I'm sure there's a few other songs rehearsed and ready to play, they'll have a time in mind no doubt 1 hr 45 mins, 20 songs seems reasonable! one more to add!

Has he done Secret Messages since the 80's? That's kinda great.

Oh if only !! What does Jeff have against Time - IMHO his finest work by a country mile. Not even "Hold on Tight" but we get "Rock & Roll Is King" ?
I had a feeling Tightrope might open the show. That's great. I am really amazed and pleased that Secret Messages is in.
I wish he'd take a few more "risks" with the set list :
ANYTHING off Time - but esp. Prologue/Twilight, Yours Truly and Here is the News Julie Don't Live Here In Old England Town Waterfall Shine a Little Love ANYTHING off Balance of Power but esp Heaven Only Knows, So Serious Fire On High Mission Shangrila Bluebird is Dead I'm Alive

The guy has not toured for 35 years and we are worrying that the setlist is not as edgy as we would like? I am betting Jeff is nervous as hell right now. It's a miracle he has decided to tour. We should not worry about what he is playing. I understand we all have songs we would like him to play but some perspective is needed. Plus, we don't even know exactly what he will play at this point. If he was playing multiple dates at a venue then I would hope he would mix it up for the people going more than once. My only complaint will be if the show is less than 2 hours. For the prices people pay the show should be at least that long. Not expecting a 3:45 Bruce type show but not barely 90 minutes either.

Spot on. I do suspect it'll be the same set list for the first few shows until he gets an idea of what works and what doesn't. Given that Jeff must have had complete control over every single last piece of the show when they were touring back in the 70/80s, I would imagine he finds it quite difficult to have total faith in Mike Stevens. Don't get me wrong I've no doubt that Jeff has the final say on everything, but I bet that MS has just encouraged him to turn up, sing and play a solo here and there - leave the rest to me.
I'm hoping that we get about 1hr50, but he's getting on a bit, hasn't toured for years and I'm happy with what I've heard will be in the set, albeit I do hope there's reference to Time at some point. Can't believe he doesn't view 21st Century Man in the same light as Steppin out.
Wish I was there tonight. I'm hoping to find some tickets for Leeds on Sat.
