Maybe because they haven’t seen it yet?

It’s not for people who frequent a PSB forum and who have presumably seen them perform live a number of times over the years.

n my case, I had seen the *Dreamworld* show once before, three years ago, in the shortened festival format. My girlfriend had never seen them live. So, obviously, it was a no-brainer—I didn't even have to think about it for a split second.
And the fact that they’re still touring *Dreamworld* obviously means there’s demand for it. Last night, there were 7,000 people in Santander, and two nights before that, 10,000 in Valencia. If someone had told me that back in 2000—when there were only 5,000 of us at the *Nightlife* tour—I wouldn't have believed it. And if they came back to this area with *Dreamworld* in another two or three years, we’d definitely go again. Though, of course, a brand-new tour would be even better.

I can totally understand and so can the thousands of happy people in all the 'Neil and Chris leaving the stage at the end' clips they keep posting to social media.
I don't understand being gatekeepy!

Brand new tour would be good. Perhaps with the upcoming album a new tour will be fleshed out.
I'm sure if Dreamworld finishes there will be many of us that wished it didn't.
There are so many fantastic songs in the set list.

We'll always have naysayers and people wanting more. I think it's a matter of observing whether it's a large majority or not. I think most of the fans are supportive of Neil & Chris continuing the tour even if there are groans and murmurs here and there.

Worth pointing out, this tour hasn't extended beyond previous tours. Look at these numbers:

Electric Tour (112)
Dreamworld - The Greatest Hits Live (110)
Fundamental Tour (109)
Pandemonium (99)
The Super Tour (83)
Release Tour (61)
Performance Tour (58)
Nightlife Tour (55)
Progress Live (27)
Discovery Tour (24)
Summer Tour (21)
Somewhere Shows (20)
MCMLXXXIX Tour (14)
The Unity Tour (13)
Summer/Fall '04 Tour (11)
Battleship Potemkin (9)
Inner Sanctum (8)
Obscure Pet Shop Boys (7)

Number in the brackets being the amount of dates. I think Dreamworld is just barely creeping ahead of the others, with Setlist.fm missing upcoming tour dates. But it's not like Dreamworld is five times larger than previous tours.

The Nonetheless era has been fruitful. If there were a Further Listening for it, including radio edits it would be 60+ songs.
For perspective, Yes FL is 34 tracks. Release FL is 46. (I like numbers today, huh)
Perhaps if they dedicated resources to a Nonetheless-specific tour we wouldn't have had as much output.

Thank you for posting the numbers and looking at this I’ve seen a lot of these tours along with heaven in ‘91 and the tour of universities. It’s probable a new tour is being planned and I’ve been told by someone who used to be involved with Glastonbury that they have turned down the legends slot on quite a few occasions because it’s in daylight. Mind you it was in a pub a while ago and although the person was very friendly I’m not sure how credible he was.
