The problem is it won’t be two covers. It will be five.

Let's hope not.

5 from Ten
5 from Gigaton
Corduroy, RVM, DTE, GTF
Probably 2 of: Indifference, RitFW, Baba, Yellow Ledbetter

More than half the concert is basically set in stone.

This looks likely. Wonder which ones from Backspacer and Lightning Bolt will survive.

There will be little to no impact to Backspacer. MYM and LB will rarely be played. The previous album's rockers have been all but abandoned once the next album drops. See Save You, WWS, The Fixer.

I really hope this is no longer true (1/2 show set in stone), but I fear it still might be the case. It's not that I no longer want to hear alive, betterman, RVM, even black for that matter - but place them mid set again. Miss when those songs weren't "encore staples" but just "songs they played last night". (though I did get Betterman to open Cleveland in 06 - that was unexpected) And I wouldn't complain one bit if Baba and RitFW were retired this tour....

Mixing up where certain songs appear in setlists but would be a welcome change.

Damnit scrub, I just posted that. Probably not a bad idea to release the right before the weekend. You know people are going to be upset.

any chance we get new covers with the newish sound on "dance"? there's been a lot of comments about the obvious talking heads influence, but i hear lots of new stuff in the single that could lead to new covers. prince? the strokes?

I would LOVE MYM to die but I dont think it will. They play it so consistently for so many years after the LB songs have faded. I think that is safe and so is LB, which will be like the Unthought known of LB which is the only common backspacer song

LB and MYM remain staples
Occasionally Pendulum and Yellow Moon pop up in Encore 1

Rest are gone

No way LB and MYM are played every night. Why would Pendulum appear in the encore? It was almost exclusively a show opener. I'm sure it'll still open a show or two.

Yeah, I expect Mind Your Manners to fall into the same category as Save You, World Wide Suicide and Got Some. Songs that were played every night (or close enough to) that immediately disappeared once the band had new songs to put into that slot.
