One, two.
I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home

I'm sure there will be new songs.

The highest you dream, the highest you fall.

It's MK who we are talking about.

Look at the Tracker tour.

The tracker tour MK was in good shape and playing comfortably. This is his last tour and looks like he is not comfortable at all playing.

You're definitely right. But Mark certainly has a few surprises for us :)

Hmmm, Maybe a few we may not want!

Yes, dropping off more songs...
You might get lucky, now and then

Oh and that's only the 6th show out of an 85-shows tour for an "old man". Strap yourself in for even more action down the line :lol

I'm getting quite worried about the length of the tour.   I think he may have bitten off more than he can chew - I hope I'm wrong!   ;)

Everyone has different expectations. Mark will not satisfy everyone.

The fact Mark decides to stop touring show us that he is already tired, otherwise he wouldn't have announced it.

So despite some struggle he's probably doing his best to make this tour a great one.

Regarding setlist variation I guess that Mark will do some new inclusion when he will think it is the right time to do so but for now he concentrates on the current songs.

If 2.5 hours is too long for him, he should skip some of the fillers, like CBC and YLT. Short can still be great, but a short show with several insignificant songs? No way to say goodbye.

Corned beef city is already so overplayed as was walk of life... It wasn't a good song not even the first time he played, just decent...

Correct.  Never great but did a job in the set of being a faster paced number early on.  I agree with Hunter too.  Just imagine he dropped it this tour though.  The first part of the show would send everyone to sleep with the slow pace of it.  Really, they should've replaced it with another pacy song.

YLT can be scrapped altogether as far as I'm concerned.  It's never been good live and the recent versions have been the most laconic, stodgy and pedestrian-paced versions of all-time. Does anyone in the band actually think it sounds okay?

Well, Guy always thinks everything is wonderful.   I hope he is reading this forum today, because he ought to!   ;)

I agree.

But the only thing counting is how you feel when leaving the venue.

Like the beginning is like the aperitif you eat before the main course arrives.

Well I like YLT. But CBC in preference to WII? Nonsense.

CBC is one of the greatest songs of the set.

I hope Radio City Serenade.
