You took the words right out my mouth :P

I admit I also loved the sensation of the surprise in Amsterdam 2008!
Nevertheless, I always want to know. And if there are recordings around I even want to hear them. Or watch. Also prior to the first show I'm going to.
Same with new albums. If there are snippets or first songs (or the whole album :o ) spread out somewhere I want to get to listen to them.
I soak in any impression of our hero's genius.
Who knows if I'm run over by a bus tomorrow?
We live only once and not even long...
That said: The best idea is to attend one of the first shows - if it's possible :-X

I am normally on the "don't wanna know" side but this year it's different
1) It's far too long to stay away from Guy's diary, this forum, facebook, etc
2) I am taking my little son to see the show and want to make sure he knows all the songs, so I am going to play them for him.
So spoil me please!

ROFL moat, you are right! ;D
I was in Amsterdam also in 2008 with the kick-off and it was great to hear the songs for the first time. :P This year I know I can't wait till May 27th and June 28th, so I don't mind to be spoiled and know which songs will be played! ;D

I too was at Amsterdam 1st night in 08. What a GREAT feeling, and so many surprises.
In 06, i didn't want to know anything.
In 05 i got my 1st computer, and was a newbie on all the MK forums, so i was lappng up as much info as possible.
For all my previous MK/DS gigs from 85 onwards, i never had a clue as to the setlists at all.
For the 2010 tour, for me, i can't wait till the RAH gigs. So i want to know EVERYTHING from the start!!! ;D

You guys are all terrible, do you look for all your Christmas presents too?
-
wanna know about every second of the show, from the beginning, every day.
the live part, that is what attracts me the most...
-
I'll be going 3 nights in a row. So I pretty much will know the setlist for the next 2 nights. I still in the "WANT TO KNOW CAMP" It's sort of give me time to prepare and anticipate the songs and the excitement of knowing in advance is just irresistable. So, Please spoil me with the setlist. ;)

LOL, Dusty, that doesn't apply because I don't get any - and yes, the ones I buy for myself I don't wrap them and try to forget what they are ;D

This explains a lot. ;)
Deferred gratification or delayed gratification is the ability to wait in order to obtain something that one wants. This attribute is known by many names, including impulse control, will power, and self control. In formal terms of accounting, an individual should calculate net present value of future rewards and defer near-term rewards of lesser value. Extensive research has shown that animals don't do this, but instead apply hyperbolic discounting, so this problem is fundamental to human nature.
Conventional wisdom considered good impulse control to be a personality trait important for life success. Daniel Goleman has suggested it is an important component of emotional intelligence. People who lack this trait are said to need instant gratification and may suffer from poor impulse control.

I am all for delayed gratification dusty, and I hate opening my presents before the big day either, but there is no way I can not follow Guy's diary from the begining, makes the show I am going to see last as long as the tour instead of 2 hours. And I don't want to be off facebook either.
This is the first time I am going to know before, I'll let you know which one is best!
It's a bit like knowing the sex of your baby before it's born, isn't it? Some want to know, others don't!
-
I don't want to know that either, but my wife forced me. :-\
-
My point is, it takes all sorts, there is no good or bad.
I knew a couple in that situation. The mum wanted to know and the dad didn't, or the other way round. The mum managed to keep it secret until the end!

I think painting the bedroom blue might have let the cat out of the bag.

Oh, you try telling us you want subtle spoilers?
I'll tell you i.e.:
- Wow, He's not wondering where the lions are this year, as they live on a mountain.
- Hey, I'm not going to tell you details of the setlist, but you'll definitiey have a good remembrance of the day of the show
- Have you read the second row of letters on your own fridge according to your wife's facebook wall picture? ;D

Like i say, i definately want to know the setlist from the beginning, but i'm definately not going to listen to any audio clips from any of the gigs, not until i've seen the 4 shows i'm going to.
I want the song arrangements, solos etc..... to be a surprise. :)

ROFL MOAT, that is funny! Well let me give you a present then with Christmas, even when it is a little one through FB! ;D
Quote Dusty: "I don't want to know that either, but my wife forced me."
Ooohh poor Dusty! ;D When I was pregnant of my second child, the doctor in hospital asked me if I wanted to know. I wasn't sure, but then Yeahhhh I wanted to know. When I came home I told Jans that I knew, but he said he didn't want to know! So although it was hard, I kept my mouth (only my mother knew) and when our son was born it was a big surprise for Jans! ;D
