Must've missed something......when was it confirmed that TCOT isn't gonna be on the dvd?
JP during one of the latest meet'n'greet or aftershows (I don't remember which of the two, probably the latter). The song is too long
Actually the first confirmation was when JP told me after the LA show at the beginning of July. Regarding TGD, I think you can pretty much write that one off as well, as when I talked with JP back in December about why they dropped that track, his response was that it is a great album track but wasn't getting much of a response from the audience. So I can't imagine them resurrecting it for these shows. That said, I did encourage JP to seriously consider releasing one of the shows from the summer European leg as an official bootleg, as it has TCoT, TGD and some of the other songs I doubt will be featured at the shows in Argentina - hopefully it will happen.
As for what DT will do with these 2 shows (release them completely, create a 2 set "show" from them, mix the songs together to create an extra long show), I haven't the foggiest idea. But I wouldn't completely write off the idea of them releasing both shows in their entirety. I do think it's possible, especially if most of the set is different from night to night.
While the precident the band has set is only to swap out a maximum of 4 or 5 songs between shows, my gut feeling is that we'll see more songs switched out between the 2 nights, and that they will be hybrids of the setlists we've been seeing since the first American leg of the tour. Below is my initial guess at what they might do. Again, the sets may vary more than what they end up doing (likely so), but I would expect the majority of the older songs listed below to be played one of the two nights.
