Great post.
Hey we are indeed working on just that. We are currently working off a list of songs that we feel meet the criteria for the tour and will be most popular with everyone. The plan is to have enough songs to rotate two sets or something like that throughout the tour? Enough to alternate some for people attending more than one show and to make it more interesting for us as well.
Of course the list gets narrowed down and some of the songs will not make it. We have actually replaced two of the original picks if I am not mistaken. There are quite a few issues to take into consideration when picking songs. Some just sound better than others live? And some we have been playing a few for years that we are a little burnt out on.
We will ultimatly choose the ones that are sounding best (tightest) and are the ones we feel will be best for this tour!
I can tell you we are working on around 14 songs with a few others we are talking about. We will probably only be playing around 8 or 9 songs each night, so having 5 or 6 more to rotate in would probably be ideal.
The majority of the tunes are more recent. We are planning on doing two from BPOTW ( these would fall into the remembering how in the hell they went catagory

and one from Wounded, and Time Lost each. Those two are pretty easy to guess! And they always sound really good.
From Break of the songs is maybe a surprise for a lot of people but it is sounding great. We do plan on working in King possibly as well.
We are working on three from J9 D10 one of which we had not originally planned on doing but has been thrown in the mix now, another that is a surprise and another that is not.
From Blink I think we are working on three, and from Tug maybe four? Yet to be determined.
Hey about learning how to play the songs again

wow some of them have not been played for years! and I mean years! There is seven disc's of material now to choose from as well. So yes it is a challenge

although it is also funny how some come back to memory easy? And there are some we have never played and probabaly won't?
I think Doug listed some of the songs on another thread whih I can add too.
Thanks for the psot
