I´m almost certain that those numbers would be "beats per minute"...but the only sure way to find that out is to check the number against the actual beats per minute of the song in question...most likely explanation.
And...yeah I agree that I really Love to hear the songs from the new album more than almost anything..the other stuff I love is what some call "deep album cuts"- songs that weren´t hits, but that are amazing album tracks- "Hearts & Bones", "Peace Like A River", "Cool Cool River", even "Gone At Last"...more of those are always welcome. To his credit he´s chosen a few lesser known tracks from "Graceland" to feature, but like Paul McCartney, there are just some total classics/hits that most folks going really want to hear, and the setlist will be filled with plenty of those too. It´s tough because for lots of those fans it may be the only time they´ll ever see him, or the last time, or first time in 20 years, etc., etc. ... so to them getting to hear the songs they know & love is a big deal...for the die hard fans, like us here, it´s hearing the new tracks & deep album cuts- and yeah a few of the hits sit well too- especially if we haven´t heard them in a while.

They will be beats a minute as I mentioned,and though they do seem a little fast on a couple of those songs,most performers speed up their songs for live performance(Neil Young excepted).

They would definitely be tempo numbers - he must use a metronome and listens to it before starting songs to make sure the song is the proper tempo

Yes,the tracks with the beats per minute numbers look like one´s where the drummer starts things and therefore sets the tempo. Doesn´t really explain why there´s a number beside Hearts And Bones though. Has the arrangement of Hearts And Bones been similar to previous years,with acoustic guitar intro so far?
