By that logic, if I order dessert, then I must not have liked my appetizer or entree.
I respect your opinion on this, sonicl, but I don't accept the "either/or" notion that they either want to let fans experience a classic album or they are a forward-looking band. To answer your question, what I hope to get out of this is a great performance of music I've never heard them play. Then, next year, right on "schedule", I plan to see them again, playing mostly new music from a newly-released album. I plan to have my cake and eat it, too!
