The way it used to be
Decide
Into thin air
Love is the law
After the event
Two divided by zero
Hit & Miss
I want to wake up
The only one
Later tonight


Medium, thank you!

Using the science we used in the podcast, some additional criteria that didn't make the final edit, and a combination of my many setlist predications - here is a super-safe, 1986-friendly, Camden-orientated setlist:

Later tonight
I want a lover
Kings Cross
In the night
Why don’t we live together
| get excited (you get excited too)
The theatre 
Two divided by zero
That's my impression
Tonight is forever

L please.

Last call — I’m worried about spoilers appearing before Monday, so please add your entry to the list by the end of today. After that, I’ll close the list.

Official site says: "They have rehearsed 35 songs (most of them not played before in concert) and will play a slightly different setlist each night." So many tracks! And each night is going to be a like a lottery!

What about songs played every night and songs played just once? Do they count the same for this competition? :P
