Warning: Potential Tour Setlist Spoillers Below
 Fans are looking at a potentially huge opener tonight night at UMB Bank Pavillion. A few people heard the soundcheck from outside:
Everyday
Jazz jam
New Song #1
Slow ragtime intro to..
When the world ends x 2
Ayhee
Diggin a ditch
Last Stop Reprise > American Baby Intro
JTR
New Song #2
Jazzy intro to...
Grey Street
The first new song is supposedly a jazzy tune, reminescent of Seek Up. Ayhee makes a somewhat surprising entry into DMB territory, having previously only been performed with Dave and Friends and Dave solo. As Boyd made clear in his interview with Weekly Davespeak a few weeks ago, JTR seems to be returning as well.
The second new song has the lyrics "let's run while we can" and a short really poor quailty cell phone recording was made of it. You can download that here. Also of note is the performance of The Last Stop reprise into American Baby Intro. Looks like pretty awesome on paper. We'll have to wait and see if they pull this out in concert.
This excitement is somewhat overshadowed by a new interview with Steve Lillywhite [producer of BTCS] that aired this past weekend. In an interview with former MTV VJ Matt Pinfield, Lillywhite said: "I felt very sad that the record was re-recorded with all my production ideas, and I didn't even get thanked on the recording." (Regarding Busted Stuff) More quotes here.
Lillywhite puts his feelings so bluntly that this begs for some kind of response from the band. If anything it shows there's no near-term possibility that DMB will work with him again.
There were also some pre-tour interviews with Dave and Boyd you might want to check out.
