alrighty folks heres what weve got out of my brain. this is entirely a guess (as always) but i would hope that some of you may consider me somewhat educated. as mentioned last year, im sticking to the 4 x 4 format, where each of the 16 song sets are broken up into blocks of 4 !
lets go:
block 1: 72 has lived for more than a year, and it's title track and lead single are built as openers. 72 and lux to open. they're ready, like their hardwired counterpart. slots 2 and 3 are about the easy to digest hits, great with a crowd, get the momentum rolling. slot 4 is maintaining its "mystery" format. hoping to see some weird things here, like sleepz, and i disappear. maybe some other stuff from that era (waste, un2??)
block 2: slot 5 (if not here, somewhere else) is a KEA slot. calling it. 6&7 are the other 72 slots. hoping to see a revolving door, but shadows and tfg are my first casualties with hopes that they get to live in harmony with their peers (maybe see sleepwalk and suicide again). PLEASE GIVE ME ROOM OF MIRRORS. PLEASE. slot 8 is the halfway mark of the show and the old school epic, fade and sanitarium are solid.
block 3: opening with a TBA in slot 9, easy. could rotate with holier, but not thrilled about that. slot 10, keep the instrumental break, orion and ktulu not going anywhere. awesome. slot 11 is the "old/new" stuff. have to meet your hw/dm quota, day went well, halo is MIA. could very easily devolve into cyanide/moth or something more obscure like judas/revenge. slot 12 is then the Other ballad??? gotta get NEM in there but i am personally over unforgiven, and it was played at every european gig in 2019. maybe clover, maybe something else weird. not sure.
block 4: thrasher to open. will be the usual culprits (blackened, battery, fight, hardwired, maybe damage (???), maybe spit (????)). after is the "fun" song (i use this term loosely). whiskey, fuel, whatever. and the final four will not change. seek/puppetz and one/sandman.
things i added: 72S opener, kea slot
things i ditched: 72S "section"
things i want: more utility in the 4 slot and in the dm/hw slot.
