Surely he could've at least thrown in The Motel on a few nights.

The Reality tour, on the other hand, plays some hits a lot, some hits occasionally and some hits not at all.
So let's call it a Hit and Miss Tour.

A tour featuring a significant amount of new material is not a greatest hits tour!
So you're saying Serious Moonlight and Glass Spider weren't greatest hits tours? Sound + Vision is a bit of an oddity, since it wasn't in support of an album, yet it still included the little new material that was available, such as Pretty Pink Rose. After all, what's the point of having a tour that doesn't promote one's latest releases?
In reply to:
IF "GREATEST HITS" WAS DEFINED BY YOU, NEARLY EVERY TOUR OUT THERE WOULD BE A GREATEST HITS TOUR.
In a sense, that is true. From the random tours that I've looked into during the course of this debate (from Glass Spider to 'Hours...' but excluding Earthling), once you take out the new material (i.e. from the previous two albums) there is a large proportion of "hits". However, the Outside tour did include quite a few songs, such as Andy Warhol, Teenage Wildlife and Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) which aren't widely known and the likes of which haven't featured in other tours. Just looking at the Earthling tour now, it seems to have taken this one further, with even fewer hits played and more new material instead.
