The Dylan setlists may be a rigid as you said in terms of repeating the same songs. But as you said, it's packed with lesser-known songs (I recently checked a setlist out after a friend went to see him earlier this year), so I don't really consider it "conservative". Which to me is not just playing the same songs, but also the safe songs. The show my friend went to only had a few songs I'd even heard of. I'm not a big Dylan fan in terms of his whole career, but I'm pretty well-versed in his studio/live work of the 60's and 70's. He did play Blowin' In The Wind that night, but no Watchtower. He played Tangled Up In Blue and She Belongs To Me, which I think are pretty well-known. At least in comparison to the rest of the setlist.

AC/DC. Same songs, same gimmicks.

No doubt about that, but their delivery is always picture-perfect.

Picture-perfect is boring in the long run, Imagine if The Stones had played the ''Live At The Max'' setlist, with the exact same 1990 arrangement, on every tour since 1990!...

Man, who knew the day would come when we'd be mentioning "conservative" in the same sentence as 'The Rolling Stones" and "Bob Dylan".
The times they are a changin'.

Isn't that almost exactly what they have done? 2/3 of their setlist has been the same since that tour. The arrangements are pretty much the same also.
Listen to Tumbling Dice or Start Me Up from that tour and compare with the Zip Code Tour. You won't find much of a difference.

Mick believes - and he's certainly right - that a large majority of fans want to hear JJF, Brown Sugar, SFTD, Start Me Up, HTW, Gimme Shelter, Satisfaction, MR, YCAGWYW, etc., so he obliges

Conservative, perhaps, but they have the best songs, so...

Here is the setlist from "Stones at the Max".
As you can see, 11 out of 15 songs are the usual suspects.
That's more than 2/3. Q.E.D.

No comparison at all to The Stones.

You're right, yby. But they added 5 other warhorses on top of them to fill the warhorse quota 14/19. Which is about the same as 11/15...

This is Dylan's current setlist with release dates of the songs added. I would not call this conservative at all. In fact for an artist with Dylan's history it is quite unusual to play so many recent songs. Only two songs are from the 1960s and only two songs are from the 1970s. I think it's great and I wish the Rolling Stones did the same.
