It would be way cool, but probably really difficult from the band's standpoint...necessitating additional guitar setups and more rehearsal time, especially considering there are new backup musicians this tour.
I have seen other bands who have varied setlists during a single tour. Sometimes they alternate between "setlist A" and "setlist B"; other bands mix it up more than that.
So I guess it is possible, but takes a lot of planning.
I think the easiest thing to do would be to have your basic setlist, but randomly add a few unexpected songs into each show's set.

Dizzy, All Eyes on Me, and It's Over are all AMAZING songs but sadly to say I have never heard any of them live.

They never played It's Over live. �I've seen the other 2 performed. �Dizzy is fine. �All Eyes On Me is amazing.

I would love for them to do a different setlist every night but that would be nearly impossible for them as mentioned above.  I'm cool with having the same set in every city as long as it is a GOOD set.

(And there's a tiny piece of me that wishes the Goos booked 3 nights at Shea's in Buffalo and played HMU/SSWC stuff night 1, ABNG/DUTG night 2, and GF/LLI stuff night 3 as a celebration of their 20 years as a band.)

ONLY amazing?!  I am completely head over heels in LOVE with the opening guitar intro for the live version of "Dizzy"!!!  I have no idea how to replicate that sound with my multi-effects pedal, and I've been dying to for years and years.  

Anyway . . . yeah, I wish they did mix up their set list a little more.  I'd imagine that they themselves (and even the road crew) get sick of playing the exact same set night after night, so I'm almost surprised that they don't.  But I suppose for consistency in lighting effects, sound, guitars, and all that, it's easier to have just one set list . . . it's a big rock show as it is.  :P

Me too. I'd been a fan for a long time but never saw them live until the first leg of Gutterflower. I missed so much!

And the rest of SSCW.

And HMU.

In your defense you were like 5 when SSCW came out.  I doubt you had much of a musical taste and I doubt your parents would have taken you to concerts if you did.   :D

I regret not going to the first concert the Goos played locally after I had become a huge fan.  I was 14 and one of my parents would have taken me if I had asked.  The Lewiston, NY 8/15/98 setlist is insanely good.  :-/
