The audience hasn't heard him do the 3 new tunes of him, plus the 3 new covers. In addition to that, he's doing new arrangements on SDM and Makin Love (old cover) and Brown Sugar. From a live performance perspective all of that music is gonna feel like brand new music to the artist/band performing it, because even if it's an old song if the arrangement is completely new then you don't know how the crowd will feel it. That changes the energy in the room. This shouldn't be an issue by the end of the tour, but I think it's valid for the first few shows.
