Well, quickly, it's the same questions and answers as usual. What differs is that he says he recorded Broken Bones almost alone at home, with Guy playing bass on the song (!). He also speaks about a duets album, which is not something he thinks about, but not something he'll never do. He'll make one if the opportunity comes. He speaks about playing Sultans feeling good, which is good (cos it means the song is not buried in the ground). And about setlist of the upcoming tour, it's clearly not a Track Promo Tour to him, so he won't play 90% of the album, but he may drop some of the usual songs for the new ones. And he'd love to make 3hours long gigs, but he won't, because he thinks of people who have to come home. So sweet. (Come on Mark, we all know that's because you have a plane right after the show, and that the last songs will be Marbletown/SaN/TR/SFA !)

....that will be a good 30/40 minutes we have heard for the last 3-4 tours..... :disbelief   No MK.....3 hours sets are good.....suspect your playing in the safe zone with that answer....

You can remove SaN from the list to make an extended 2015 Marbletown version.
