Ed will come strolling out and say “We’re going to get this one out of the way now so we don’t have to hear anything from you fuckers for the rest of the tour”, and then they’ll proceed to launch into Dirty Frank. Then they won’t play it again for the remainder of the tour. 😂

I'm guessing San Diego will be Long Road > Corduroy; if they plan to have a Gigaton track open each show, I'd agree that Retrograde seems the likely choice.
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.
I think Retrograde would be a great set closer, extended outro, huge soaring sounds. I think Stone mentioned something about playing it live when the album was released.

Put me down for this — Long Road to Corduroy. Lots of wisdom here.

DotC as an opener doesn't make sense to me ... I think it belongs right after a few rockers early in the set, or maybe even right after Even Flow. That said, I think they'll open with it tonight.
Please let it be Release or Long Road. Neither of which have been played in several years.

Long Road or Corduroy. I don't understand the love for "Alright." Might work as an opener but I feel like that song would take the air out of the room anywhere else in the rest of the set. Snoozer of a song....that's the beauty of music though...so subjective! I'm sure others love it.
I think they are anxious to play the Gigaton songs, but my gut is saying Release. We've been through some shit the last couple of years collectively and that song and build up will have extra special meaning.
part of me still feels like it’ll be gigaton straight through
i hope they play as little of the album as possible lol

yeah I think they lead off with a classic. New song at #2.
