Next tour songs
Assuming there's a new Underworld album to tour in the future, what tracks from the more recent releases do you think might make the cut?

Reason i ask is because the "Barking" tour had such a rigid/unchanging setlist, heavy on new tracks along with a few regular hits:

Barking tracks played on last tour: Bird 1, Always Loved a Film, Scribble, Between Stars, Diamond Jigsaw, (Downpipe - provisionally a Barking track, or at least a collab in the same vein)
Other tracks played: TMO, Rez/Cowgirl, KoS, BS.Nuxx, Dirty Epic, Moaner

i may be forgetting a track or two swapped out at some point.

I guess this is how it always goes with bands- they promote the new stuff and distill the back catalog down to just the biggest crowd pleasers. No worries. But it makes me wonder, on the next tour, what will we hear from "Barking"? "Scribble" and "ALAF", i 'd guess. Will the "Diamond Jigsaw" single keep this one on the list, a la "Jumbo" (not a hit, but a crowd pleaser and UW's go-to encore for much of 2007-08)?

Will we ever hear the likes of "Moon In Water". or "Grace" live? Are "DA3D", "Momove", "Twist" and "Luetin" forever gone from the setlist? Even singles like "Push Upstairs" and long live favorites "Dark Train", "Rowla" and "Mmm Skyscraper" are in danger of deletion.

This thread will probably turn into "my ideal setlist", but i'm just realistically wondering what tracks from the last few records will make the cut of classics to intersperse with whatever new tracks are being promoted...
