Maybe you have alreary nocited this: http://www.timobrien.net/journal.cfm Good information about songs and what Tim plays. Overdriven Telecaster in Coyote. And Telecaster in cleaning my gun, so the song might rock! But we can speculate a lot...how it will be in Europe. I don

I am waiting for setlist and info....Anyone??

About Tim O'Briens site:
Now that is what I call really interstesting Notes from the Road! Not always about planes and restaurants (he he he) but really about details! Great!
Never knew he would do that! It was not communicated by Guy, right?
Two little things immediately I read there:
"Mark has his own guy who does all the effects"
And, about that above mentioned Telecaster, that little amp and Coyote:
"We turned it all the way up and i get this really sparse but crucial part. Just one more detail to handle. Many more to go, of course, but we've learned about eighteen songs."
So, only 18.... And not 32?
And, because I do not want to sound negative, these nice words about the meet-ups at the bar after the shows:
"Mark really cares about it getting it right so we can dig deeper into the groove and do the best we possibly can."
And, funny enough, not only tea during the Encores break:
"We go off stage, knowing we'll play encores. There are beers and wine glasses and margaritas, and a non-alcoholic drink for Matt Rollings."
So, that will be enough to spoil it for you. I think this diary is really huge! What could we all have been told during the last tours if this obviously
intelligent, nice and friendly person would have been in the band! I am beginning to hope that maybe this guy will stay in the band for Europe!
He seems to play a lot of guitar parts during a lot of songs and not only John's stuff!

Love expresso I think Tim means that "the effect guy" is Mr Saggers, because he has presets in the rack and there comes delays etc. to Mark sound.
I was also thinking that could it be possible that Tim continues also to European leg. I mean when band gets used to overdriven extra sounds, after that song might sound a bit empty. But mayde John....
-
Yes of course. It is just all a little bit clearer and unconcerned here, not so much damped because of Mark's instructions it seems.. ;D
I must put in here: I haven't seen a show yet, even haven't heard one, but after all I read about the shows this set list seems to work great! A rock number like CMG so early in the show, followed by HFB is really a great perspective! Maybe Tim O'Brien could stay in the band, together with John!
Or maybe John doesen't come back at all, which on one hand would be a pity because he is such a great guy and I like his Cittern very much! But some
fresh musos in a band are always great to have, in every band!

yes, I think that's Border Reiver.
They dropped 1 song of Get Lucky, and they played Get Lucky...
I think instead of Remembrance Day...
And they played Why Aye man for sure...
-
I don't think it is WAM. Richard plays acoustic on that pic. Maybe it is Border Reiver indeed! I really want to hear those new songs very badly! :P

So you have these special informations, Dutchessy? :P If so, why not the complete set list? No offence meant, but it seems a little secretive to give us the
info bit by bit? You know, we all are a bunch of impatient bastards around here... :lol

It's all on Isaac Shabtay's blog... But no setlist there...

Oh, stupid me... Thanks! I will have look...

Does anybody know if they do the full version of What It Is or if the first solo is still missing?

I like very much this sentence in Isaac's blog:
As I wrote above, somebody must have put something in his drink as he appeared to be rather enterprising today, giving us quite a few

I guess the camera on the strato means they are videorecording
Yes, they are, with a big screen behind the stage...
-
I would not overrate the videoing that much. Every middle class band has a big video screen on stage these days. It is more that MK has reached the usual "status-quo", after the nice round guitar picture-panel in 2008. To be honest, his light show is less than average compared to other bands in my
opinion. But that is ok because MK attendants are going to listen and not to be blown away by ultra modern technology!
But it will be nice to have a look maybe directly on his fingers during the Sultans "twiddely bits"...

Do anyone know the full set-list from Portland? :)

Probably they are playing different songs each time to have more choices for the Live DVD
Guy:
Thanks. There has been no mention of any DVD, so far.

-
I find it difficult to believe that they are varying the setlist at this point with a DVD in mind - the first shows of a tour normally have some production flaws and the arrangements are not yet fully worked out. But I keep my fingers crossed for a DVD eventually.
-
I Hope we get a dvd, would be great. We'll see the Tour is still on his way!

Summer long ago...
Maybe curfew? That they had to decrease the list... Tonight another change ;)

Someone on mk.com said about Portland:
One other thing I forgot - this website says still cameras are okay, but before the show it was announced that NO cameras or cell phones were to be in use during the concert at the request of the band (not the venue).
-
I love the fact that they really seem to be changing the setlist more this time round.
I just hope the European gigs will rock as much.
I know people have already mentioned this, but any idea as to how TR & SOS sound this time round.
Also, are there any recordings available on Dime or the tracker yet?
Cheers BBB

Guy has the Portland entry online and has a good and long explanation why they cancelled "Coyote"! I am not sure I got everything but it seems it
was just a technical problem with the samples. Let's hope he can fix it until tomorrow!
So there is some hope that Coyote will survive!
Astonishing that he is very communicative about the set-list, no secrets at all from Guy's side me thinks.

They played Coyote, but it went wrong... something wrong with Guy's keyboard samples.
-
Yes, of course, you are right. Seems I mixed it up with the missing CMG. Is the above set list "official"? I was just flying over it and didn't see Coyote obviously. Sorry. It seems Guy has some problems with his sample library, wasn't there a similar case during the last rehearsal days?

I found the setlist at setlist.fm... I'm not sure it's 100% right.
-
Hmm, but it seems they're playing Piper to the end each night. That would be great! :) Some variations in the set is not a problem imo, it makes very gig a special one. I'd like to hear coyote and CMG. :)

A lot of great photos from Portland:

The pics are good. Could Guy be toning down the shirts as he approaches 50?

Really some nice pic's. One of the first ones says "Border Reiver" with Mark on the Les Paul? And I think the screen looks rather small... ;)

He doesn't play on every song. Sultans and Romeo, for instance.
-
Tim O'Brian: "We all come center stage and take bows and of course the crowd wants more. We confer and check the time, and then play ..."
So that's when they decide how many songs to play for the encore, and why they cut out some of the final songs sometimes.

Just thought, people at the back might not see what's on the screen very well once the dry ice starts going. :-\

;) Or because of the curfew. I've seen during the Oslo gigs, that MK gives some signs to different crew members after the "conference". And because they usually base in Oslo, they don't have to cach a plane, so Oslo always get's the longest set with a full encore. I think they during previous US-tours somtetimes have dropped both Going Home and Our Shanri-la, due to time trouble.
-
It's stupid really, can't they just start the show 15 minutes earlier?
-

Yes, but according to GF, it's a union thing. They have to use local crew, and the local crew are according to union rules entitled to an obligatory break between the rigging/soundcheck and the show. And then the airport maybe closes at 11 pm... And MK is playing a new show in a new place almost every day. The only solution to this is never to play two shows after oneanother in different places in USA, or to have two stages and crews that alernate.
-
Airports don't close; what about night-flights? They have a private jet anyway. ???
I'e often wondered whether they gather round and say to each other "can you be bothered to play another two songs or are you knackered too!" ;D
-
Yes, many airports are closed at nights, espesially those which are located near city centers and pure GA airports. My nearest airport, for instance, is open between 6.30 am and 11.30 pm. No night flights there, even though it's an international airport.

I'm hoping they bring CMG back, too ??? But I'm also hoping they keep Get Lucky. The way the setlist keeps changing, anything can happen :)

Yes, cleaning my gun has to come back >:(

I wonder if John McC is going to play guitar this tour. If so, it increases the changes of hearing Cleaning My Gun in Europe.

I'd rather hear Prairie Wedding again. Much better than GL IMO.

I guess next tour I'll have to plan what MK shows to go to based up on local airport availability and union curfew restrictions. :lol

I agree... Get Lucky is a bit "radio friendly" in my ears. If you know what I mean... Praire Wedding is one of my favorites from STP. It has real feel to it. A very nice story, told in a great way! I think it is one of the most descriptive songs Mark has ever written... :)
