Now Nigel comes for I used to could, so no IDUAD tonight

guess 5.15 am isn't going to come out at RAH shame for me.
If anyone of influence is reading Thursday would be the day for it ;D

Nigel and Ian has played together before on the album Out of the Box from the Mark Nightingale quintet ;D

Replacing Sultans with Gator Blood is like replacing Mozart with Justin Bieber...:(
-
Indeed, Gator is a decent song but it is no replacement for Sultans. The shows now lack the traditional show-stopper in the middle of the set.
-
Yesterday, standing ovation after Sultans.
Guess it was too much for Mark: "Standing ovation for the first song I did 35 years ago ? and none for my recent work ? Ok. Tomorrow, you'll pay for it. Well not you, but those who will be in your place" :D
Gator is a below average song for me. (By Mark's standard that is, which means that it is not a bad song). It reminds me of "Right now" used as an opener during the ATTR tour. No masterpiece...

-
Wow... Brothers to make up for Sultans. Good thing.
Well, there was a time were both of them were "sticky"... and I think it should be this way...
And where have the Crows gone ? :(
-
Well, I have never understood why seven minutes of Shangri-La would constitute a fitting encore. Many people won't know it. Brothers is a much better choice even if it's been done to death.
-
And no Nigel on Going Home?

And no Nigel on Going Home?
With Nigel ofcourse

Replacing Sultans with Gator Blood is like replacing Mozart with Justin Bieber...:(
I am surprised he still hasn't swapped Telegraph with The fish and the bird or Madame Geneva
but I am expecting it soon :)
Please, this is utter blasphemy ! you almost gave me a heart stroke !
-
I am still astonished that Mark did not perform Fish And The Bird this year. But lets hope :wave
-
Fantastic concert yet again!! 'Kingdom of Gold' with Ruth was mindblowing along with an excellent 'Seattle' too..
Pleased there was no Sultans as there is no need to have it every night! Besides 'Gator blood' more than justifies itself in its place!! Enjoyed Brothers as it made a change but again having been to four dates on this tour now I couldnt care less what the setlist is going to be because I am personally grateful to have the privilage of hearing the 'master' play!! What a band!!! Any doubters please go to a 'RAH' show before you comment!!
Its been a pleasure to meet Love expresso, DMG, Pottel, Superval, Kit Kat, Fieneke, Dusty Valentino, Ingrid, Knopflerized; BBB and all that I cannot remember! Until the next time in town....! Til the next time.....

Replacing Sultans with Gator Blood is like replacing Mozart with Justin Bieber...:(
I'm still astonished by your comments, Herlock ;D
"Marbletown is the new TOL", "sultans /gator blood is similar to Mozart / Bieber".... uuh ? :o :smack
I can understand your disapointment or your enthousiasm, but I think it goes a little bit to excessiveness ;D ;D
the abyss between Mozart and bieber......well how to describe this ? :hmm I don't know, but certainly not between 2 MK's songs :lol :lol
BTW, I like Gator blood, and especially the live version, and even if it's not one of his best tunes, it's clearly not one of his worst...
And I like Right now too... ;)

Well I can say excessive things when I'm passionate...:) but you can read that I can also temper my views, I also wrote that being a MK song GB is not a bad song ! Just that it is no replacement for Sultans, which I think everybody agrees.
As for MT and TOL, I never intended to say that they are similar, just that they received a similar extension treatment live...
-
Forgive me Herlock, but I presume you haven't attended the 'RAH' shows thus far?? Only your comment with regards replacing SOS with GB desturb me... In that IT IS a suitable replacement 'live'!! To have heard both tunes played there over the last two nights has been awesome but it has got to be said again and a lot agree 'I couldn't care less what MK plays' because right now he is playing so well that it just doesent matter!! GB stormed the RAH last night!!! Onwards and upwards!!
(MK is that good that there were actually standing ovations for the majority of the concert from us 'front-row' AMITers and others last night!!)
-
Dare to ask .... does anyone happen cameras for a live recording on film? It will not be .... yet still hope. ???
I videoed 'IUTC' & 'GB' from front row seat - going to you tube later today...

I have written at length, many times, on this forum, that I would'nt care what the setlist would be to enjoy a MK concert; that he does not *owe* us anything, that he is entitled to play whatever he wants to play; go and read the comments on the first show (Bucharest) and you will see that I was the first one to say that jumping at Guy's jugular to complain about the setlist, from people who did not attend even the show, was not right !
So I think that I do not deserve a trial for radicalim here :)
And because I am not excessive, I think I *do* have the right, this being said, to make comments about the setlist in a fan forum. Not that these comments will affect in any way my enthousiam to go to the shows (I have added dates this year !). Not that I would complain in any way to Guy's forum, I've always considered this as a lack of respect.
Unless this has become North Korea, I think saying that Sultans is iconic whereas Gator Blood is average and I would prefer the former over the latter does not warrant a death sentence :) After all, they are just.... songs ! :D
-
No soucy Herlock, and I must say I often agree with what you say on this forum :)
I totally agree that Sultans is iconic, and Gator blood isn't.
It's just that the Mozart/Bieber comment made me laugh ! ;D And I found it a little bit excessive regarding the comparaison. :)
nothing wrong :)
I hope you will enjoy your gigs :) (this tour I can't :'()

I have to admit that my Mozart/Bieber comment was a bit too much.
It's just that as much I wanted the setlist to vary, I think the core DS subset (Sos/RaJ/TR/Bia/optionnally SFA) should stay the way it is. At least if no other iconic songs are not introduced.... If this set was replaced with DTTW/WDYTYRG/TOL/The Man's too strong, I'm sure nobody would complain :D
Actually I'm rather happy, because TR is kept, and to me this is even more iconic than Sultans. I'm proud it's still played, and well played, despite the "karaoke mode" (partially alleviated by Jim this tour, the piano plays a bit the role that sax played in the OES tour). And we've got definitive versions of Sultans on video (e.g Alchemy, Live Aid) whereas for TR the only one we've got (Alchemy) is fantastic but a bit too rough for my taste...

Bieber is richer than Mozart was. End of discussion. 8)

And Bieber is a too easy target, often misused, he is a teenager pop star and should be treated as it and respected for that.

I also like Gator Blood but don't like it as a replacement for Sultans.
The ideal solution for me would be to play both :) , and rather drop some other songs instead (e.g. I used to could, Paraguay, Speedway, Marbletown,...)

the setlist was perfect as it was played.
other songs would've made the setlist exactly as perfect, because that is how it is played, perfect, and i do not mean the old MK perfect, not a false not to be heard, but simply perfect as in"it has been ages since i have seen the man in suuuuuuuuuch a good mood, playing things so differently"
i recorded (audio) last night, and except for bits of BIA, it all sounds wonderfull.
will send all my first 5 recordings to someone so they can be "prepared" and they will then be released on a torrent site.

Hi everyone! Just arrived home after a really wonderful couple of shows at the RAH! Both nights were brilliant and it would be difficult to choose which was best. Of course, Sultans was played on the first night and it sounded great, as did TR (both nights). As you know, Gator Blood was played on the second night instead of Sultans, but that didn't bother me one bit, because to me it is a great little song and I enjoyed it immensely and it's nice to have some variety. I think it's good that SOS isn't played every night, because it doesn't get taken for granted that way!
The audience was very enthusiastic, especially on the first night and there were many standing ovations, especially from amiters, who were mainly in the front rows. After TR, on both nights, there was a terrific stage rush and people seemed to emerge from everywhere. It was necessary to be extremely quick, which I was, and I had a place at the stageside both nights!
Marbletown was played especially well and was very well received, in fact I really think it became even more elaborate the second night. I absolutely loved it and hope it will remain on the setlist for a long time. John, Glen and Mike were terrific.
I loved Ruth Moody's 40 minute or so set and her band is really good and it was nice to hear her again, with MK, on Seattle, KOG and IDUAD - they all sounded wonderful.
Seeing MK at the RAH was a very special experience and there is nowhere quite like it for that very unique atmosphere and if there is another tour, I would like to attend more than two concerts next time. Mark was in a wonderful mood and everything was played with such energy - it was lovely to see him so happy!
Apart from the two shows, it was really great to meet up with friends from this forum, some who I have already met before and also some who I met for the first time. You are all such great people and I am proud to be a member here!
BTW The Stanhope Arms was a great meeting point (good food too)! :P
-
It was nice to meet you, Mrs. Val, as it was with every single AMITer, some I already knew, some I met for the first time - but not the last time for sure!
A really nice bunch of people indeed!
I really have nothing more to add to your perfect review, apart from how I really loved it last night when the audience sang along Romeo & Juliet. The same on Monday night with "...way on downsouth LONDON TOWN"... came as a real blast.. and with Romeo, now that really was a "goosebump" moment, even if that word gets overused in some way. But I had a look around and suddenly felt, yeah, this is really one of the biggest songs of the last decades. And there is the man playing it for us NOW...
In fact, I decided this morning while waiting on the plane that my number of RAH shows will be extended for me next time, just as you said.
I have the feel we will have another new album soon, he is so brilliant right now, and I feel that Nigel Hitchcock might appear on is again as well!
:wave

-
Yes, LE, I felt that R&J, especially on the second night, was something extra-special and I detected more than a bit of emotion in Mark's singing. I really felt that he was singing it from the heart! It was goose-bump time for me too!
btw It was lovely to meet you too, at last! :wave

Thanks for the photos. It was great to meet you and your good lady and indeed everyone who was there. Everyone was so lovely. :clap I only wish I could have stayed all week and met everyone, including friends I've met before. Enjoy your shows - I'm sure you will. :thumbsup
I tell you, Val can move quick for the stage rush - she was behind me 2nd night yet got to the stage before me!
Forgot to add that on my way down the stairs to the Arena section I was passed (running upwards) by none other than Guy Fletcher! I just looked and he smiled and he was already past me before it registered with me who it actually was!

Hi everyone~
Mr. KitKat and I were also in attendance for the first two nights- no more words to describe how great the concerts were- they really were a treat. Also it was great to meet some AMIT-ers and place faces to names. I finally uploaded a few pictures from the nights (only the fairly ok ones). They are not as nice as Martina's or knopflerfan's but I thought I would share anyway.

Very nice to meet those in attendance; we must do it again next tour!

Sultans,Norbert Schuster,Traisen, Austria
Hi Guy! My wife, my son and I stayed at the Royal Albert Hall on May, 28th. It was a fantastic show in a great location. It was always been a dream of mine to see Mark playing at the Royal Albert Hall. I love his music. But why he did not play Sultans of swing on this evening? My son wanted to see it absolutely. Finally, he was a little disappointed that this important song was not played.
Guy: Because he didn't feel like it. There are so many alternatives
The thing is the chosen alternative(s) does not sound to be on par with SOS.

GB and SFSL are hardly replacement for SoS.
If he wants to ditch a DS song, why not put SFA in the trash ? Or give RAJ a much needed rest ?
But keep SOS, TR and BIA - the very concentrated essence of DS !

Only one song can replace Sultans for me - TOL! ;D
To be honest though TOL is no real replacement for Sultans because it is a different type of song (of more epic proportions) and Sultans is more familiar with the casual concert goer. I think Skateaway has been suggested before? Again, a nice one for us but not so familiar with the casual goer. There simply isn't a replacement song.
The only thing that kept me going walking out of the Glasgow concert after not hearing Sultans was that I had two more chances to hear it. I was still a little disappointed though, despite an otherwise great show.

EDIT: here we go, first post, wrong topic. Can some moderator please move this to Zwollle? Thanks!
It was a great concert (and my first MK gig ever)!
I loved every minute of it and especially Telegraph Road. I enjoyed this version of I Dug Up A Diamond a lot too, as I don't like Emmylou's voice on the album version.
It was a shame someone started clapping during the quiet bit of Marbletown, like the song had ended allready... :smack
It was very hot in there, there were empty seats and the music was very loud, but I enjoyed it a lot!
IDUAD was much better with RM Imho and yes the clapping thing on 'Marbletown' happened at each show we went to, just usually before MK finished the music off with those lovely few notes on the Martin....

I loved every minute of it and especially Telegraph Road. I enjoyed this version of I Dug Up A Diamond a lot too, as I don't like Emmylou's voice on the album version.
It was a shame someone started clapping during the quiet bit of Marbletown, like the song had ended allready... :smack
It was very hot in there, there were empty seats and the music was very loud, but I enjoyed it a lot!
IDUAD was much better with RM Imho and yes the clapping thing on 'Marbletown' happened at each show we went to, just usually before MK finished the music off with those lovely few notes on the Martin....
I'm not quite a fan of Ruth's voice, so for me IDUAD is much better just Mark himself. :)

I've only heard MK's solo version live as I posted this in the wrong thread (I meant Zwolle's gig :) ), I should look up the version with Ruth Moody...

Hi everyone~
Mr. KitKat and I were also in attendance for the first two nights- no more words to describe how great the concerts were- they really were a treat. Also it was great to meet some AMIT-ers and place faces to names. I finally uploaded a few pictures from the nights (only the fairly ok ones). They are not as nice as Martina's or knopflerfan's but I thought I would share anyway.

Very nice to meet those in attendance; we must do it again next tour!
Firstly great to have met you both too and look forward to the next time ;) and secondly great photo's of a wonderful few evenings!!
THANK YOU very much for sharing your pictures Knopflerfan and KitKat! I loved watching!
Btw it was really wonderful to meet you both and your partners as well! Yeahhh we should meet again in future! It was short this time, but I hope we will have the change to be together for a longer time!
Hugo97 I just upload a video of the concert in Amsterdam where you can listen to Mark and Ruth siging all the 3 songs!
You can find it at the Ziggo-Dome Amsterdam thread!

Hello all, I was so fortunate to attend 31st May at the RAH and got to meet several people I've always wanted to meet (Isaac, Phil, Martina, to name a few) plus had the BEST concert experience of my life (about 10 feet away from MK)! This is something I will live with forever! And the music was wonderful! It's two weeks later and I'm still over the moon! Wish I could have met more people there but there's always next tour. Thanks everyone involved for making my experience so great! :-* :wave
