topics may or may not, but polls predicting what's gonna happen in the year that just passed don't make much sense.

i have no doubt he will conveniently forget, so he may need to be continually reminded.

you made me dig out that recording from 2012, where after fans' yelling bunch of requests like Rodeo, Red Rover, Underground, among others, he started describing his thinking about how to do the request portion of the show - http://www.mediafire.com/watch/2kqlx...st_portion.wmv

this was not the only time he talked about this and it was evolving a bit, since request yelling happened pretty often during 2012 tour - resulting in Rock Away Blind (multiple times), Rodeo, and a part of Walk a Thin Line all performed per request. for never before (or after) performed live Walk a Thin Line, he said he actually did more than one line he initially thought he'd do since once he started playing it he ended up remembering more and doing the whole verse... and that he would have done more if he could remember plus he insisted he messed up the lyrics. so yeah he may not remember every single whole song, or he might pre-select some possible requests, or wait till someone yells several he actually wants to do, but those wouldn't be Big Love or Go Insane since he would still have 2/3 of the show with whatever mainstays he wants to do. the way he talked about it, requests would comprise maybe a third of the show, and could be some of the rare or never before performed songs.
