I think AOTW will be rested as the opener to the tour to highlight apart from anything else to illustrate that this is a new era/tour from the comeback shows, if so what might be the opening track?
Fire on high would create a great atmosphere combined with the proposed space back drops we've been promised? However, its has already been done
I'm thinking an album track rather than as single...Tightrope would be good!

Was thinking about this the other day, Secret Messages for me....."welcome to the show". My other predictions are a live link to Tim Peake on ISS at one of the gigs. Bev and Roy to join for 10538 overture at the final gig of the uk tour. Newcastle will be relegated from the premier league, NZ to beat Ind in the t20 final. Hilary for president after Trump dies in a haybale incident.

I think he'll maybe need to go for something most people will recognise, it wouldn't be my favourite but Rock and Roll is King is really popular and the lyrics promise treats to come ("feel that rhythm and it's really gonna thrill your soul, come along with me to a land of make believe" for instance.

Standing In The Rain has that wonderful epic opening worthy of a set opener. Turn to Stone would go down well also. Other possibles include Do Ya, Twilight, Hold On Tight (I can see it seguing from an intro piece) - I think it'll be a well known catchy song to start off with. Coming out of the gate with Secret Messages would be beyond incredible also.

Remember, I got The Feeling right. Put your money on Secret Messages.

I think he keeps All Over The World as the opener.

I'd like to hear 'Twilight' as an opener but I think it'll be 'AOTW'. It's tried and tested now. It's not so big a hit that Jeff'll be showing his cards too soon and it's not so unknown that it won't get everyone singing along.
'Fire On High' and 'Secret Messages' would be excellent openers not least because they are album openers too.

I think your're all missing the hugely significant fact that the tour is occuring on the 30th anniversary of Balance of Power and we all know that's no coincidence. So I expect Sorrow About To Fall as the opener followed by the rest of the album in its entirety. They can play all the other stuff in the second half.

Anyway, I've asked Mike Stevens via twitter to spill the beans but he refused.

Fingers crossed for the mouth stuffing hay bale. Of course, if he goes like that I'm first suspect, although it would difficult to push a haybale from Durham, UK to Durham, NC....is that where Durham is in the US ?

You might be joking, but i can't say how much i would love this... My dream opening number is secret messages, but i guess it won't happen...

someone is trying to get mike stevens talk on twitter “@michaelpeth: @saxes1 I’ve got £50 on Secret Messages being the opening number. 40/1 ” ‘Ha! I’m saying nothing but it’s gonna be great!’
