    It will be rare, but I'm sure there will be a couple here and there. Probably on really good nights.

    Yes, we will see a show where they perform 30+ songs.  Hopefully multiple shows.  But not during a standard tour.

    I think 2h40 min is the sweetspot. How many sogs is that

    28 songs in Camden in 2022.

    And what a show that was! I think 30 can happen again, when you least expect it.

    Wrigley Field will be interesting. Ed’s love for the city and the Cubs could get a 30 song setlist. 
    Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

    If you were betting, wouldn't it have to be the last show of a tour?

    Unplugged (Benaroya-type) maybe.

    I was always curious that if Covid didn’t happen, when would the set reduction have occurred? 2020 or 2022? It’s nice to see they’ve increased the set by a song or two on average this tour. 25 is good, 21-22 was a slap in the face with no notice, 26-28 would be perfect.

    Boston 2 baby. I feel it in my loins.
    They just hit 30 in 2018. Can't see it but hope I am wrong 
    My actual answer is the only real answer......I don't know

    If sweet lew, mankind, don’t give me no lip, black diamond, and purple rain were all on the setlist then yes.  Also mark me down for that show :)

    Would have been more if it hadn't been delayed by rain

    Betting the fact they have two back-to-back MSG dates not long after Wrigley (and still utilizing an opener) will keep them in the mid-20s for Chicago.

    If they weren't touring an album and plan less dates (similar to 2018's tour), I can see 30-songs still a possibility. We'll see what they plan for 2025...

    All your US leg 2 shows will be around 25 songs. It’s the new norm.

    Doesn’t look like they will hit 30 again. Maybe some special one off show somewhere but all signs are pointing to no
