What do you think they'll be playing?
I heard an interview with Bobby and he said something to the effect of "The club tour was for die-hard fans instead of casual fans, so we were able to play the whole new record and also dig deeper into our catalog, whereas with casual fans, we may not be able to pull this off"
Does this mean we'll be getting 4-5 WC cuts and then have the rest as Yer Favorites picks, basically?
And, will they continue to play 22-24 song 100 minute sets?

It doesn't matter as long as Gord brings his "A" game.
P.S. This will be my other half's first Hip show & stadium concert, so i'm hoping to hear some favourites... for her sake.
I think we're gonna get a steady diet of YF for sure ... and from World Container it'll be:
Ocean, Rink, In View, Kids, and Family Band.
Hopefully the trend of one encore only will not continue, cuz you can usually get a rarity + a barn burner in every encore.

I just hope that when they come back to NFLD, they relaize that in a 6000 seat, there would be enough die-hards to justify a show filled with a good number of rarities and album cuts.
Well if they are gonna play alot of songs from Yer Faves, hopefully they pull out Escape is at Hand, I have yet to hear that live and would love to hear it.

Ditto. The atmosphere when they do that muct be incredible.
By the way, excellent avatar.
I hope they don't stray from WC...they played those songs with such rich emotion and power in the clubs. It's my fav. Hip album, so the more WC songs, the better.
I also hope they play On the Verge, and Use it Up...underplayed classics!
My guess:
7 x WC (Ocean, Rink, In View, Family, + 3 others in rotation)
10 x YF standards + (coming from Grace, Music, Gift, ABAC, Good Life, Blow, Wheat, NOiS, Fully, Courage, Lake Fever, Poets, Fireworks, Bobc, Nautical, Gus, Meridian, Bones, and toss Springtime & Summer in here, too)
4-5 x light rotation / rarities

I waited about 8 years to hear that song live and finally heard it in Calgary. It was WELL worth the wait!

i heard it live before i got into the hip. So, i didnt appreciate it as i would have now. Probably my most shameful hip moment
Here’s hoping when they play the Peg they dust off Thompson Girl
– it was the back to back Bobcaygeon/Thompson Girl songs that got me thinking about Hip geography in the first place and I would love to hear the following lines live....
Thompson girl walking from Chruchill
across the icy world with polar bears it's mostly uphill
but when she saw that nickel stack
she whistled hard and i whistled back,
