Good for you! I admire musical talent. My parents are musical, but I'm rhythm-impaired and can't even touch-type at typical speeds. I can and do sing, but my only talent in that regard is being able to remember the words.
What shapes my thoughts here has almost nothing to do with music per se, and is instead grounded in a concept of fairness in the implicit and customary contract between performers and their audience. Caveat emptor is not a satisfactory response here, IMHO, and the logical conclusion of that route is that the audience should demand a setlist before buying tickets, which would not be to anyone's benefit.
to be clear, I don't think Reed's behavior here was egregious; it was merely a peccadillo.
