No, it isn't. Honestly though, tonight they will play at least half or more of those songs on your list. Surprised, we got like opposite songs at the shows we attended. You got Traffic Jam, I'm totally jealous.
What a racket they're makin', Jack, they keep me up at night playin' their electric guitars!!

I looked at the song tally and percentages through the first 20 performances and came up with tiers in order to choose my dream setlist that's also potentially realistic. I'm sure there's a whole lot more going into Al's setlist creation, but this seemed like a decent approach in under 15 minutes. Also, I chose 16 songs as it looks like that's about the average number of songs played per night not counting the medley, cover and Saga Begins (or Yoda).


My Dream Setlist:

Midnight Star
The Biggest Ball of Twine In Minnesota
Why Does This Always Happen To Me?
When I Was Your Age
Close But No Cigar
UHF
Melanie
I'm So Sick of You
Jackson Park Express
One More Minute
Dog Eat Dog
If That Isn't Love
That Boy Could Dance
Nature Trail To Hell
You Don't Love Me Anymore
Don't Download This Song
Medley
Cover
Saga Begins


And the tiers I created for song selections:

Tier 1 (Pick 4 of 6)
Jackson Park Express
CNR
You Don't Love Me Anymore
Don't Download This Song
Dare To Be Stupid (Unplugged)
The Biggest Ball of Twine In Minnesota

Tier 2 (pick 2 of 4)
Good Old Days
One More Minute
Bob
Melanie

Tier 3 (pick 5 of 13)
Why Does This Always Happen To Me?
Generic Blues
Buy Me A Condo
When I Was Your Age
My Own Eyes
I'll Sue Ya
Close But No Cigar

If we're really dreaming... Genius In France

Going to at least four shows. Hope to hear most of these at some point.
Well, I heard everything except my top choice this tour... Seems silly to complain, but, considering they've played Twine Ball at half the shows, I'm kind of unlucky.

That's the reason I went to 5 shows - the hope of hearing Twine Ball. I loved all the shows, but I would trade my 5 for 1 show with Twine Ball. And considering they have played it at half the shows, that's why I said I was unlucky. I'm totally grateful and fortunate to attend even one show. Not saying I'm unlucky in the general sense - but I called "heads" and the quarter landed on tails 5 times.

That's the reason this tour is driving me nuts (in a good way). Unless you go to a few consecutive shows, there's no guarantee that a song that pops up half the time will even be there. I used to do set list predictions until this tour kicked all of my expectations out the window. The only thing I can count on is the fact that there will be 10 or fewer rotated songs from the previous show played at the next one, and the songs that are repeated aren't necessarily guaranteed even based on the recorded odds.

I think the odds of will make more sense as a retrospective.

Also, I don't know if I have a dream set list at this point, but I'm hoping to get these songs crossed off my list in Dallas and Longview:

Generic Blues
Mr. Popeil
My Own Eyes
Albuquerque (I've technically seen it on the SOL and partially during the Alpocalypse tour, but hey, hearing it once on this tour would be fun!)
Close But No Cigar
Young, Dumb & Ugly
Dog Eat Dog
I Was Only Kidding

I probably won't get everything crossed off, but even getting just a couple of these would be a big plus!

Okay, here is my dream setlist for the two LA shows, based on what has been played so far. (Yes, I know this is cheating but I couldn't cut the list down any further!) 16 songs for each show, not including the acoustic medley, cover, and closing song:

Al, if you can plan to do those 32 songs between May 9, 10, 11, and 12, and maybe even throw in a new one like I'll Be Mellow When I'm Dead, that'd be great. No need to play CNR. K thanks! :w
