Just got back from RAH to the hotel. The setlist I think was exact the same lime the last night.
This was my one and only show for this tour and the second in my life. I am excited to have seen MK and band playing and loved sooooo much the show. For sure I cannot judge performances and for me is like a dream what I lived the last hours.
I am thrilled to have met some AMITers and Isaac (at the encores in the front row) they are all very sweet and nice.
I am still dreaming for the next tour....
PS. Vgonis I am bringing back to Greece an MK bag full of goodies! CU soon!

I know how you felt. Being in that moment of true bliss even for just 2 hours. It's so worth it. I don't know how you can manage to see MK for just one show. ??? ??? ??? ??? It's never enough with MK. Anyway, lucky you vgonis to have a friend that will bring you a goodie bag form the tour. :clap I'm envious !!!!

just back great show.
Can remember the exact setlist but we got idad and seattle for the Ruth spot and Sonny for the sos spot.
Firstly kudos to mkfan club .Although people here poo pooed row 12 in the arena it was fine and we were dead centre so that was good.
Seemed to a few errors here and there and marbletown was not as I remembered .
Now the main point really there seemed to be a buzz of expectation as R and J came to an end which dampend by playing sonny.
Personally i don't particulary care for it anyway but seeing as it was played last night it was not unreasonable to expect it not to be played tonight but for me it was an atmosphere killer.
Anyway it was an enjoyable show nevertheless .

As last night. I agree about Sonny Liston killing the atmosphere for a while. It's turgid and goes on forever. I suspect it's more fun for him to play than for us to listen to.
Also seemed to be some aggravation down the front tonight. Some over zealous younger people (I think from mainland 'Europe') roughly pushing some older people out of the way. One of whom was furious and refused to accept an apology once the lights went up.

yes, exactly the dilemma for every musician in the world...

How would you recognize? And why is it relevant where any "pusher" would come from? :hmm

I don't deny that there are some nice parts of the solo and a great deal of improvision.
Nonetheless, I find this song plain boring and does not appeal the least to me.
And replacing Sultats with SFSL is like replacing **** with **** (I go in self-censorship mode from now on, and will make my posts look like edited set-list questions/remarks on Guy's forum :p )

Ian has changed a lot in this 2013 version. If you listen to one of them, you will hear that he builds up his drumming. And I love this song that's for sure. LIstening to these really great lyrics is awesome. The solo is breathtaking every time, Bucharest for example, i would say it was the best played track on that night - I know Yon Two Crows was in the set, too, but you could clearly hear that Yon Two Crows needed some more goings to sound really as is should.

There are a couple of people who rush to the front very violently and leave other people no space because of keeping pushing them. I noticed it myself and even had to "rescue" one of our fellowfans from such an idiot. They are most of the times spanish, italian or french. And I think it's good to say where they are from (it's a fact) so maybe fellow members from those countries who we highly respect and like may tell them to behave themselves. Running is ok, being violent is not. If you are on second row standing it's still fine. Our fellowmember I rescued has bruised ribs from it and you all know that hurts.
-
I was just reading on FB what Isaac wrote about it and that of course puts things into perspective, Ingrid. I had no idea that you all had already trouble on tuesday (because I left before the encores..) So that is really some bullshit going on there. Sorry to hear that your concerts have been spoiled by these iditos.

Exactly, and that's why I thought mentioning where they were from was relevant. British people are used to queuing politely and even standing back and saying "after you", not charging forward like they're at the Paloma bull run.
It was clear from the rather frightened man in his 60s that his night had been ruined by the continental surge to the front.

It reminds me of my first ever concert - Lyon '92, DS on the OES tour.
At this time there was no such things as numbered seats. They were allocated on the spot on a first come first served basis. This, all the more that it was DS heyday, generated huge queues for a very long time.
My brother and I came 8 hours in advance. 8 hours standing queuing... can't believe I have done that when I was 18, I would not
We got the first row. Well, for 20 minutes. During the "was not was" part, some idiots started to push. They made me suffocate, I nearly fainted, a nice and strong guy managed to push back the idiots for a while. He was screaming: "He needs to breave !". I spent the concert at the back of the venue, as if I had come last minute. My brother managed to survive the front row... and told me later that he even had eye contact with MK !
So I can't say for the Spanish and the Italian, but for the French, sadly, yes, they can misbehave. Although I have never had such cases again in MK concerts. Worse I had was people screaming and talinkg so loud that I was really disturbe and irratated. Nothing violent in Paris Bercy or N

I slightly prefer the Sofia version; some great licks during the lyrics part of the song too.

I'm not surprised, France is really sick. :disbelief
Sometimes when I travel, I'm advised not to say I'm French, but say I'm Swiss. :think
There's no more respect, no education, no difference between good and evil. Indeed there is a difference : what was good 30 years ago is now evil, and what was evil ...
Already out of control and we're gonna have a huge problem very soon. All those kids raised with no good manners are now parents...

As I said previously, I'm not a big fan of the current incarnation of Sultans, but apparently it brought the house down when played during the first RAH show - so then Mark drops it from the set? Almost like a slap in the face.

Gone are the days of 'he who pays the piper calls the tune'.
It's a shame when entertainers don't respect their audience - very sad - it's ok for MKs newer followers to cast aside these accusations but for the older generation who put him where he is today it is like being snubbed. To play one song and one song only that is synonymous with MK is not a great deal to expect. He can play it blindfolded sitting down - it wouldn't matter. He could do an acoustic version or a shortened version - just give us the song and and a few 'twiddly bits':-)
Yes the rest of the set/concerts has been played very well and the songs very enjoyable by all accounts. There is no argument there. But the omission of SOS is almost like a death knell to those who have followed his career for the last 35 years.
And it is also sad that one cannot express one's opinion without being jumped on in a defensive manner regardless of what the negative comments relate to. The man is not (a) God and we should be allowed to criticise him just like we would any other person in the public spotlight. It would also be nice for peoples opinions and feelings to be respected as without critics we would live in a very sad dour world with whatever goes, goes. Things only develop and change and move forward due to the desires and demands and wishes of the general public.

I liked what you said. I also agreed wholeheartedly about SOS. It should never be substituted by any other songs. :disbelief

I understand previous comments. This has been discussed a lot. However, I think that we should remember that this is not Dire Straits anymore. And if Mark is bored to some songs it is better that he don't play them in jukebox mode. Also artist tries to evolve and I think that Mark's song writing has been getting better and better but arrangements and guitar parts has become more minimalistic. Artists often think that their last album is the best one and I think that it is the thing that keeps them going. I have never had change to hear Tunnel of love live but I am very happy that Mark is happy and I feel priviledge to see him performing frequently.

I was at the concert on the 31st, and being a self confessed critic of MK's solo work to the nth degree I must say I really enjoyed the concert. However, I do have a lot of sympathy with the more casual concert goer who has spent

That might be so and i agree if he was getting bored then it would be a time to stop perhaps but MK is still playing SoS so he can't use boredom as a reason - there must be something going on in his head but at present it is unfathomable.

I'm so happy that this is first time travel in London,To see mark knopfler, of course! And also Hope mark will come to China!

There are songs that mark has pleasure to play from time to time but not everynight as WAM on the 2010 tour or BIA this year.
