Thanks for posting again a photo of the venue. First I thought, the shows in Canada and US won`t be interesting for me, because it`s soooo far away and I don`t have the chance to see MK there, but now, after such a lot of interesting post, photos and GF-diaries I`m really in on it :D

Venue looks like a ship; is that portholes? :hmm
-
Hockey!

This is my hometown. The Saddledome, build for the '88 Olympics, is chiefly used for pro and junior hockey. Looking forward to the show this evening. My eight time seeing MK but first seeing BD. I'll try to post a setlist and little review at some point. Cheers
-
and why not some videos ;) !
But please try not Sof far away ! we want to see something else !
lucky you ...enjoy

SFA on vid is not necessary a bad sign. I'd love to be alive until SFA for my next gig ::) :think

Have a great night! :wave If you are able/willing to send a live set list to a land based email address I can update as we go. ;) If so just PM me and I'll give you my contact details.

Enjoy the show.
I've only paid a brief visit to Calgary (a day or two, en route from the Rockies to Drumheller, of all places) and it was a long time ago but I have fond memories, especially of the view from the viewing platform in the CN Tower.
As I've said here before, BD is not an easy listen, especially for the first time, but, even with his limited vocal range and throatiness nowadays, he does offer "a helluva show", as one MK fan I know said of the recent Edmonton show, adding, "for a 70 year old" - a backhanded compliment, I guess, but a compliment nevertheless.

Great show! Best I've heard MK sound in years!
What It Is
Cleaning My Gun
Privateering
Yon Two Crows
Redbud Tree
I Used To Could
Song For Sonny Liston
Daddy's Gone To Knoxville
Hill Farmer's Blues
Marbletown
So Far Away
I think I've got everything, order might not be correct. LOVE Ian Thomas, what a difference he makes. I last saw MK at the beginning of the Get Lucky tour and he seemed tired and old. I thought he was fantastic tonight. Voice sounds great! And you can hear his vocals again.
Bob was Bob. Unfortunately he ruined a lot of his tunes with his horrible piano playing. Too bad because his band is fab. I took a little video but was getting the stink eye from MK. Plus, security was right on you tonight.

Thanks Daveyray70 for the report and setlist.
Good to read you had a wonderful evening. ;D
Too bad they still don't understand simple things about videos. :disbelief We'll see that next year. ;)
Hope it was not too embarrassing for you.
By the way, if bob can't do it on piano, give him a guitar :lol

I think now its time to see any MK recording available, isnt it?
When I was in Glasgow at the MK /BD concert, I taped the MK show and I didnt have the idea of record anything else, but then I thought... Why not? Its just push a button...
Its just push a button, and then edit the concert and upload it but... I did it although the Krusty show was a bad dream and the Krusty fans were very bothering during the pre-shows, the MK shows, and specially during the Krusty show...

And that goes to show what kind of person you are. :clap

Thanks DMG ;D
My point is, if I can bother to tape, edit and share the Krusty concert when I didnt care a damm about it and I had very tiring and noising memories about it (and the band was very very good, but too high volume and Krusty groaring), why can

wow,very nice review!!
-
Krusty may have gotten top billing..but MK got the better review ;D

I assume you'll be going to one or more of their shows this year. I doubt you would have had that opportunity, if Bob hadn't asked Mark to support him. Mark mostly tours to promote a new album but has no new album in the States; Bob, in contrast, just tours and tours anyway, irrespective of whether he has a new album or not. That is not a criticism of either. They just have different ways of doing things. The same is true of their concert performnaces. Mark changed his most common touring pattern, this year and last, because he was asked and because the two of them share a mutual respect. It is a shame that fans of each don't do the same.

Even the facebook commenters were more fond of MK than BD...

It is more some sort of banter or teasing, meant in a friendly way, the same as Krusty is meant as a pet name... at least from my point of view.

The name calling doesn't bother me. I've read and heard far worse. At least Dylan's not Sideshow Bob. Maybe we should call the tour The Itchy and Scratchy Show. Which is which, I wonder?
The newspaper reviews of concerts don't bother me, either. I've attended shows where the reviews have been good but I've not enjoyed the performance personally; conversely, I've been to shows where the reviews have been ghastly and come away elated myself. Dylan is perverse - you get good shows and you get less good shows. Even within one show, you get great performances and perfunctory performances. At least, he's not a machine ["The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from being seen / But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine"].
I note that some of reviews mention that both "mumble" their lyrics, Dylan less clearly than Mark. When you read this sort of remark, you know that the reviewer is an "average joe" and likely not judging the show by the standards that you and I would apply. They're not right or wrong; they just have a different perspective. Reviewers comment that Dylan barely speaks and that Mark does; fine, they just go about their work in different ways. Reviewers also mention that Mark "showcases" his band members and Dylan doesn't; as it happens, I sometimes wish Dylan would do this but it really doesn't bother me.
Additionally, I've read uniformly positive, and even excessively laudatory, reviews of a Dylan album that is clearly nowehere near as good as the reviewer says. Sometimes, I think reviewers, having tossed off a less good review of the previous album which they have come to like and admire in time, fear they may get it wrong this time round and/or may wish to make amends for the previous review. I just read the reviews, put them into the file (mental or actual) and get on with things.
I grudge no one their views, even when I don't agree with them. It would be awful (dangerous possibly) if we all liked the same thing. What is indisputable, in my view, is that, had Dylan not have written the songs he has written, then Mark would never have written the songs he's written. He may have written other songs (who knows?) and they may have been good songs or less good songs (again, who knows?) but they wouldn't have been the songs we know and love today. [And the same applies to many other songwriters, too]
And, like Dylan, Mark goes on and on writing songs, as he gets older and .... what shall I say ... matures. And I for one hope that they both go on writing new songs for years to come. It gives me a lot of pleasure and fun.
