Agreed Jimmy. I like to have her sing backups on the older songs to give them a different vibe as well.
That could be interesting. I'm very excited for the possibilities of the setlist this tour. I feel like he has reached that point now that an album would have to be VERY conceptual if he would play the whole thing, and while this album is a concept album, I'm not sure if that's enough for him to play all of it. Still, we'll probably get at least 70% of the album, maybe more. While Raider II is one of his best songs IMO (probably even his best epic for me), I do think it's time to drop it from the setlist. He played it during the GfD tour, and a shortened version during the Raven tour, but it still takes up a huge amount of time. If I had to pick between Raider II, or 2-3 more interesting songs that I didn't get to hear on the last two tours, I would go with the latter.
Insurgentes is the album I'm hoping we will get some surprises from. Salvaging would be my nr1 wish track for this tour, but I would also be thrilled if he decided to play the title track, or something from the bonus disc. Collecting Space, Puncture Wound or Untitled (The 78) could be neat numbers. From Grace, I've been lucky to have already experienced most of it live, on the Grace tour which was simply amazing. I think Deform to Form a Star HAS to be played, because I would consider it the Trains of his solo career so far. It's really catchy, very well written and should just be in the setlist. In terms of surprises, I love the bonus track Home in Negative, a song that gets way too little appreciation, probably because not a lot of people have the bonus disc. It reminds me a bit of some of the simpler Blackfield and Porcupine Tree tracks, but it is hauntingly beautiful and I would love it. With Raven, I don't really know. We got most of it (or all of it?) on the last tour, so I'm pretty satisfied. The title track should be played at least, considering it is one of his best. Apart from that I have no major wishes from that album.
A balanced set with mostly new songs, but some great surprises from the previous solo albums (like Salvaging, Puncture Wound and Home in Negative) would leave me satisfied. If he topped that with another PT song or two (like he did on the last tour), that would be the icing on the cake.
