Will the Seattle shows be marathon shows?

I'd be happy with a normal sized set, I have only seen them one time (San Fran III, 2006). But it seems like they could pull out all the stops for these two shows. I dont know about the Key Arena 2002 shows, but the 2000 ones were pretty long setlists.
What are the chances of a "Seattle Experiment"?
It seems like if they were gonna do a marathon set, these would be the shows, because of it being their hometown shows, the first proper seattle shows in 7 years.

I took marathon to mean one of their extremely long sets that have gone into the 2:40-3:00 range. They've really only done so a handful of times and never on a tour opener to my knowledge.

I agree never on a opener... usually stick to right around 2 hrs maybe a little more or less...
But they do have a good chunk of shows that have clocked in between 2:30 - 3 hrs...

I'm not saying that they'll play a show epic in its length, but I don't think these will be your typical tour openers. Having said that, you can make the "it'll be a special night" argument about pretty much the whole tour, between 4 shows in LA at a much smaller than usual venue, a show at the location of one of their most emotional shows in years (San Diego), and 2 (or 3, or 7) shows to close out a truly historic venue in Philly...
I don't know, I just can't shake this feeling that ALL of these shows are going to be unique... different... special.
LA II 06, SB 06, SF III 06, Kokua 07 Ed and Jack, Grant Park 07, EV Berk1 & LA 1 (nice job 10c), 08 DC, MSG1 &2, VH1 rocks, EV Bos II, EV NYC I & II, Milwaukee, EV Maui, EV Hono I & II, Chicago 09 I & II, LA 09 I & II & IV, SD 09 (my girlfriend hit the lottery, best concert of my life 10C rocks)KC 2010, STL 2010, Hartford. Boston, and MSG I & II "who goes around skinning cats anyway", PJ 20 2011 , Portland, Spokane, Seattle LA 2013, Home Shows + Missoula (fatal 👌)
I did see an exception to this once. Gorge 05 (I think it was the 2nd show on the tour, the played missoula a few nights before). They played a near hour long opening set. Then a full length concert afterwards. So about a 3 hour show alltogether.
Seattle 2000 was a long set as well (the 2nd night) but that was closing out a tour. One thing that always struck me as odd was that for a near 3 hour show, the setlist was pretty standard except for the 2 songs at the end.
