Title: Opening song prediction for DTRW Tour
Post by: Millionaire Blues on January 28, 2019, 02:42:36 PM
Any predictions for setlist opener in Barcelona??

I reckon it will be between:

Nobody Does That
Trapper Man
Good on you son..

Hoping against all sanity for Down to the Waterline..

 ;D

Likely to be a new one.  Maybe GOYS or Dancefloor?  Dancefloor I think.

Certain its gonna be BOTDF - it would so work especially with the opening few notes before MK comes to life...

Trapper Man.

One Song at a time for the finale - dream :)

Trapper Man has been in my mind since I first started to think about which is the opener...

Partly because the very calm beginning before Ian kicks off his drums could be a good way to start the concert,
partly since on Tracker tour, first track of the album was the opener (Broken Bones), so if it's this simple that it's the same way again then yes, Trapper Man will be the opener this time!

I don't like BOTDF as much as the other songs, the worst song of the album so I really hope they don't open with this one. The fact that it's probably featured elsewhere in the setlist is something I'll just have to accept  8)

That was my logic too.  Best ever has to be opening with RAtR when Mark hits the first note on the guitar and then the stage lights finally go on.  BANG!  That would be a dream this tour but it just isn't going to happen.

Not sure about Trapper Man, really. I don't think it has the oomph of an opener. Not the album version anyway. It's kind of sluggish to me.

I'd say either Trapper Man or Back On The Dance Floor... but I'd prefer the latter.

I don't think trapper man is going to be played.

Why?

Usually rule that applies with MK. What the fans want? Then is not happening.

I really hope it's going to be Trapper Man, love the song and think it's a perfect opening!

Having said that i'm fairly confident it will be Back on the Dance Floor,  I also think Nobody Does That could also be chosen,

So excited for the tour, I really loved this new record (and tracker) Bring on July!

Both my forecast and my wish go to BOTDF:
-it is catchy
-Great for a comeback after 4 years absence
-Mark seems to love the song, he said so in an interview, so high probability to be on the setlist, and makes more sense as an opener
-I don't like Trapper Man very much...sounds dull to me, I don't see what people like so much about it. Of course Mark could still chose it as an opener, as he did for the dull Broken Bones...
