I hate to say so, but you're at least partially right.  Witness the
stream of punters to pour out of last month's show right after DFtR.
They'd obviously heard what they came for, and split before the
encores, which were, BTW, old songs.  OTOH, the new tunes did go
over, though I don't know how true that would be if they'd played 5
