Seems to me that the setlist will be predicated on what the LP8 material's sound is like, genetically/spiritually speaking. I think you can most definitely count on Yellow, Scientist, Clocks, Fix You, VLV, Charlie Brown, (Magic or ASFoS) and (AHFoD/ or U&U). SO there's 8 cuts, roughly 1/3 of the setlist right there. With that in mind: > On the last tour 6-7 songs from AHFoD made up another 1/3; safe to say 5-7 songs from EL will make up another 1/3 of the setlist; > That leaves that last 1/3 WIDE OPEN (6-8 songs) for all kinds of things, including a b-side or two. IMHO, if the prevailing vibe is moodier and more in the vein of GS/ARoBttH/X&Y, I could see: Shiver; (In My Place or Warning Sign); (Talk or Speed of Sound); (Lovers in Japan or Lost!); Don't Let It Break Your Heart into Up With the Birds; Oceans; maybe even Fun if they have an opener who could carry it as a duet live... I have a hunch it might be a little moodier show, given that the album art only has the words in "technicolor." I also think the "full of surprises" thing suggests that we should not necessarily expect that same tour over again. Given that the MX and AHFoD tours were so dizzyingly pretty and wildly colorful, something more stark like the Twisted Logic production would not be a surprise. I'm sure StrictlyFX is into a deep dive building this show as we all speculate... So, I'm thinking moody, stark but also triumphant in spirit. That's my guess... just enough of a dive back to make Oldplay fans happy, but surely rooted in everything that makes Newplay and OURplay fans happy too... … and FWIW, I have a desire to hear Everything's Not Lost/Life is for Living live again. :)
