>surly some listeners must be as bored by constant repetition of the same
tunes as the musicians are, even if they don't show it.

Marek, you have hit the nail on the head here, but with an incorrect
assumption.  As you say, some tunes are played a lot, but the secret of a
busy band is to strive to make those repeated songs feel different somehow.
That's how you keep the spark alive while playing, and keep the audience
happy at the same time.  It's the way in how you do it, as the song
goes.......
