when you use a standard cassette in a 4-track recorder, it uses the whole width of the tape (and at a much higher speed than usual, to increase quality). i spent the first few years of my recording/engineering experiments using a tascam 4-track and i still think those are some of my favorite recordings i've ever done.
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that 'Hurt' 'March of the Pigs' "Head Like a Hole' and 'Wish' will be played tonight
Also, I may be in the minority but I'm ready for The Frail / The Wretched to be dropped from the set all together.
If in favor of something else from The Fragile, then yes. And as much as I love Somewhat Damaged, The Day the World Went Away, and Even Deeper, I'd love to see songs like Please, Into the Void, Where is Everybody?, or The Way Out is Through make their way into a modern setlist.
Of those I've only had the chance to see Somewhat Damaged live, so I'm still a little open to the idea of Even Deeper but TDTWWA ... but yes, more Into the Void please! I'm still forever bummed my St. Louis stop in the Tension tour ended up not getting that one in 2013.

I've never seen Into the Void. When they were in St. Paul for the Tension tour, it was written on their printed setlist, but they didn't play it. As awesome of a show as it was, it was a little bit of a bummer to know that they planned on playing it, but didn't due to "technical issues."
Mostly, I’m just hoping that the set list is a little more fluid this time around. Last time I saw them was with soundgarden and it was a tad disappointing to see the exact same set list for almost every single show. There were like maybe 2 songs that would switch in and out from city to city. However, if I remember correctly, cities that had multiple shows had a much more varied set list from night to night. That gives me quite a bit of hope for the 3rd Chicago show having some deeper cuts.
I just want the first show to begin with Trent in a leather jacket and shades riding a motorcycle onto the stage and the band goes into a cover of "Breaking the Law" for no real reason.
