so the usual.... ;D
-
Nothin 'usual' about these guys! :)
-
So this must be the first time since 1980 or something that he takes exactly the same band as on the tour before... Now that must mean something... ;D
Well, at least in Europe...

Yeah,a very similar set list to last time except for 1 or 2 tracks from GL -hope I'm wrong ::) ::)
-
Hmmm, no, I would be a little bit more confident. I think Mark had the tour in mind when he produced the music from GL. I am pretty sure Border Reiver
and Piper To The End will be played, and as long as he changes some "oldies" (yes, even TR or Speedway could be changed in my opinion as long as we are able to hear some "fresh" stuff), it will be fine with me. I wonder if we ever will hear Portobello Belle again, would be great with Matty
-
The time has come to drop "So Far Away" this time, I hope! ::)
-
Yes, I agree. And "Our Shangri-La". And "What it is".... ::)
LE
-
Also "Wye Aye Man"!
-
I hope Mark will play, A night in summer long ago, what a masterpiece!!!

-
hope he won't put back Money for nothing and Walk Of Life!!
I'd love to hear again Hill Farmer blues, golden Heart...
I trust him :-) if we could have as many surprises as we got in 2008 ! i would be delighted :D

Hmm, was only about 6 wasn't it?
Cannibals, Hill Farmer's Blues, Marbletown, Daddy's Gone to Knoxville (soon dropped), Postcards From Paraguay, Devil Baby for one night. The rest was all very predictable.
-
Border Reveir will be on the 2010 setist:
We'll have to wait and see the outcome of the rehearsals before I discuss any potential set-lists, although I'm sure we'll have a crack at Border R.. Happy New Year.

I hope it will be played as an opening of the show.

However I learned over the yeas that you can

Guy to discuss potential set lists? Now that is a radical development!!
-
Just because Guy thinks they should have a crack at Border Reiver at rehearsals, it doesn't mean 1) they will have a go at it during rehearsals 2) it will make the set list

That's really only four then!
-
Some of us had "Secondary Waltz" and we had "Going Home" instead of "The Wild Theme", too. :)
-
Iwas fortunate enough to hear Going Home last time! ;D
But on the whole, i agree with the other sentiments here...tour personnel being the same - yeah - i can see that being a good thing - they are a talented bunch of guys.
However, concernes over the setlist do still remain...
Calling Elvis - No thanks - hang up the phone
Walk of Life - No - sit back down
What it is - No it isnt - not again!
Telegraph Road - The road to nowhere
Romeo & Sultans - We arent gonna get away without these are we - no matter what anyone thinks about not playing them this time
Why Aye Man - Oh God Man (no!)
Speedway - mmmmm - if im honest - no
Money for Nothing - Money for NOT playing it??
There is so much quality back catalogue material - and yes - iknow the arguement about signposts in peoples lives and they are now "our" songs as we have played them at significant times in our lives etc - but i really do feel the setlist could do with a good shake up - oldies are good - but fresh oldies please! Oh and a nice dollop of Get Lucky - as tunes like Get Lucky, Cleaning My Gun, Piper, Border Reiver etc - shouldnt be overlooked ;)
-

OK, I forgot about Going Home, I suppose having the full band version was a bit of a surprise (if having music from Local Hero in any form at teh end of a Mark Knopfler concert can be considered a "surprise"), and I loved it, but Secondary Waltz wasn't a surprise, I guess the surprise was that he played so little off the new album.
-
Personally, I would love it if they played WOL SFA and MFN. Well, not really personnally but I'm hoping to take my 5 year old and he loves these songs, I am afraid he's not so much into the "slow songs" as he puts it

Calling Elvis - was only ever performed properly on the OES tour. Without the pedal steel and extra percussion it sounded terrible.
Walk of Life - became "Stroll" of Life.
What It Is - was one song they never quite got right live - it always lacked the power and energy of the studio version.
Telegraph Road - must get played unless they decide to play Tunnel of Love which will not happen - you need an epic to finish the show properly IMO.
Why Aye Man - I love this song! Keep it in.
Speedway - If ever a song was made to be played live this is it. Any crowd would go mad.
Money - Could replace Brothers now, or So Far Away
Please no more So Far Away - it's the same every time and it was bland the first time and they can drop Our Shangri-La for me now too and Sailing to Philadelphia. Two good songs but not great live songs in that they just slow the pace down just far too much. True Love Will Never Fade can go but he'll have to play one from that album so I guess that'll stay.
-
I agree, "Calling Elvis was great on the OES tour, but I really liked it at Vaison and Copenhagen '96 too! Also I liked it on some of the NHS shows - it was a bit funky and different to the other versions! :)
-
I would reduce the DS stuff to just "Sultans" (although it sounds worse tour after tour) and "Romeo" (which is the same tour over tour, except for the few secons intro) and the rest, Mark Knopfler solo stuff.
-
Also I liked it on some of the NHS shows
The NHS shows were good, but not as good as the BUPA ones.

ROFL, dusty! ;D I was having another of my senior moments, obviously! :o

The thing is that they will have two extra musicians for US & Canada that won

"Going Home" would have sounded even better if he had played it with the Les Paul again. That 96 version was fantastic!
As for the songs I could do without, I'm afraid my first vote would go to "Brothers In Arms"... I really don't know why but I've gotten tired of it Also, PLEASE, no "Our Shangri-La" again or I'll personally climb up onstage and rip out MK's whammy bar!

Listen to 96's version again.

Always hated the '96 versions and '01 versions; the pedal steel guitar is an integral part of that song I feel. The extra percussion helps too. I also don't think the LP suits the song.

Aaaah, yes, the whammy bar... ;D
I could help if you really would.... 8)

I'll hold him down for you while you rip it out! Bonus is it'll stop him doing SFA too! Who's gonna hold back PC? Anyone...? ;D

SFA on acoustic and then 20 minutes long version of TOL ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I hope someone is brave enough in the US or Canada to videotape one of that shows if us, the europeans, wants to see the band playing with Tim and Michael :(

I hope that audio recording will still be authorized.
Or that Mark will deal with THEMUSIC.com and provide 2010 show in lossless quality
And re-release a bunch of 2005 ones and release some 2008 as well...

Audio recording is authorized as far as I know, because their reasons to forbid the video recordings are that they disturb the band and the enjoyment of the other people in the audience, and audio recordings is very subtle with the new minidiscs and mics :)
-
Forget minidisc... there are many hard drive / compact flash recorders out now that can get the job done.

Yes, but ensure to invest in a seperate mic because the built-in ones are usually rubbish and certainly not up to the job of recording a music concert and are for speech only. You must remember to check whether your machine has phantom power to the mic or not before you buy the mic because if it doesn't then you'll need a battery operated mic.
-
thanks for the tip dmg. any suggestions as to which brand of recorder/mic?
-
I wasn't sure where to post this and I didn't want to start another thread but I have just discovered this little video of the Band from TV, a charity band whose name is self-explanatory I think. Anyway you can see my favourite TV doc playing a mini guitar called Mandocaster; you think this could be a nice addition instrument-wise for MK's band? ;D
