Yes, I checked some first dates and Think About Me and Over & Over weren't included. So actually only 7 new songs were included.

In St. Louis (November 6), they sang “Over and Over.” (Eight TUSK songs total that night.)

The TUSK material seemed to come and go from October to September. It’s hard to keep track of. Here’s the best I can do, given what’s out there:

Played intermittently

• Over and Over
• Think About Me
• Save Me a Place
• That’s Enough for Me

Played every show (barring emergencies)

• Sara
• What Makes You Think You’re the One?
• Not That Funny
• Sisters of the Moon
• Angel
• Tusk

Rehearsed but possibly never played 79–80

• The Ledge
• That’s All for Everyone
• I Know I’m Not Wrong
• Brown Eyes
• Honey Hi

Wow, thank you for posting this… very helpful. It’s interesting that Christine sang so few songs from Tusk, and intermittently at that. I’m surprised she didn’t sing Brown Eyes during this tour, but added it to the Mirage and Tango tours later.

It’s too bad Mick didn’t delve more about rehearsals and how the band came up with setlists, etc in his books- I think that’s the kind of stuff fans would really like to learn about.
