The fest shows aren't a good comparison. Limited set lengths and audience makeup (a lot of casual fans) keep fest sets closer to a greatest hits set more than anything. These shows will differ in that they can play longer than 1:15 and the audience will be made up of people familiar with 90% of the catalog. While no one knows for sure, I think there will be some variation from night to night, especially with a stripped down production.

That said, I saw two nearly back to back Tension shows and enjoyed both. Having a different vantage point helped (one show was relatively close stage right and the other was lower bowl behind the sound booth). Go to as many as your schedule / wallet allows. Who knows how many tours we'll see in the future.
