Hi Igor

Have the shows you've seen been normal shows with the full set list?  
If so then I find it hard to believe as I haven't seen this happening  
that they would change the sets depending on the country. If they are  
playing at a festival and only ca. 1 hour playing time as often is the  
case then naturally the new songs might get dropped in favour of the  
old songs. Perhaps you have just been lucky to see them at a point  
where there have been less new songs in the set than usual. Usually  
when the tour starts there are more new songs in the set and as the  
tour progresses the number can be drop. Recently there have been only  
three songs from Into The Wild, this is correct.
