Okay, I took some time to put this list together. I decided the most logical way to do it was to break it down into various categories.
- There are three songs as far as I can tell that someone has confirmed will be played. Others mentioned as confirmed earlier in this thread may not be so confirmed after all. I only wanted to include clear examples on this list. If there are more examples, let me know and I'll move them into the confirmed category.
- Assumed is where I am including all songs that he has played for the past 10-15 years, and all songs where it's only logical that it would be played.
- Likely is the category where it would certainly seem like a strong candidate, but there's no real evidence either way.
- Possible category has a lot of different types of tracks listed. In each case there's some minor holdback that keeps it from being a shoo-in. In some cases, it's just the extreme obscurity of the song which just means there's a chance Al doesn't care for it and will skip it. In other cases, the song has some element that could make it hard to play live.
- Unlikely also has a lot of interesting cases, but mostly are ones that seem especially hard to play live. Buckingham Blues is also here due to the outdated lyrics.
- Confirmed No has only two tracks, but will add more if anyone knows of more.
All Confirmed + Assumed + Likely = 53. This is a pure coincidence, but it happens to match the number Bermuda mentioned last week on a FB post. So those three categories make up my prediction of what songs will be played this tour. A very cool list! I hope I'm wrong and a few of the "Possible" tracks make their way in, too!

Now it may have changed, but at the end of the last tour a band member did tell me that the plan was to perform Fun Zone live.TMBJon wrote:Okay, I took some time to put this list together. I decided the most logical way to do it was to break it down into various categories.

Re: Predicting the Tour Rotation
Still a strong possibility! They'd kind of have to do it at every single show though, as an opener.
What a racket they're makin', Jack, they keep me up at night playin' their electric guitars!!

Performed at the 501st Bash (as a preview of the 2018 tour):
CNR
I'll Sue Ya
Melanie
Albuquerque
Mentioned in Podcasts:
Generic Blues (Jim said he was practicing this)
Craigslist (Jon said they were probably playing this)
Trigger Happy (I believe a member on here said Jim confirmed it was being rehearsed)
Mr. Frump (Al mentioned it in an interview)
So you can interpret those how you see fit.

Re: Predicting the Tour Rotation
I don't care what songs get performed since I love them all. I have been very curious on how many songs they can squeeze into 1 1/2 hours and still schmooze with the audience and take any needed breaks. 18 songs? That is the line to start the over/under betting.

Re: Predicting the Tour Rotation
Nope, but attending the second show! Plan on going in blind, I get what I get, and then I go home, read the setlist from the first night and rage/pray that certain songs I missed show up at one of the two NYC shows later that month.....Yankomaniac wrote:Two weeks away!

Somehow I really doubt that the costume-heavy originals (Dog Eat Dog, DTBS) are going to make appearances. Then again, I didn't think I'd ever see Bedrock Anthem live again, and it was brought back sans-costume in the medley.
Anyone think that there might be an originals Medley on this tour? Possibly a "now we're gonna perform all the old stuff that nobody really wants to hear" medley of first album songs?

Re: Predicting the Tour Rotation
I think there probably will. Make sure you post your set here after you get home HAHA. Will be excited to hear what was done.
