Mark's famous lyrics from Tunnel of Love will be a part of the new public piazza in front of the Spanish City Dome in Whitley Bay...

But I doubt that it will happen....

Indeed.
My nickname for TOL is "the martyr song".
It is up there  among MK's (and the world's) very best songs of all times, but it has not been played for 21 years now. It did not deserve this fate...
Come on Mark ! They only thing that make me forgive you for retiring TR is to replace it with TOL like in the OES tour good old days...
And I want the break in the middle for band introductions, too ! :)

So true! Without doubt the most wanted song by fans, but for some reason it seems to be long gone. In connection with the 2010 tour, Guy said this on his forum:

He actually categorically didn't want to play that tune as it was suggested by one of the band.

So it was suggested, but he did say no... I hope he has changed his mind :)

Some 85/86 live versions are just incredible.

Or this one from the the Mandela-warmup-gigs in 1988:
 

I also hope he will play it during the next tour, with the long break with band-introductions. But I doubt he ever will.... And *if* he's gonna play it again, please without flutes, mandolines, etc etc...  Just guitars/bass/drums/keyboards as it used to be!
