If I may add -- the band has been pleaded with since 2013 to play more of the TLT era material. The problem is, its not the fans online who talk about them that make up the majority of the audience. The majority of their audience wants old material. It's just how it is.
I remember conversations about this early on. They are immensely proud of their new material. But whenever they play it, the energy isn't there from the crowd like it is for Queen of the Reich, Empire, etc. It's the makeup of the audience and what they seem to want to hear that makes doing a setlist really tough.
When they dropped the self-titled 2013 album, I recall pleading with them to just go out and ram the new material down peoples' throats. That record is like 39 minutes. Play that, and another 45 minutes of old classic stuff. Just make people want it. They never did that. I still think that was a mistake. If they just toured relentlessly, on a bus, in the clubs, and just kept hammering, it would have worked. But they aren't 20. They are 50+. So I get it. So the audiences they play to (fly in dates to casinos, short headline tours, and festivals) just aren't there to see the new stuff. They want the classics. So they do the old stuff.
To current QR's credit, they were trying to play more new stuff at the beginning of their headline runs. But if you look at their setlist on setlist.fm from Dec. 15, 2019 (a local Washington State casino gig), it tells the story: 17 songs. Only three from The Verdict, one from Condition Human, and ZERO from self-titled. The other 13 tunes are from EP-PL.
So as I said, I GET IT. They are trying to keep the energy up and still get the new tunes in. But the majority of the audiences they play for aren't hardcores. They are fans who just want the classics done. So QR tries to give them what they want, and keep themselves happy with a bit of the modern stuff. For me personally though, even though as "Queensryche" the current band isn't my thing, I'd love to see them do a 17 song set where 10 of the songs are from their modern TLT-era material, and they kept the nostalgia to the seven classics they know they have to play. The new material is good. It needs to be supported. But they are in a tough spot having to go on stage night after night, and watching people take piss breaks the moment they play something new. It has to be frustrating.
