I have seen that strat being tuned by Glenn during Amsterdam encores. I wondered why, maybe they really decide the last song on stage?

Nice playing by Richard, closer to the album version.
Brass on everything these days it seems but played nicely by the two youngsters. Inevitable last word on the song by Ianto "Ego" Thomas  ::)
Nice version but needs some more outings to get played with more confidence.

Mark's unsteady footing at the end really gives me a hard time. I so hope and pray we will not be presented with a Parkinson's diagnosis or similar by Mark  later. From my point of view there are many hints to something really serious. Very hard to see him in this condition. Especially when you always thought MK had the coolest walking style in on Earth ever...

I understand your fear, I could look at him well in A'dam. It was as if he really had a pain in his wrist. Kind of cramping.
He looks very fragile physically, not mentally!

Thanks!

Interesting choice of order, You would think:

MFN
SFA
PTTE/GH

would make more sense, interested to hear the 3 in order to hear how it sounds,

Glad he's mixing it up a bit, I do have quite a soft spot for GH though!

I'm not sure SFA is the song Guy was talking about. What kinda special trumpet mute does Tom need for this?
Let's see if there's something else in the pipelines.

Actually the mute doesn't had anything to do with they were rehearsing the brass arrangements for So Far Away, Guy just connected that they were working on them and Tom told him about the mute search he had saved on ebay.

Looking at GH this tour he has been really struggling with it, even using the LP.  The LP totally ruins the song for me so in all honesty SFA is a step up this time, especially as it sounded pretty good and more akin to the album version.

When introducing the band in Antwerp he was sitting on his chair and when introducing Tom he said something like, tricky for me turning around like this. Could be nothing but looking at the way he also walks on stage one could say he has some (serious)  back problems.....

give me 2 minutes to understand the situation thank you, I am new to the MK world

too many songs from BIA album overall in the tour and getting rid of BIA to get the overplayed SFA is not exactly very smart imo

a great setlist in Barcelona getting worse and worse and worse

I like David Gilmour live approach, both last 2 tours he played 90-100% of the new album + many good selections from the past,
MK plays very few songs from the album, sometimes even just 1, and then also a strange selection of past songs

He's been struggling with Going Home, hence the switch to the most unsuitable Les Paul.  Still struggling and looking ahead to the rest of the tour he's decided to stop playing it.  SFA has been used in recent times to end the show.

I agree though, it isn't exactly thinking outside the box.  It's typical of Mark to take the safe option, one they could play in their sleep.   ::)

Seriously though GH has not been well played, it has sounded bad on the LP and has been very slow this tour.

I was like you dmg, in that I was sad to see the LP being used for GH, but after listening to the majority of the concerts of this tour I've warmed literally to the sound and dimension the LP has given to this beautiful tune. I still prefer the Strat obviously and I'm sure he wasn't struggling playing it either to be honest..

Really?  Something I have noticed this tour is the lack of chemistry between Mark and Graeme compared to last tour with Nigel when they always shared a few smiles.

Mark has needed to take a break half-way through GH since 2002(?) so in reality it's probably been a strain since then.

I loved Nigel playing GH in 2015 and especially at the Manchester concert.   Graeme is a great sax player too, but I prefer Nigel - he has much more personality and rapport with MK.

Must say I’m quite impressed with Graeme’s playing. Indeed, his stage attitude is a bit more reserved and he seems a bit less connected with band and audience but in the end it is all about the music and what he plays is really very good if you ask me. For instance, the exchange of soli with Mark en John in STP is absolutely fantastic. Nigel is a great sax player but added significantly less to a MK concert when he was around compared to Graeme now. I remember many half-baked uninspired solos on IUTC and I never heard one good solo (start to finish) on OES. Concerning OES the same goes for Graeme sadly, I don’t understand why the guys in band don’t tell him (and Nigel in the past) to stop aiming for those long ear-hurting high notes on the soprano.
