Could be helpfull  :D I have the idea that hubby wants to have dinner tonight. I take my ipad with me, because that restaurant gave me their private wifi-code (kind of second home for me, when I am too lazy or too late to cook  :P)
But maybe more convenient to send you the setlist and you do it then. We will see, it's still early so decisions about what and where will be made later.

Thanks Dutchessy  :thumbsup

Leaving to Milan in a couple of hours

I hope to get Kingdom of Gold cause I'd like to hear how the blue Pensa sounds live, the Pensas all sound pretty different live compared to any recording, especially the Soundboard ones

Soooooo excited for you.  I can relate to the anticipation.  Hope KOG is played for you.  And another great show !!!!!

So that's 3 other songs that they rehearsed then.

No, no... not TLWNF.... there are so many beautiful songs to play... why go and pick this one, one of the very few I would label as BAD ? :(

True love is for me the most boring song from the Crimson record, I dont know why he choose that one. The fish was good but that record has songs like "Let it all go" that could sound better but...

... but its MK who choose  ;D

Shangri-La is a wonderful album in my opinion... I love the "californian" sound of the album, especially Summer of love, but it's only a B-side...

John Mc Cusker said he had listened to DS albums in his car driving to London for the rehearsals.
Until now, the only surprises in the setlist are from MK's solo albums...
From DS, I'd like to have The man's too strong in the set !

Back To Tupelo is great, one of the best from the SL album. Other faves is Boom and Postcards.
Really like Prairie Wedding too. STP is still my fave album by MK.
True Love is a skipper for me at the KTGC album. I love Punish The Monkey and Behind With The Rent.

Will never forget I met Guy in Oslo before the concert there in 2005, he told us that they might be playing Back To Tupelo that evening. They did, and it was really beautiful. That concert was also the only thing I have attended together with both of my divorced parents :) And because of that BTT brings back some really nice memories of a very special night for me... :)

I would be glad if he didn't play anything from KTGC apart from PTM, to be honest the rest of the album is dross- MK's worst album by quite a gap, he's so much better than what was put out on that cd.

I hope he gives OES a go somewhere on this tour.
(Back To Tupelo would be a good choice as well)

Which song of these three ever, isn't it awesome what they do this tour? Can anybody remember them playing them such a variety of songs, even rehearsing 3 songs (True Love in the album indeed is not very spectacular, but the Cittern (and Danny's drumming) did a lot to the live version. Really loved that song live! But whatever, it is phantastic to have such a great range of song! I guess it will be an expensive summer (stick-wise...)

I must say, I am really really surprised by MK, never thought we would be lucky enough to see such a variation in the setlists! He is almost becoming a Springsteen light now in terms of changing the set each night :)

R&J is great on this tour.  His vocal has more passion and the end solo is better too.  Even if you aren't fond of the song it's worth it for the end solo surely?  That's pure MK.

I Used To Could is just a little three minutes fun and cannot be changed with a more dramatic tune like Yon Two Crows or Kingdom of Gold. Mark wants a balanced set, and there has to be a little "fun" number - and for me this is better than "Bonaparte Fun"... Plus the guitar work on I Used To Could sounds really great at the Bucharest show, both Mark and Richard. So please: I U T C stays in!

yes Tupelo was played

1st part of Sultans was pretty strange, don't remember exactly why,
final solo even stranger and great

final solo in Telegraph super

same for SFA final solo and pretty long, probably to 'correct' a major error MK did a bit earlier in the song

Hope you have time to write a review of the show.  Would love to read about it from AMIT member.  :)

On Guy's forum the compilation idea has been suggested again today.

I remember guy saying the first time it was "an interesting idea"....

imagine, if there was a DVD/CD release, with a special limited box edition, featuring a special usb stick with a comp of rarely played songs....
If I could give an advice, maybe don't rush to buy all sticks now....wait a little bit...who knows ?

I agree about the cymbals too, but I wonder if Ian's drumming has powered MK's playing, because he is certainly playing with lots more energy on this tour!   I was a bit worried too about Jim's piano on certain songs that Matt had played so beautifully before, eg R&J and TR, but I think he is doing a great job, so no worries now!    ;)

I agree about the cymbals too, but I wonder if Ian's drumming has powered MK's playing, because he is certainly playing with lots more energy on this tour!   I was a bit worried too about Jim's piano on certain songs that Matt had played so beautifully before, eg R&J and TR, but I think he is doing a great job, so no worries now!    ;)

I agree with MK playing with renewed energy on this tour. Perhaps the pain he felt in the back in 2010 and the fact that he had to play certain songs like Sultans or Speedway on a chair were responsible of that relative lack of energy.

I miss too Matt on some songs. If you can, listen to the Vancouver 2005 version of Telegraph Road, the band and mainly Matt was on fire that night. Never beaten since and never will be IMO.

As for the drums, there's only one thing to do now : call the same man who already saved the 2005 tour.  :disbelief :disbelief :disbelief :clap

Mikey debuting on the guitar?

I didn't notice that! Think so, yes! Is that one of Marks' Martins?

yes it seems to be one

as Mike plays cittern, guitar is not really "debuting" for him I guess

I do think it has (also) to do with Ian.
The monotonous setlists full of SfSL and other hp songs began after the 2005 tour needed to be "saved".
Nothing personal, really, but I know why Boothbay was so fantastic...
Really a pity something went wrong with CC.

The setlists at the very beginning of the 2005 tour were the same as later, with the only exception of The Trawlerman's song, played only once.

You may like or dislike some band members but I am pretty certain that the choice of songs are nothing to see with the musicians. It's Mark's choice only, Guy confirmed this many times. Mark may like "playing safe" which I don't mind too much after all because the songs remain great, but at last it's good that he varies a bit on this tour.

Talking about musicians, I've just checked the version of Speedway form Milan last evening and funnily (?) compared it with the ones with Emmy back in 2006, which were MILES AHEAD the most recent ones.

Oh and, by the way, were the 2006 setlists boring ?

You may not like DC's style, as I clearly dislike Ian's drumming if you're asking me, but please don't imply that the repetitive setlists were because of Danny being in the band. With all respect, this is insane.  >:(

Where ? When ? Did he hit too much on songs like Sailing to Philadelphia or Brothers in arms ? Rudiger ? The mist covered mountains (Local hero intro in 2005) ? True love will never fade ? Piper to the end ?

No, the difference with Danny is that he knew WHEN to hit hard. But he was versatile too.

Horsepower ?

Maybe during the 2002 shows, which were clearly amazing I do think.

And I didn't mind too much because Danny made some songs grow in intensity, check the Brothers in arms final, which is sublime IMO, though I can admit this is a matter of taste after all.

Horsepower after the first half of the 2005 saved tour? None at all, he backed off cause he is a smart guy too.

In terms of "hitting", it is of my opinion that DC played songs like f. ex Sultans more soft and groovy than IT does, he is very straightforward in a "hard" way and to some extent I feel that he lacks some of DCs feel. No offence though, an excellent drummer but I would still prefer DC..

Agreed, it's indeed MK who decides about the songs, that's absolutely right. Maybe Guy assisting.

It's only that I've never got over the feeling that he had to adapt the setlist to DC's style.
Again: I'm not questioning his skills, I'm talking about his style. Live, that is. Studio is always different.
And I'll never forget what MK said about drummers in Boothbay (and what a set he played there!)

I absolutely prefer DC at drums. It's a matter of: I didn't notice drums at all till DC. So he really did something which has  touched me.
I only heard one concert complete so far, the first one, but I definately prefer DC. I don't like cimbals that much. I do like the strong, and also soften, drumming of DC. Time of PW and CC is far behind us. I didn't really listen to their drumming, as said before, the first one making me aware of drums was DC. So he will be the one for me forever I guess. Falling in love with music is really a matter of taste.

He was IN PHASE with Mark. Same feeling, same class, same everything.

Same as you, I was just OK with drums prior DC but the very first time I heard him live - coincidently his first gig ever with Mark on the drums - it all changed. He had me, I never looked back since then and I still don't understand why the f**k he is not in the band anymore.

I agree with you, Ingrid.  The same thing happened with me.  It was at Edinburgh 2005 and ironically, it was Danny's drumming on Sonny Liston which made me aware of how great he was!   That's when I realised how important the drummer is to a band.   With Ian, I hear the drums, but they are not very subtle at times when they should be - Danny knew about subtlety and he could be Mr Horsepower too!    :)

Hello , I did not check all the 12 pages of thi topic but who noticed that in Milan Mark did encounter a problem with his guitar during SOS and did drop some of the usual licks for the solo?

Two shows in a row and no Sonny Liston nor Bonaparte but Postcard back and the beautifull F&S as well. That was good move to my taste.

Will he have the balls to drop TR?

I just noticed MK forgot to present Glenn Worf during Paraguay Intro

he was too busy singing some strange stuff while presenting :D
The band deserves more than a Dylan style introduction.  :think

After listening (again) to the Milan Sultans:

What exactly was wrong with his guitar on that night? Do we know? And did it happen during the song (if so, when, what exact second?) He says after the
song "need to fix my guitar"... What tells us that something went wrong? Sorry if these questions sound stupid...

If he really realizes during the song that something on the guitar is broken and still plays on and delivers such a great version, he is really a genius. Now I want to think to what extent the playing was influenced by the defect thing, whatever it was. Can some guitar freak tell me? (Ingo maybe??)

Thanks in acvance!

I wote about it in the Turin topic :


Something went wrong, a glitch at 4'00, and all the final solo is only played on the "treeble" chords, and he does not play the usual little thing.
And what is he saying at 8:35 about "yeah pitch in my guitar..."?

Pensaboy disagreed with my remark regarding that he played only the treeble string, and was right. But when witnessing the problem live I spent checking what was wrong during all the final solo especially when the day before SOS final solo sounded right.

He is saying (almost as an excuse and directly before he starts Gator Blood)  at 8:35 "Just fixing my guitar".. and after that "... switching problem there"..

I must admit I have no clue what you mean with "treeble" chords... I am no musician...

Questions, questions...

My bad, wrong word from me. Not "chords" but "string"  - phonetically  "chord" is the french word for "string" and "rope" - and  I mixed it.


And a "string" in french is  ;D

Ok, then, I give it another try then:

What was to be switched on the guitar? And when he says it so closely before he starts Gator Blood, I think that the Gator Blood guitar was not ok then?
So there was no broken guitar on Sultans?

Yes there was something wrong from 4'00'' and the end solo wasn't sounding good to my hear but I couldn't see what was wrong, no broken string but I suspected that one was suddenly out of tune or something like that and Mark avoided to play on it.

I agree with Pensaboy : nothing specially wrong here. no broken string, no out of tune, no problem IMHO
It's "just" that the solo is almost completely different from usual

about "fixing the guitar", I think it's more about gator blood :  the strap is maybe not correctly fixed ? or the capo isn't corectly fixed ?
remember that for Gator blood he has to take the bottleneck, maybe is he searching it in the dark ? maybe all of this at the same time ?  ::)

usually, "switching" on a guitar means switching the pick-ups combination. Glenn Sagger has to prepare the guitar for Mark : right tunning of course, but also the right switch position.
maybe is it wrong here ?

or maybe is he talking about switching between the 2 guitars ?  ;D
"wait a minute Glenn, let me take off the red strat before giving me the white one !"  :smack ;D :D

exactly

the same for the 4'00 note which is not an error or a problem but a single out of tune note
which MK played intentionally, it's a special musical scale he uses sometimes.

he just drank some good wine in italy that evening, that's it :)

What can I say is at that exact moment at least two of us did notice it.

So the usual "play everything" joke from the past tour will be replaced with "play it voluntary wrong"  ;D

There's nothing wrong with the solo. That "glitch" is done intentionally.

it's surely not easy to understand for a person who doesn't play when an out of tune note is done
intentionally or not

any at least good player can tell that the 4'00 is done intentionally

Maybe but from the audience it certainly sounded not melodious.

agree 100% with pensaboy and Mojoiglesias, it's obviously intentional
but I understand what Ds1984 says : the audience could have found this a little bit strange
