Oh, don't get me wrong, I agree. Nearly all live performances I have been involved with in my band are 3-4 hours long, mostly covers, and in suburban bars. The fact that we aren't emptying out the place is apparently a good sign that we don't completely suck. But no matter what, at the end of the night, those last one or two hours are mostly folks that have been overserved. Drunks have surprisingly good memories when motivated to heckle the band just for the sake of doing so.
It's funny, most of my band history has been playing original punk/indie music with 3-4 band bills playing to 30-70 people and making 25 bucks and a few drink tickets. Seems like the general business scene can be fun, low-pressure, and put a few bucks in your pocket. Downside I guess is you get heckled, but I guess you can work on your snappy comebacks

When it works, it works, and when it doesn't, it doesn't. Most of the albums I got that have reprises on them, I dig it. In some albums, it's the only part I like - for instance, the song "Coattails of a Dead Man" on Primus's Antipop album is somewhat a reprise of the intro track, and the rest of the album is rank nu-metal garbage.

Not sure I understand what you're referring to, but I was gifted a CD by my mother on some birthday by a dancehall group called T.O.K., where one song later returns as another with changed lyrics and beat, but the same motif. Don't feel like listening to it today 'cause it's homophobic trash (and the album has about four good songs anyway) but it works there and is fun.
