That hasn’t happened since HFO, when about 60% of the non-solo setlist were performed by a version that “originally” recorded the songs. And that’s going by songs with Felder on the original recordings. The percentage falls to 30% if Timothy is taken into account.
People readily accepted Smith as a substitute and I doubt anyone felt sorry for them.
