We heard last night that the Canadian tour will most likely be an arena tour (not theatre).

That's a little disappointing. That means the tour is more likely to be Greatest Hits... again.
I never tire of Grace, Too live though.
At The Hundredth Meridian, however...

Enjoying last night's Ahead By A Century atm actually...
Has anybody heard anything about 2013 tour dates aside from that one tease as to when the Canadian tour was going down (Jan./Feb.)?

Arenas don't necessarily mean a greatest hits tour though. Last time they played arenas was the '07 tour, and they were mixing things up pretty good during that stretch. That was also the tour where they were playing cover songs in the encores. So you never know.
I always forget that it was back in 2007 when they last had an arena "tour". Here in Victoria, they played the arena twice in 2009 when they were playing theatres everywhere else on tour!
As for songs we're sick of, I'm only really tired of Music@Work. Maybe Courage and ABAC as well. But 100th and NOIS I don't tire of, because those are the songs that still have the greatest opportunity for improvisation which is always fun during shows.

If they never play 'fireworks' again, it'll still be too soon. Not particularly fussed about "it's a good life", "in view" or "ahead by a century" either. And it's almost unbelievable to say (imagine saying this 6 years ago), but "fiddler's green" is slowly entering that territory too. I've seen 9 shows in the time they've brought it back and it's been played at 6 of them.
That said, if they feel compelled to include 'poets' and 'grace too' in every set from now unto eternity, I'm totally fine with that.

I feel like I started the talk about songs we could do without live.... my bad. I pushed over the first domino on this thread derailment. This is supposed to be about Tour Dates...
