I was thinking it would be fun to do something similar to the Dylan Pool. Since Mark doesn't change the setlists so much. It could rahter be that we guess before the toru starts. The setlist for the first concert and maybe for instance the setlist of the last european date.
1 point for correct guess. 2 points for correct song and placement in the setlist.
Any good suggestions for making this in a fun and simple way?
-
GOOD THREAD!! I have been thinking about this the last week ;D
I'll say we guess the first setlist for Barcelona. I will post when I have My songs ready.
-
So after some quick thoughts I came up with one setlist that should get a few songs in the right order.
My guess for the setlist:
1. Trapper man
2. Corned beef city
3. Privateering
4. Back on the dance floor.
5. Father and son / HFB
6. Slow Learner
7. One Song At A Time
8. Romeo and Juliet
9. Sultans of swing
10. Band Intro
11. Postcards From Paraguay
12. Speedway At Nazareth
13. Marbletown
14. So far away
15. Matchstick Man
16. Piper To The End
Play these and I'll be very happy :D
-
- Trapper Man
- Back on the Dancefloor
- Coyote
- Behind With The Rent
- Seattle
- She's gone / Your Latest Trick
- Romeo & Juliet
- Sultans
- Quality Shoe
- The Last Laugh
- Nobody Does That
- One Song At A time
- On Every Street
- Speedway
- Heavy Up
- Metroland
- So Far Away
- Going Home
Definitely not my wishlist but I think he's gonna rely heavily on the brass section this tour.
-
Probably more new ones in the earlier shows before settling down to something along these lines, although I'm hoping for something a little more adventurous. It'll be interesting to see how the brass is incorporated or if it has an influence on the setlist.
Back On the Dance Floor
Corned Beef City
Privateering
Father and Son
Hill Farmer's Blues
Good On You Son

1. Trapper Man (I have a feeling this will be the opener)

3. Privateering (and the usual "Everybody OK? You and me Rich, the rest of you...good luck!")
4. Sailing To Phialdelphia
5. Hill Farmer's Blues (a classic)
6. Back On The Dance Floor (Guy pretty much confirmed it, I believe)
7. She's Gone/Your Latest Trick (Mark confirmed it)

10. Drover's Road
11. One Song at a Time
12. On Every Street (I think he'll keep it)

To be honest that's as near as I was going to put..the only difference is that I'm convinced BOTDF will be the opener and for some reason I can't see trapped man being played Live - I'd love to be wrong of course...wondering if OSAAT might be towards the end maybe even an encore??
-
yes the more I listen too back on the dance floor the more it could be the opener, were have too wait and see ,
-

A shame if so.. The only song on the album I struggle to really like... Could skip that one from the setlist, I would love Trapper Man as opener, BOTDF as opener would disappoint a lot..
Fine, throw it in somewhere in the middle of the setlist, but not as starter... Yea, it's the song I dislike the most on DTRW...
-
Trapper Man would be a good opener, but BOTD would be even better, especially as it's one of my favourites from the album - love it! :)
-
one song at a time my favourite, would love band introductions around it , think it could work

Giving it more thought today, and yes I believe it could indeed work very well..... :clap

2.Corned Beef City
3. Privateering
4. Hill Farmer Blues with F+S
5. Silver Eagle
6. Nobody Does That

setlist needs a major revamp to be interesting, way too 'copy and paste' the last tours

God that would be a horrible set list.... way too much overplayed songs. The set needs a major refreshment
-

I think it could waste the best song personally. I don't mind it before Postcards because that's a sleeper anyway but not One Song pleeeease! I don't see it, especially as it's a new song and they'll have to concentrate to play it anyway.
It could easily be done during Marbletown when you think about it but will probably be kept for Postcards.

Isn't that what happens though? And with the work on the musical ongoing they aren't exactly pressing on with rehearsals for the tour either, so expect autopilot yet again.

Whatever work is needed to be done in the musical will be end before March 19th which is the first representation. I don't know how a.musical works but my guess is that they will attend the first week just to check if everything works fine and if not, what to change and check if the changes work. I guess anything would be written in stone at the end of march, early April.
The first concert is April 25th if I recall well. 25 days of rehearsals are far too much than they really need to play nowadays Mk music. A DS tour would need some months but, MK music with session musicians instead of band members, that's what nowadays MK musicians are, sessions musicians, that would not take that much no matter if all the set is new.
The last tour in which they shaked the set was the Ktgc tour. Just check the period of rehearsals in Guy's forum and you'll discover that it was the same than usual.

And do you think Mark is rehearsed enough during the early shows? Last tour he wasn't getting into his stride until late June IMO.
-
I think that for the last tour they didn't rehearse... They just tried the new songs, did a pass over the songs from the previous tour and spent one week as maximum doing that.
I hope that for next they spend at least two or three really working.

Manchester 2015 was only the second show of the tour and one of the best -the longest too! :)

Manchester 2015 was only the second show of the tour and one of the best -the longest too! :)
And all the set consisted in songs that they had played hundred of times during the 2013, 2010 and 2008 tours, and five songs from Tracker.
Probably they rehearsed that five songs during three days or four, refreshed the "same old set" during other three or four days and that was all.
It's an easy way of prepare a tour, play songs you already played so many times that you can put autopilot in mode on.

I bet are the same shirts from the last two tours, unless he grow fat and need to buy new ones, LOL

Whatever you say, it was a great show and the audience loved it, including me! This next tour, however, I hope for a huge shake-up, especially as it could be his last big tour! :)

I think they are most concentrated during the first couple of shows because they realise they are rusty and they want the show to go right - Guy said that on his forum (or tour diary, can't remember) a while back. I think the Manchester show was one of the best too, however it wasn't representative of the early shows.

Far too much 'Down the neck whenever' been going on perhaps?!
-
Don't forget this could be Mark's last ever tour, so I think he is going to go out with a bang. So, he might just shake up the set list, and play some amazing guitar, when you get as good as Mark, you don't lose the ability, but you can get rusty, I have a feeling we are in for a treat whatever he plays.

Yes last huge tour granted, but I believe it's certainly not going to be his last stint of playing live shows....

ok a question , do you think he could do" back on the dance floor" going into "hill farmers" , like father and son into hill farmers last two tours?

ok a question , do you think he could do" back on the dance floor" going into "hill farmers" , like father and son into hill farmers last two tours?
I seriously hope he doesn't play HFB and F&S, overplayed to death. I've become a setlist moaner i see now. I do hope he plays a lot of songs from the back catalogue. Fade to black or old pigweed. Those kind of songs. I would sell a kidney for that ;D ;D

I'd agree with that. HFB is past it's best anyway; not that many good versions from the last tour compared with previous tours. Planet of New Orleans would be worth the ticket price alone! :P
-
Thinking of how Back on tbe dancefloor ends it would make a nice bridge or gapless connection between two songs. Just like MK did with Je suis desole and Calling Elvis back in the days (was it that connection?)
Maybe we will get to hear Calling Elvis again? Would fit good in the setlist.
I feel as well we're up to getting lots of brass (brasses? brass's? ;)) this tour. So why not pulling out Portobello Belle or Ride across the River again? There are soooo many possibilities to bring back pearls from the DS days that fit so good the actual MK... But face it: it's a dream :D
-
When I try to think about a setlist, I find difficulties with TRACKER songs... I can't any of them fitting in the set. There were ok for their own tour, but none of them fits here... maybe the combo "Skydiver-Laugs and Jokes"?
I don't see it.
I'm going to give it a try starting from the last setlist of Tracker tour:
Nobody does that
Back on the dance floor
Privateering
Father and Son
Hill Farmer's Blues
Just a boy away from home
She's Gone - Your Latest Trick
Romeo and Juliet
Sultans of Swing
One song at a time
Heavy up
Marbletown
On Every Street
Speedway at Nazareth
So Far Away
Matschtick man
Going home
-
I have a new candidate for the final. One Song At A Time. Mark, please. It's a real hymn.
-
I'd love to see "Once upon a time " in the set list.....and "Piper to the end"....and "Punish the monkey"....and "where do you think you' re going"....and many more.... ::)
-

Two of them absolutely impossible, one quite unlikely and the other has chances.
-
Exactly. Once Upon A Time...Where...impossible. Piper...possible. Punish The Monkey - I do not believe :)

So, how many songs that used to be on the setlist in previous tour will appear again? What do the people in here think?
It should be harder for them to squeeze in the songs in the set list with every new album ;D
If this really turns out to be the last tour, why don't they make the set-list at least 20 songs and give the fans a really solid and nice farewell tour?
I would like to hear OES live and I think with the saxophone etc standard (?) line-up in this tour, it might happen even in Europe and not only in the US part?

There'll be a trumpet in there as well as a sax so expect lots of brass sounds.
I would think given he dropped TR during the latter stages of the Tracker tour that the set will become smaller on the forthcoming tour. He was obviously finding it hard going on such a long tour and I would expect him not to play TR again sadly. I hope I'm wrong as it is the only song (along the TOL, but that is a no-no) that can truly end a concert with a climax. Good though Speedway is, it just doesn't have the epic length to justify that place in the set. Even Marblebore would be a better closer! ::)

I'm hoping for a longer setlist this time, mainly because the band is bigger which would take some of the strain off MK - definitely songs with sax and trumpet will be included. Some songs could be played that don't have much, or any, solo guitar, such as "When You Leave". I'm sure he will still play TR, but not at every concert. :)
-
Exactly. Once Upon A Time...Where...impossible. Piper...possible. Punish The Monkey - I do not believe :)
Guy said there will be changes so anything is possible. :lol :lol
Piper may alternate with GH but that's about it I think.
I mean no offense to Guy Fletcher but he once said the show was so very different from a previous tour when 10 out of 16 songs were similar from last time the band played a show in Europe. Besides, it's not like he's open to criticism as he gets overly defensive and offended over complaints about the lack of changes in the set.
Although Mark Knopfler's setlist are different nowdayscompared to 20 years ago you don't really miss much if you skip a tour (or two). 2015 was the first time he really changed up the first half of the set in about 15 years. Still, Romeo & Juliet will still be in the middle, Speedway and Telegraph Road will be in the end and So Far Way with Brothers In Arms will most likely show up in the encore.
I hope he'll change it up as much as he did 4 years ago though. Just retire the Dire Straits stuff already. Telegraph Road lost its punch years ago - he's just noodling around til the song reaches the end. I've been wishing for On Every Street for years but once he's started playing it it just doesn't sound right either. If he can't do the songs justice then why bother? There's plenty of solo stuff to explore still. I used to buy tickets for Mark Knopfler the day they went on sale but with the stale and rather predictable shows I just no longer bother.

Agree regarding OES; the recent versions were terrible. TR may have lost it's punch but it still has that special quality and epic length to make it one of only two songs he can conclude the main set with.
There are many other DS tunes I'm sure he could try as well as solo stuff, ones mentioned on here frequently.

I hope they will give Silvertown Blues another try....

Yes, this is a realisting one.

I just don't see them suddenly shaking everything up completely, although I very much hope so. I see mark as man who only likes a surprise when he's told a surprise is coming. He has proven that in the past. But we'll see how things turn out. Can't wait to see him playing though.

True. I meant that these are songs that Mark could play without worrying.

Completely agree!
-
while this may possible be his last big global tour, I'm very quietly & secretly hoping for some old gems in the set (there's quite a lot that can very well blend with the laid-back vibe of his current being and tours) like Wild West End, Lions, Where Do you Think You're Going or possible even Hand in Hand ( was this ever performed live??).
ooooh man, imagine that all of sudden coming out of those PA speakers!
-
The wildest you dream...
-
I have a feeling - I may very well be wrong - that things could be quite different this time. Not that Mark will dig out old DS songs and suddenly be a guitar hero again, but I think the Local Hero work has caused the creative juices to flow a bit more than usual. Plus with the bigger band, there's the potential to do something else than the usual.

Very excited to see the first setlist in Barcelona, as I both want songs played previously to be in the list again and some other ones..
But yea, does not matter what we wish,want/do not want etc... Just keep fingers crossed the setlist is good and to everyones joy with a good mix!
-
Personally I've now got to the stage in life where I'm not fussed one jot what the master decides to play 'Live' just as long as he does!!!!

It feels soooo good if someone for a change realizes what it's really about and how incredibly precious theses evenings will be.
But I fear starting with April 25 we'll just see the usual negativity here (static, autopilot, such a huge back catalogue...)

I won't be negative. I get to see 3 shows and I am extremely humble and grateful that I get to see those with some great friends and wonderful people. All MK concerts where I've been too, I never ever will forget. Just that I rather hear Metroland than Marbletown:-) I think the most people think this way: I honestly think everyone here who goes to the gigs realises how special it is and all these memories are just great.
Just my two cents.
Hola

I won't be negative either. I'm just pleased to see MK and the band play in front of me, whatever they play, especially as this may be the last big tour. I'm not particularly keen on SFA, but played live it somehow feels like a party with lots of friends! :)

It's the feeling of being together and sharing the same passion and what more do you need! :)

Agreed superval99, I don't particularly like SFA or even R&J but its got to the point where yes, both when they are both played Live they are 'alive'!!! :wave

SFA is not bad live because the average fan likes the DS catalogue and it's one of the few tracks they have recognised during the show! So yes it does get everyone going and that is a good feeling. Poses the question then: would the whole concert not be much better if he played more of the older and better known DS songs that the average fan recornised... :think
On the other hand listening to the concert afterwards it is poor as you can't appreciate the atmosphere on a stick!
__________
On the other point regarding negativity, I will not commit myself and can only say that I will just give an honest assessment about how lethargic the concert was and how little guitar playing there was. ;D

Thing is Ruth Moody in those short skirt's at the RAH got me going and that was a good feeling!!!!! :lol :lol
-
SFA only works for me played live. Even hearing the same song on a USB doesn't work and I always skip it! It's all about the atmosphere. I do still listen to certain concerts over and over, though, and I remember how good they were! Manchester 2010 is my favourite! :)

He didn't play everything I wanted to hear, but I wanted to hear everything he played

I would listen whatever the sh*t he plays

1. Back On The Dancefloor
2. Trapper Man
3. Hill Farmer’s
4. Just A Boy Away From Home
5. Good On You Son
6. Your Latest Trick
7. Romeo And Juliet
8. Sultans Of Swing

10. One Song At A Time
11. Heavy Up
12. On Every Street
13. Telegraph Road
14. Brothers In Arms
15. So Far Away
16. Going Home
It is what I believe to be plausible, but in my personal wishlist I would dream about seeing Tunnel Of Love or Portobello Belle this time around... best wishes ;-)

I think Matchstick Man would be an amazing encore.

Yeah, and it would be something that really has never happened before in MK live concerts (I believe) if Mark would play Matchstick Man all on his own, as a solo acoustic number...

Hill Farmers

There is only one mistake in this setlist prediction, one very very obvious.
I'd say that TR will be dropped too.
-
Down to the Waterline is just an expression that he will play an early Dire Straits track from the first two albums somewhere in the set.
It is the the last tour and think he will throw one in for fun.
At least, I hope he does.
;D

I think he will play OES/Speedway like the last leg of the Tracker tour. But i also think he will change it for TR from time to time. Why not?

Best opportunity ever to get Metroland into the lists.
But then again, that is what the fans want...

Wouldn't really get me overexcited to be honest. I would very much suspect it to be one of those songs that would sound much better on the album version anyway.
-
Nobody does that, I used to could, On every street... At least 2 of these should appear regularly if Graeme and Tom are to get some space to play their instruments.. as well as Going Home is most likely to be part of the set as usual..

And don't forget two songs that would benefit a lot of the horns section... El Macho & Coyote!

I would welcome the return of El Macho. Coyote less so.
RAtR with other horns in addition to the flute perhaps? Dreaming!
While we're on the topic of brass instruments - I can't stand PttE with sax on it. Beautiful song that doesn't suit it or need it.

PTtE?

The last few shows of the Tracker tour had Nigel playing on it after the lyrics.
