My hope is there's at least one extra encore. The tour has been mostly following this format:
(1) Every show has played a four-song set from Man Machine Poem.
(2) Every show has played either a four-song set or an encore set from Phantom Power
(3) Every show has played a four-song set or encore set from four of Up to Here, Road Apples, Fully Completely, Day for Night and Trouble at the Hen House
(4) Every show has played a four-song set from one of Music at Work, In Violet Light, In Between Evolution, World Container, We are the Same or Now for Plan A.
I feel like they're going to add one extra encore (they've been doing two encores) and that encore will cover the album otherwise missed from (3).
I also wonder if they'll pull a song from the EP off. My guess would be either Smalltown Bringdown or Highway Girl. Not sure when they might be able to fit that in. In the 80s they used to finish shows off with All Canadian Surf Club so that's another possibility maybe (fourth encore)?

I'm guessing there will be some surprise guests pop up on stage, and maybe Gord gets a bit chatty. This is not likely to completely follow the script of the tour shows so far, given everything going on.

Speaking of chatty, Ron will dominate that half hour pre-show with his Canadiana ramblings.
Also, I see what you did there with that last line.
Regardless, I have the feeling that the Hip is a little too popular for Strombo's musical tastes.
