1983 - Midnight Tour - Setlist never changed.
1984/85 - Bad attitude tour - set list never changed
1986/87 - 20/20 BBIS Tour - lots of changes throughout the tour. literally a section of teh show was a BBIS album track. either was Burning Down, Special Girl (which also took up 2 outta 3's spot), One More Kiss .... apparently rock n roll hero was done too!
1988 - Lost Boys Tour - setlist changed alot. just lots of changes from the states legs to the epic european leg.
1989/1991 Pubs n Clubs tour - the main set was strictly tight. tho heaven can wait took two out of three's spot in 89 and Dead Ringer was included in European shows. Rock Medley changed up a bit too
1993/1994 Everything Louder - set changed mainly when meat decided whether to open w AFL or frying pan and things were structured accordingly.

Would not call it objective just basing on one aspect (setlists) and neglecting i.e. how many variations the songs had from night to night.
Frying Pan, Paradise, TOOT, RRD and others varied by many minutes from one gig to another.
Not simply reproducing Jims art but (re)creating it in the moment!
Not easy but refreshing for the band too. Although seeing many gigs, never ever saw an artist with that many variations and spontanity on a tour.
Includes Meats speaches, while others use the same words in the same spots any night.
