What songs in the 2nd half?

[everlasting]

I'm assuming we'll get the hits and perhaps a b-side. How many tracks do you think we'll get? When they did the Holy Bible sets that was 13 tracks long so as EMG is 12 do you reckon we'll get an extra one in the 2nd half? It'll also be shorter than the HB set too as EMG is 10 minutes less in length, so perhaps we'll get an extra 2 songs?
Any way, this is what I reckon we'll get more or less:
Tolerate, You Love Us, YLAINE, Sun, Motorcycle, Motown, Ocean Spray (haha), Walk me to the Bridge, a b-side (Sepia maybe) and another oddment.

[MSPKYE]

The hits plus Mr Carbohydrate, a curios, something like Born To End, a new song (with the Welsh football anthem added in Swansea) and end on You Love Us like the original tour.

[Son of Stopped]

I think "Together Stronger" is going to be road-tested through the tour.
I'd like to hear "Condemned To Rock'n'Roll" again, but I think that was one for the last tour.
Motorcycle, Tolerate and YLAINE are a given. And I hope "Walk Me To The Bridge" gets kept as that got great reactions and sounds even better live.
70/30 on "Motown Junk" not getting played, personally.
Did "La Tristesse Durera" get played last tour? Maybe we'll get "Roses In The Hospital".
I'd happily pay to see them tour a b-side only gig, but I can't see them playing that many in the bigger venues.
"The Convalescent".
But basically, I'll take whatever I can get from them.

I'd think La Trisstesse or roses re good shouts as they were played around the emg years anyway (both played at Nynex I think)

[hummingbird]

Tristesse would be cool. One of my favourite singles

[darkanddivine]

Big hits would be my prediction. THB suited curios because it's a bit of a cult classic. I'd think that JFPL tour is a better indicator. The 2nd half was all singles (bar No Surface) and EMG is going to attract lots of casuals out of the woodwork. Overall, you're looking at a total of 25 songs, maybe 27 if they feel like pushing the boat out. If there are curios I'd have thought it would be the acoustic covers as they are big stadium sing alongs.

[LA ex]

They also played Sorrow 16 on the JPFL tour!

There'll be the four definites; Motorocycle Emptiness, You Love Us, Tolerate and You Stole the Sun.
Four from the likely lads of singles; Show Me the Wonder, YLAINE, It's Not War, Masses, La Tristesse, Ocean Spray, Suicide is Painless, Walk me to the Bridge
An album track from Futurology/Rewind the Film; maybe even something exciting and unplayed like The Last Jet to Leave Moscow
One new song
A b-side or rarity from EMG era; probably Raindrops or Skinheads (have they ever played any of the b-sides live?)
And a random rarely performed album track; I'm going to guess at I'm Just a Patsy

Didn't Mr Carbohydrate get an outing in 2003?

Yeah at the HMV gig. There's a recording of it knocking about somewhere.

[rosetree]

I hope they play a few from GATS, KYE and Lifeblood though I love all their songs. I wonder if they might do a David Bowie song or instrumental. I read that Nicky likes Speed of Life.

[Europa Gluten Free]

You Stole The Sun
YLAINE
From Despair to Where
Walk Me to the Bridge/Europa GDM/
It's Not War
La Tristesse / Roses
Token KYE (Ocean Spray/Found That Soul/Freedom of Speech..!?)
Prologue To History
Masses Against the Classes
Mr Carbohydrate (acoustic)
Sullen Welsh Heart (acoustic)
Motorcycle Emptiness
Together Stronger
Tolerate
You Love Us

I can't see them playing any THB songs. Which I think is a good idea.

[hummingbird]

They might use speed of life again as an intro before they come on

[darkanddivine]

I'd suspect it'll be ADFL Stealth Sonic version....

[beadyeyedoeen]

Hope they play design for life

[Winterlovers]

We'll get for sure: Tolerate, Motorcycle, Faster and You Love Us
I hope to get as well: Masses, Tristesse, Found that Soul, 30YW, Peeled Apples, SATT, Black Garden, 1985, WMTTB, EuroWalesSong (why not?)
