Well, this is to be a GW tour so maybe they will do only GW tunes. I'd say the odds are 50-50 at best since they might sneak in a BC song or two as well as a couple BTO's. WHo knows but them?

Well, that's what they did last time (1983). They did You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet, Takin' Care of Business and My Own Way To Rock. The 1987 tour was heavily weighted to the BTO side, I think poor Burton only got to do Your Backyard, at least that's how it was at the Calgary show. There was lots of GW, though.

I agree with the folks, above, who have said it should be
a "GW" show...with minimal RB/BC stuff, if any. This is a
Guess Who reunion; Randy has talked about a BTO reunion and Burton, of course, is talking about putting a band together. Those "future" tours are the place(s) for the
solo/other material. As much as I love the BC (and RB/BTO)
stuff, the solo stuff does not have anything to do with the
GW group effort...kinda' goes back to the idea of givin'
them the hits, and fitting in some "fan favourites".

Look at the bright side of all this, the tour has the potential to breath a lot of life into personal careers.
In Burtons' case, maybe a highly successful American leg of
the tour will give our American friends a bunch of old
and new releases of material. We Canadians really are
lucky to have been able to buy so many albums/CD's over
the years!

This summer could be the first of many summers of seeing
Burton and/or the GW playing 20,000+ seat venues (too bad
they tore down the CNE grandstand in T.O....in the early 70's,the trip to T.O. in late August was an annual ritual)!
