I ask because I belong to a forum about the rock band Chicago and often times it's been said there that some of the members of the band if not all say they give the people what they want when it comes to the hits or ceratin songs. And of course with Chicago, there's a lot more to that considering since the mid 70s, they have been labled more of a ballad band than a jazz/rock fusion band in which they were originally known for and perhaps they will play more of that then the more rock orientated stuff which troubles many of those who hate what Chicago has become.

I'm in on Chicago lists too LOL and have to say their setlists have been far more conservative than Gord's. You pretty well know you're going to hear Saturday in the Park, 25 or 6 to 4, Make Me Smile and a ton of others at EVERY concert. That's been going on for years and years.
Seeing Gord at Massey Hall in November, I enjoyed his shaken-up setlist that had several surprises. I think an artist should play what he feels led to play, rather than simply pandering to the masses. In the end, they start to resent that. I know that's happening with Chicago.
