my dream setlist for the new tour/promo tour:
Can't Beat the House (good opener)
I dug up a diamond (really i little gem, hope it gets played again)
some cover (why should not even mark play a cover some day?? jj cale would be a good start)
Hill Farmers Blues (i know, it got played last tour, but then again, my reply to that is: Romeo, SoS,...classics need to be played!)
Old Pigweed
Paraguay
Camerado
Tall Order Baby
Before Gas and TV
Piper to the End
So Far from the Clyde
Mist Covered Mountains
anything from Shot at Glory
that great song from Wag the dog
Long Highway
You and Your Friend.
..
work in progress...will be back :-)

I'd like to see him alternate between TR and ToL each night for a change and it would be great for those of us who go to more than one concert and for MK too; he seemed to me to get bored playing TR on the KtGC tour. I'd like to see Ride Across the River back too, it doesn't get much of a mention here but I've always liked it and think it was a great opener. I've only heard two tracks from Get Lucky so I can't comment much on which ones he'll play but perhaps GL could replace StP? I'd also like to see SFA dropped. I've never really liked the song and it's just the same every night. Something from the OES album would be nice such as the title track, PoNO or Y&YF. I always thought Prairie Wedding was one of the nicest songs on the StP album. Oh, please, please, please, no Long Highway - I detest that song. Worst song he has written by a country mile.
-
omg....llong highway....long been my favorite.......how can you say that??thanks for the tip!!!
-
Long Highway is a very nice B side imo.
Anyway, Border reiver could be a great opener, maybe why aye man next, you can't beat the house, cleaning my gun, what it is, sailing to philly, hill farmers blues, knoxville, devil baby, bonaparte, monteleone, wanderlust, the car was the one, speedway at nazareth, remembrance day, brothers in arms, so far from the clyde, wild theme, piper to the end. Yeah, would be awesome. 8) Lot of softies in there but, I like it. ;D

I like the associations you made:
The Car Was The One / Speedway At Nazareth
Brothers In Arms / So Far From The Clyde
I would like, to have Border Reveir at the beginning and Piper To The End ... at the end.
-
I actually have fallen in love with border reiver it's great ,i hope they perform it live
-
:) ;) :D
Border Reiver
You can

I also have have the opinion that some songs on GL are written consciously to replace some live-evergreens. Funny enough that in some review "Before Gas & TV" was called a "new Telegraph Road", only much simpler. And indeed "Remembrance Day" has a BIA feeling, whereas "Piper to the End" especially the
final part, sounds as a good closing song to replace going home. So my personal dream-set list would be this one:
(Funnily enough I posted this setlist in one of my last posts at MKNEWS, shortly before I discovered this forum here. It was July 8th, and I had no clue about the new album. I remembered it today and had a look, with the knowledge of the album today. I still think it would work out nicely:)
1. Fare Thee Well Northumberland (10 minutes, Richard has his new bouzuki)
2. Border Reiver (Richard can play on his new bouzuki, MK plays on LP)
3.What It Is
4. Sailing To Philadelphia
5.True Love Will Never Fade
6.Cleaning My Gun
7. Hill Farmer
-
great idea's. love the portobello idea. don't forget Silvertown Blues! and Fade to Black...a.ahhhhh FTB....
-
Many good ideas here. But i really hope we get some change!
I hope the set is going to last 15 to 20 minutes longer.
Please don't play Sailing To Philadelphia after What It Is and Sultans after Romeo again (why do so many of you want that? I admit it's likely to happen, but is that what you wish?).
I'd love it if he played Brothers In Arms, but I would prefer him to move it out of the enchores section.
1. Once upon a time in the west
2. Golden heart
3. New
4. New
5. Money for nothing
6. Expresso love
7. Water of love/Down to the waterline
8. Single handed sailor
9. R

I was watching a video of StP from Prague 2008 yesterday on YouTube and taking into account the outro where John and Mark duel on the whistle and guitar respectively I began to ponder... Will more songs in the same set list with a whistle sound okay or should one replace another so there isn't a predominance of whistles (except from the audience that is!) That's why I thought perhaps StP would get replaced by GL, that is if GL is played.
-
Cleaning My Gun for the opener.
-
I agreed with mossguitar on the opener, and with dmg on SFA.
However, I think that if mark's gonna play what it is without that solo, he might as well drop it. And SoS, hehe (don't kill me), it they are going to continue to play it slow again, they can drop it also.
They could instead revive some old DS great songs (WDYTYG, News, DTTW, SBK, anything), but it looks like it's not likely to happen.
I hope TR and Speedway stays.

Going home
I think that the following songs will be kicked out:
True Love,Fish and the Bird,SL,STP and maybe also TR and SFA. I hope so. Time for some new tunes in the set.
5 DS tunes are more than enough.
But which tunes from GL are not made for a Live concert? Or will not work?
-
Steinei, I also hope Shangri-La will get kicked. I used to love this song but I think it has become boring now...
As for songs that couldn't work... Don't ask me why but somehow I don't think he will play "So Far From The Clyde"... Same goes for 5:15am. Maybe because the stories are way too strong and the lyrics would "go under"... You know what I mean? I would LOVE to hear them, though. "Cleaning My Gun" would be cool and "Border Reiver would be an awesome opener.
Oh and PLEASE no "Bonaparte" and - even though I might get kicked for saying this - he could omit BiA as well *ducks and runs*
-
I hope for "We can get wild" with LP or Strat (no wammy bar, please!) , with nice solos from MK & Richard.

GH - i agree with your omissions - though i recall from Guys forum discussions of a much more varied tour this year with the potential of alternating songs from one night to the next - my god - this has been unheard of!!! ;D

I never understood why they had the same rigid set list night after night on the KTGC tour, with a few minor adjustments here and there.
They're all talented and skilled musicians, so I'm suprised they didn't get bored playing the same songs night after night. Surely they'd like to stretch themselves a bit more - they surely have the ability.
As for the next setlist, i'd like to see more from the Dire Straits/Communique albums and not necessarily Sultans of Swing. I think we can do without Brothers In Arms and So Far Away this time round too. It's been done to death and it's nearly as depressing as the way Clapton always finishes with Wonderful Tonight, Sunshine of Your Love, Cocai.....zzzzz......zzzz...
-
Seems it's been a common trait right from the early DS days, MK likes to keep things controlled and fairly rigid, meaning sets are almost always the same and indeed, solos are usually identical night after night.
I remember reading an interview with Clapton years ago where he commented that MK wants everything exactly the same every night, right down to how hard a cymbal is hit, but he likes his bands to be more improvisational.

That's interesting what Clapton said. I have to question any artist's ability when they play it that safe. On the opposite end of that spectrum, you have an artist like Prince who rehearsed 100 songs for his 21 night O2 residency in 2007 and played different set lists every night as a result.
Clapton's another artist that can be hit and miss. Some nights he can be on auto-pilot, then other nights he can blow you away and remind you why he was known as God.
I still think that his recorded output since the mid-90's has been more exciting and varied than MK's, particularly Reptile. No snooze inducing celtic folk on there.
-
Don't want to turn this into an "I Hate..." thread, but I'm not a huge fan of Clapton. Of course his songwriting is nowhere near the level of MK, and guitar wise he seems to be on "Blues autopilot" a lot of the time, yes it may be "improvised", but really it's the same licks he's been playing for 40 years.
MK's different directions may not be to everyone's tastes, but at least he's not playing the same stuff again and again and again...
-
again, best example of how a dream setlist could be is Bob Dylan, the man has been alternating songs every single night for the past 3500 shows....as in, every night, new songs, sometimes more the 80% compared to the night before.
sometimes that leads to a miss, but mostly it keps the whole affair fresh.

Well everybody has his style. E.g., Dave Gilmour kinda sounds that "it's the same licks he's been playing for" 20-25(?) years, at least to me. If MK would play just Rock&Roll, it would sound the same. EC sounds kinda the same. That's probably what some people like about certain artists.
I would personally prefer MK to play just Rock and roll although it may sound the same and "autopilotish". If he is getting into different directions just not to sound the same (which he is not), thanks, but no thanks.
If EC is guitarwise on autopilot, so is MK imho because he is playing the same set every night.
MK's different directions may not be to everyone's tastes, but at least he's not playing the same stuff again and again and again...
you're right, it's not so much to my taste.

Just listening to "The Long Road" and I'd love to hear this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
pjh3121 - I bought "Reptile" and I found it to be really boring! Far too many covers of songs. I have played it at the most about 4 times and now it is consigned to the very back of my CD drawer! It just proves that everyone is different and it would be dull if we were all the same! ;)
-
I love your encores Tobi! My choice as well.
But anyway, it's a pity MK doesn't start in Amsterdam. Last year, Pottel arrived at my home a day earlier and after a good, long and intensive visit to some pubs during the night we predicted the setlist very well, do you remember Maarten? (hard to remember because of the hangover, but that part I remember very well ;D)

Interesting choice's - a great mix - but a few problems - this would make the concert about 3 hours initially and how could anyone but Paul Franklin play on YAYF - i somehow cant see him on tour with MK next year as much as i would like to see him.....ahh well - as i said - great selection!
-
The main reason to put YAYF on the setlist is to have Paul Franklin on stage with MK again ;)
If this would happen, I am going to scream so loud you can hear it all over the world, I'd love to see PF back :)

ouch... 8)

I think Border Riever will kick off each set - it lends itself to being the first song played. It will get the crowd going with the tempo.
-
I think in the middle part of the set after Sultans we're going to get Marbletown, Get Lucky and Moneleone (the last two with the chair out ;D) going by the songs from the showcases so far.
Funny if he played So Far From the Clyde in Glasgow since the SECC stands virtually on the banks of the Clyde!
-
I hope Mark will play Behind with the Rent, just as he played it at the pre-show from the Hurlingham Club Gig.
With Guy/Matt on the piano/keyboards it`ll sound great!
It`s one of my favorite songs from Mark.

One vote from me for "behind with the rent" It has always been my favorite. I wonder if MK was ever "Behind with the rent" when he first started out. along with that " silvertown Blues" will make a nice middle song. Postcard from Paraguay, Baloney again, Back to Tupelo , Hill Farmers' Blues are all my favorites. May be MK will surprise his fans by opening the show with a DS song like "ride across the river" or " once upon a time in the west" of course "So far from Clyde" "Piper to the end" those are some of my dream list.

ROFL Nathalie! ;D

Great setlist, Fieneke! One of the best suggestions here IMO :) And you avoided the usual pairs: Sultans & Romeo, What It Is and Sailing etc. :)

THANK YOU!!! ;D
