman' or 'Winter'. This is a band whose media team posted stuff on facebook a few years ago asking people 'what songs do you want us to play on the upcoming tour' (and then proceeded to play the regular stuff anyway). Saying that, many of the replies were from gimps who were posting requests like 'Start Me Up' and 'Jumpin' Jack Flash'
They first had a fan vote back in 1997. It was rigged even back then as well.
