BF has released 13 solo albums, Roxy 8 but his solo tours of late have had a higher proportion of Roxy tracks against solo, so If he didn't leave out Roxy songs he could still increase the ratio of solo tracks to a setlist. At his '74 solo concerts and IYM tour he only did a couple of Roxy tracks, admittedly with a smaller catalogue to choose from, but they were still Ferry solo tours.
...but obviously in 74 roxy were a going concern, whereas since they split, even with the reunions they only played a relative few shows, and no one would have been surprised to never see them again after 2001, even though they did a bit more...
Bf gets a lot of casual punters in, and has to try and cater to everybody... I do remember folks moaning on this site pre roxy 2011 that they didn't want to hear ladytron, Europe etc, and then when they produced their best set list for decades ie sentimental fool, same old scene etc, people still pined for 'classics'!
Anyhow, I think AEWBF will be quite different, and I'm sure we will get a couple of surprises!
