If they do a 20 song show, why cant they just play 10 songs off CD and 10 old songs?
They could pick and choose from the old catalog and make it a little different each night, and play almost the whole new album.
CD will be out and people are gonna want to here those songs and the band is gonna wanna play them. At the same time , people will hear plenty of old songs and be satified, win win all around.

Personally, I'd love to see a half new/half old set - but that'll never happen. I think realistically, even after the album comes out, we'll get 7-8 new songs a night and 10 classics.
That'd be good enough. A lot of people (most of the crowd) wanna hear the classics. GN'R must play WTTJ, SCOM, PC, YCBM and NR, but as I see things they can rotate Easy, Mr Brownstone, Nightrain, Patience, LALD, KOHD with playing always at least 4 out of the 6. I'd welcome CW and a lot of people loves DC but GN'R don't seem to consider these song. They can play other 2 or 3 old songs like Out Ta Get Me, My Michelle, Think About You, RQ, UTLH and Dead Horse.
So they have like 5 classic songs to play every night
Another 4 rotated classics
Like 2 or 3 old songs for the hardcore fans
But there is room to play 8 new songs. At least 6 new ones in heavy rotation. Every night. That's what I expect them to do.?

I have always thought this band should do a bold move like John Fogerty did in the 80's and only play new material. Its not going to happen. GNR has went so long without doing anything, that a nostalgic trip is required at each show.
In my opinion, we arent likely to hear a bunch of new songs. It will be about the same amount, but with a variation on what they play each night. With the album out, they arent required to stick to the same few. One night we might hear IRS, CD, The Blues, and Better, while the next night we could hear Prostitute, CITR, TWAT, and Better.
I hope they focus on new material more
playing the classics makes it harder for people to not pine for the guys who performed and wrote those classics
this band needs to succeed or fail on its own material/merits.
Its doubtful theyll stop playing classic Guns songs per se, but they really need to start promoting their new stuff a hell of a lot more - why not play the whole of CD with 5-6 classics?

Yeah, I would prefer that sort of setlist, but its not likely, at least in the beginning. When Cd comes out, alot of fans that haven't paid any attention to GNR for years will likely come back into the fold. Those people will want to hear classics. Axl should ease the band(and the fans) slowly into playing more new material. While us forum fans would prefer all new, its not really logical at this point, at least in the aspect of selling tickets. Since new GNR has zero albums, it makes it even harder to not play old material. If they had done an album in say 2000, another album or EP in 2002, then doing this CD tour to promote the new album, people might not expect a trip down memory lane.
It will be interesting to see how this tour(and a revamped setlist) play out. The only scenario I could see playing all of CD like you said would be to open the show with 3 or 4 classics, play all of CD, then end the show with 3 or 4 classics. That way you pump up the crowd right off the bat, hope to sustain the energy with the new album, and then give them another surge of energy to close out the show.
