Total longshot:
The Lookahead
A bit of a high note, and it is one of the songs for his wife that was forward-looking...
I'm not sure I could handle being in public hearing Gord say "Give me that lookahead"
They tend to be ending with the big boys: ABAC, Fiddlers, Bob, NOIS, Poets, Grace... but they have not ended with Courage yet (based on my quick look, I could be wrong)...
Courage would be fitting, and it would give over one minute of band instrumental time for Gord to be on stage and soak it all in...

I thought it would be World Container, but unless they stray from the setlist format, Grace, Too or ABAC is far more likely.

guys, you keep going through all of their songs trying to find the most poignant lyrics for the final song. do you really thing they are putting that much thought into it?
or are you all just having fun guessing what the "perfect" final song is?

So many great options:
World Container
Another Midnight
The Lookahead
Last American Exit
Wheat Kings
I agree, it's likely to be a rocker. I think they want to conclude this show in a raucous way.
But I wouldn't disqualify a lesser known track like World Container. The whole world will be watching. If this is a new song to Joe Public, so be it. Let them expand their horizons.
