I think he’s going to do the ten published songs in the order written first, and then more songs after that - so I’ll make Welcome to the Working Week my guess :)

I think the opening song will be either a Burt cover or a song they wrote together.

Although it wouldn’t be a straight fit it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s God Give Me Strength.

I would absolutely not complain one iota if God Give Me Strength was played more than once over the stand, but the way the set list announcements on the official site look, that song is coming on night 6 and it says no listed songs will be repeated so I’m not sure I would expect to hear it tonight. But like I said, I wouldn’t ask for a refund if he did it twice, it’s an amazing song each and every time.

Certainly plenty of BB songs to do 1 (or multiple) on each of the 10 nights

thinking a lot about the radio city gigs today.

RIP Burt
I too am a limited, primitive kind of man

No Dancing at the piano was amazing!

And Please Stay was a tear jerker at the end.

Great night, I can only imagine what's to come.

Someone should note he added the third Pathway verse to Miracle Man.

You know seven men that want to be monkeys
And six that never get denied
And five that say they've done it all before
And four that say they just get tired
And three of the handsomest men in the country
And two that can do it again and again
But I'm the one who's here tonight
And I don't want to do it all in vain
