What its the same from 2005 to 2008 is the second part of the show. Last tour I was amazed with the first half, with all that songs we never heard, mixed with some we heard too much (why aye man, what it is, stp, sultans, romeo), but the second half was quite dissapointed, as I heard it so many times, nothing new except new arrangements that made TR more boring to me and the rest of songs hadn

I like the 2001 much more than the last one.
The things already said, like less and less soloing, to much fiddling, and so on. There was a solo in HFB, but what kind of What it is was that? He didn't have to play it at all that way. Also SOS, and TR?? It looks to me as though in 5 years in the future, there will be max 1 rock and roll song on a tour.
I don't listen to 2008 bootlegs (dont wanna fall asleep due to nonexistence of energy), there were much better tours. I would surely like a soundboard from 2001.

boboDS - That just proves the diversity of our tastes, because I listen to the 2008 concerts a lot and love them, but listening to a 2001 concert is hard going - MK made far too many mistakes, SOS from Chicago is terrible.

True.

By the way to me the decline of SOS began after 1996 tour, Chicago 2001 just proves it.

Even the first half was remarkably similar. We all know that Cannibals and Walk of Life are more or less the same song anyway. Why Aye Man was the same, What It Is was the same Sailing to Philadelphia was the same, Rome was the same, Sultans was the same etc. Done With Bonaparte and Sonny Liston even popped up sometimes.

Yes, it was nice to see Hill Farmers Blues and Marbletown, but overall the sets were pretty similar. 2006 was just lazy, no wonder there was so much duplication, they only rehearsed for a few days or something.

On the next tour, I would like the long version of SOS to be played as in OES  and Golden Heart, because there did seem to be a decline from then and I'm ready to hear that version again after such a long time!   :)

I remember on the first two nights in Amsterdam 2008, everyone was really happy with the set-list, but of course, Devil Baby and DGTK didn't make it much further into the tour!   I'm glad I was there to hear them played live.   I still loved the show when I saw it in Edinburgh and Newcastle though!   :)

We got Postcards and Secondary Waltz in Newcastle and Edinburgh though, lots of people weren't so lucky...

I also did get Postacrds, but I would feel luckier if What it is and TR were done with proper solos.

At least the final solo is always good :)
But the first one wasn't.

Didn't have a problem with the cittern, but MK staying on the National for so long left big gaps in the song. Not good.

Surely you must agree though that MK's playing was devoid of all energy during the KtGC tour.  

No we don't have to agree, I don't.

I didn't mean it literally.  It's a common phrase used in the UK, sorry for the loss in translation.

I never liked the shorter versions of Sultans at first but I mostly found myself flicking through the piano break to MK's guitar anyway and now I love the shorter ones especially from the StP tour.  Granted the Chicago one isn't the greatest but there are so many great ones to choose from in good sound quality:
Amsterdam 17.06.01
London 05.06.01
Lucca 07.07.01
Lyon 27.06.01
New York City 30.04.01
Nimes 28.06.01
Oslo 26.07.01
San Francisco 18.05.01
Wallingford 24.04.01
Zurich 05.07.01

and many more...
