I won't worry too much about it. Mk musicians are so professional that when they arrive to rehearsals day one they already know every song, the only thing needed is play them together twice and they have it.
This sounds more like jazz approach, but when it comes to shows like that I'd rather have 3-month rehearsal period like for DS' last tour and each show lasting for a lifetime. A small rehearsal period means simply that they (MK) don't want to bring too many of the new or vintage songs.

In a week this musicians can rehearse all MK solo repertoire perfectly.

They need to include some of the new songs and also some older ones which feature sax or trumpet for obvious reasons! ;) These are professionals and a three month rehearsal would be far too long for this band - best keep it fresh! :)

Lets just hope TR RETURNS to the setlist, remember, it was dropped for the last part of the last tour... Heartbreaking. Though, as someone who isn't old enough to have ever heard TOL live, I would consider that really something special.

I am someone who isn't old enough to have heard Brothers in Arms live. It is heartbraking for me that they didn't play it on the last two tours at the concerts I have visited. In my opinion they should play WII, R&J, SOS, TR and BIA at every show. This are the biggest 'milestones'/ 'historical items'. I think most of the people who go to a MK concert go there because of this songs...

There are certain songs that should be performed and although he can't play all of them I agree that most of these should be. Personally I don't care for BIA as I've heard it a million times and it isn't that long since he played it. He could do MFN or WOL again though as these haven't been played since 2005. I'd actually really like to hear WOL again and never thought I'd be saying that.

Trapper Man of course should be in the setlist somewhere, but as an opener? No, not if:
* Paul Crockford once again shows up in the British colour yelling "GOOOOD EVENING LAAADIES AAAAAND GENTLEMEEEN!! PLEEEASE WELCOME BACK TO BARCELONA; MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK KNOPPPPFLLAAAH!"
With that energy from the start, What It Is fits better as the setlist opener, like on the 2013 tour...
Trapper Man will indeed be the opener, if this tour's default setlist is similar to 2015:
*First song of the album acts like the opener (so did Broken Bones)
So, if we get that announcement once again, I hope What It Is, or maybe Why Aye Man is the opener, with that much energy from the start with his yelling it would be wrong to play Trapper Man with that calm intro. Then he could come out on stage and talk with a low voice, nearly whispering :lol :lol :lol
SETLIST OPENER 2019 ---> WHAT IT IS / WHY AYE MAN
My other thought is that GOYS will be entirely dropped from the set-list.
Same with 2015 tour, Beryl was the kind of promotional song of the album, was not played in the concerts. I think same will happen to GOYS..
Anyone agree about the setlist opener? :thumbsup

Yes it's probably a great opener, but it doesn't fit if Paul is meant to invade the stage again with his yelling :D
Better do it calm then, would suit Trapper Man better :thumbsup

I think Back On The Dance Floor will be the opener.
Sent from my Redmi 4A using Tapatalk
yes
from DTRW he will play machstick and one song at a time and nothing else IMO
from DS only 4 or 5 tracks R&J-SFA-SOS(I hope in 1996 version)-YLT and OES (I think that not will play TR)
from Solo I bet in Privateering-Corned beef city ticket I suppose
.......this to say that unfortunately I don't expect big surprises, in fact we should just thank him for to go on stage again, whatever he plays or sing, just be there with us again together again
:thumbsup

There has to be at least one song with trumpet or else no reason to take Graeme Blevins on tour! ;)

This makes the perfect opportunity for OES to be featured the whole tour and not only the US part.. that's why I mentioned it in earlier post.
Maybe also "I Used To Could" makes a permanent comeback too??
Post by: cannibals on March 21, 2019, 11:29:33 PM
I expect R&J Sultans YLT BIA and i have a feeling also WOL will be played again. Haven’t they played that one with sax on a private gig many years ago??? And if we get lucky perhaps a DS song that was not a hit in the old days. Something like The mans to strong, you and your friend or hand in hand :think
4/5 or 6 DS songs is all we get i think with 6 at the most. Then again, if this really is his last big tour who knows what he will do. What about 6 songs from the new album. 6 DS songs plus WII HFB Speedway and GH and we have a 16 song setlist ;D

I reckon El Macho will be in the set. Easy for him to play backing and let the trumpet lead. Not an opener but midway through the set.

Tell me any chance?very good set, but given the large band, what I expect is that many songs are like Marbletown, Privateering or Postcards and this thing doesn't really make me happy. What I want is to listen to Mark, I'm happy with just a few pieces, in some old-time piece, played with the taste of the old days, without too many frills ... bass, drums, a string of keyboards and his guitar ... I ask too much? :think

I’ve been keeping my eye on this upcoming tour with Mark Knopfler and it’s just a couple of weeks before I leave to begin rehearsals in London. Hard to believe it’s been four years since we did our last touring. These last few weeks I’ve been playing through some songs testing my memory. Pleased to say it’s come back like an old friend. I’m really looking forward to hitting the boards again with MK and that great band.

I said on here just after we saw the show for the first time that Mark seemed to speak so fondly about it as if to hint it may return. With the withdrawal of TR in the 2nd half of the Tracker tour it isn't as far fetched as we may initially think. I'm not a player (guitar that is) but there isn't such fast playing in TOL as in TR, something Mark has been commenting in some recent interviews as being something he dreads. It will be interesting to see anyway.

Yes, but Tunnel Of Love is a song in which you have to believe to sing and play it, and I doubt very much he feels like playing a rock song about fairgrounds, carrousels etc, maybe if we can add pipes on it...

Just remember what Richard posted on his site. He started to play the songs and it was like seeing old friends.

And we're not all waiting for the new 85 minute version of Marbletown!
I AM!
Just think that now there are percussion, trumpet and sax... That brings a new horizon to the song!
Post by: hunter on April 01, 2019, 11:30:29 AM
Well Richard has been around since '96 so that's quite a catalogue of songs.Exactly. The band probably has to prepare for a lot more songs than they actually end up playing. As a just-in-case thing.Not that I expect any huge setlist shake-up, but I AM curious if this year will be a bit different than usual, given that the band is bigger and because Mark seem a bit different in interviews. More upbeat, direct and personal. I don't expect anything revolutionary in the guitar department; it's pretty unrealistic that he's put himself on a strict practice regime to return to form. That said, he's got so many great songs that don't rely on guitar wizardry and are more suited to where he's at now, including a lot of the songs on the latest album, that it's still possible to shake things up and create a fresh, wonderful show.

They started the show with Done With Bonaparte
And it was surprising a trio fo songs like "In the heartland - She´s Gone - Your latest trick"
Strange things to dream about, LOL

Coincidently with John McCusker saying in twitter they were in London to start rehearsals I had a dream in which I read some of the titles of the setlist:They started the show with Done With BonaparteAnd it was surprising a trio fo songs like "In the heartland - She´s Gone - Your latest trick"Strange things to dream about, LOLYou're a fan, I guess he-he

I still remember the dream I had where Mark brought back the 1992 version of Calling Elvis except the entire play out solo was done by Nigel on sax whilst Mark gently strummed along!
In just over 3 weeks we’ll find out...

I expect at least 4 songs from the new album perhaps a change with 1 or 2 DS songs and a few new MK solo songs from other solo albums... Having said that, i wonder wich ones will be left out. Having a look at the last setlist of the 2015 tour i think these songs are out and will be replaced for others.
Broken bones, Corned beef city, Father and Son, Skydiver, Postcards, Marbletown, So far away, Piper....
Post by: jbaent on April 01, 2019, 08:31:26 PM
Add songs from your last record doesn't do the set more interesting if you keep the whole structure of the rest of the set the same that the two or three last tours...
Post by: cannibals on April 01, 2019, 08:39:21 PM
All the rest was indeed the same as usual.

The 2015 setlist was indeed pretty weak (for a MK setlist). I mean we got songs like corned beef city, skydiver, broken bones etc. In my opinion such songs cannot compete with things like why aye man, sailing to philadelphia, what it is, not to talk about telegraph road which was even dropped later on.
Agree...
Laughs and Jokes.... Skyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyiiiyeyeeyyeyeyeyey---hiiiiiihhhhhhhh- DIVER!....
and so on... Big no and hopefully they are gone from this tour...
Post by: cannibals on April 01, 2019, 09:54:48 PM
If this really is going to be his last big tour we will probably see 4/5 songs from the new album. I also expect wii and sailing back in the set. Put in 1 or 2 DS songs he has not done in years next to R&J Sultans BIA and YLT and you have 3/4 from the set.

If this will be "the same old setlist" (and we all know the songs we mean) for those who bought their tickets, this would be beyond disappointing...surely the same old songs cant be rolled out again? Surely Marbletown is in the ICU by now....?I hope it is in the ICU... Very likely because of Blood On The Dance Floor

Tall Order Baby seems not possible, but don't you think Corned Beef City did not work as well as Walk of Life/other up tempo second song in the set?
I expect Back on the Dance Floor following the opening song (Trapper Man), but a short, energetic version of TOB squeezed in between could bring a bit more life to the show 8)
I bet most of the non-hardcore audience would recieve it as Walk of Life ;)
What Have I Got to Do could be a replacement for Back on the Dance Floor or Good on You Son at some point.
My Claim to Fame instead of BIA/SFA/Piper, it's such a classic MK-feel song.

Yep. Should not expect complete shake-up of the basic setlist...
Some songs would really suit these trumpets, saxophone etc now when they are standard at every concert (?) this tour..

Post by: H97 on April 05, 2019, 11:35:32 PM
01 Trapper Man (I mean, this has to be the opener, right? Band starts playing the intro while MK walks on, and at the moment he's upfront the drums and full band kick in...)
02 Calling Elvis (It's the biggest band since DS days, no? Time to bring this one back. Open like in 2001, some atmospheric synths to give the wrists their rest and this one doesn't even necessarily need the fastest guitar playing in the world, keep it down to earth, build it up slowly give the folkies some strumming instrument... a man can dream..)
03 Back on the Dance Floor (We know for sure it will be played and would fit perfectly after the first DS classic, maybe even slightly abridge with the previous song, a nice new breather)
04 Sailing to Philadelphia (Keeping it nice and easy with a solid classic, perfectly solo tie-breaker for the first half of the set!)
05 Metroland (we've even got a trumpet player this time! Haven't we waited long enough? A nice deep cut to satisfy the die-hard fans and lure new people in further, like Wag the Dog did in 2001. Great substitute for Hillfarmer's Blues)
06 When You Leave (I'd place Seattle here if Ruth Moody joined, but this can take its place - let the brass shine!)
07 She's Gone/Your Latest Trick (another confirmed one, would be perfect to abridge to When You Leave instead of She's Gone if only both were in the same key (instead of Emaj and Fmin :( ))
08 Romeo and Juliet (The live staple of MK shows, cannot be missed. And hey, we've got sax with us, so bring on that lovely sweet song. If this is the last tour, Mark cannot miss out on it (+ is was already played during a promo show for DTRW, so MK's still got it))
09 Nobody Does That (Let's celebrate the brass once more before we put them down for a while - this is where Broken Bones should've been, can take Sonny Liston's or Gator Blood's place) (If MK wants to go folk here, like he did with Haul Away and Mighty Man, put in Drover's Road!)
10 My Bacon Roll ('scuse me? One of the most acclaimed songs of the new album and a really nice haunting vibe, extended that outro further with some licks and you're good to go)
11 Portobello Belle (It's been too long since this one has been played and I'd say it perfectly fits MK right now. I'm still dying for a version with the folk influence that doesn't end as abruptly as the 1996 video, so bring it back. Also, I like to put a DS song in here, instead of all clustered together. Nice balance between new, old and new versions of the old :) )
12 One Song at a Time (Alright, assume Mark already introduced the brass at the start of Nobody Does That, this song then provides the perfect new Postcards from Paraguay. Same trick: drums first, then that cute organ, bass, etc. He has to play it, down the road wherever...)
13 Heavy Up (Lighten the mood even further! No longer Marbletown is the big one at the end, but a nice jam on Heavy Up: not too long, but good for dancing and bringing the brass back to shine on the next song...)
14 On Every Street (Telegraph Road is of course the magnum opus, but I think it has retired: the piano gives Mark some rest and the outro is just iconic. I'm dying to see it live once)
15 Speedway at Nazareth (A long, growling solo to end the main set. Maybe the essential song of Mark's solo career and live always stunning. Should by all means be there and has grown up, it's worthy of closing the set)
ENCORE:
16 Matchstick Man (Mark said he'd play it, and can you imagine him returning to the stage, lights dimmed, acoustic guitar and nothing more? I can. So there he was then...)
17 So Far Away (Yeah, this one will never retire. Quite remarkable he chose this song to become his DS classic, no? It wasn't even played that often with the band in the heydays and skipped it during the Golden Heart tour. Brought it back after 10 years in 2001)
18 Going Home (Going out with a bang, and definitely possible with this band. Also, nice hint/promotion of the musical. I could even see The Mist Covered Mountains return as the intro, played by the band. Even though I loved Piper to the End live, this one blew me away much more. The moment everyone kicks in just does things to a room)
So, maybe a little bit heavy on the last album and DS (eight and six songs), and representing not many others (only Local Hero (1); Sailing (2); Metroland (1)), but I'd love to see something like this live. Would work absolutely well with the new album. Being totally realistic though, I expect Privateering and Hill Farmer's Blues to return and Just a Boy to debut after Romeo and Juliet. Encore will probably include Brothers in Arms or Our-Shangri-La at times. What It Is might return as well, Why Aye Man maybe even... so many songs would work perfectly.
Post by: enrkaton82 on April 07, 2019, 02:25:22 AM
I think that is one is realistic, without guitar pyrotecnics where MK is vulnerable to errors. Also is balanced with folk/brass, old/new, classics/obscure ones. And also is a solid show that uses all the colours of MK palette, well thought like "We are going to do a two hours emotional experience with a farewell and gratitude feeling after an entire life dedicated to music" and not "just play two hours of stuff"
1. WHAT IT IS (I know it has been played to death, but lord... This is the signature song of his solo career. It is also a perfect opener like 2013 and can made feel confortable people who don´t know his career very well)
2. TRAPPER MAN (energetic second one, groovy and earfriendly)
3. PRIVATEERING (one of the late-second-row-classics of his career. Good showcase for the folkies. I think that one of the keys of the show must be keeping the balance between brass section and folkies without eclipsing MK to much)
4. BACK IN THE DANCEFLOOR (one of the singles. with the brass section doing Imelda parts)
5. WHEN YOU LEAVE (intimate after the joy, dark scenario with MK doing some small electric licks and no solo)
6. ONE SONG AT A TIME (folkies again. One of the songs that sum up the career of MK)
7. SHES GONE / LASTEST TRICK (brass again. DS tune, in order to put some in the set. Its obvious that MK struggles with heavy-guitar stuff like SOS, so should play in a confort zone where he can shine doing small and brighty things)
8. I USED TO COULD (something rockier, not with sax like 2013-15, but with the full brass section)
9. ROMEO (since 1980. Not only tu put another DS classic, just because pure logic. This is the flag of MK entire trajectory. Can you imagine attending a Toto gig without hearing Africa?)
10. NOBODY DOES THAT (filling the gap that Paraguay left, i am not ready to hear that lacklust old song again. I would like to hear the new lacklust one. Don´t get me wrong, it is a simple relaxed song in order to put some fun and introduce the band during a 12 minutes extended version with a small MK solo, sax solo, trumpet solo and keayboard solo)
11. ON EVERY STREET (another suitable classic. Last tour worked very well. Very sentimental. Past and present)
12. MARBLETOWN (the return of the folkies. MK will play this one to death because he´s addicted to this one)
13. SPEEDWAY (another big one. Long and loud enough to close main set)
14. BROTHERS (another DS classic to fill the service sheet)
15. SO FAR AWAY (after the sentimental-slow-long DS classic, the frivolous-"fast"-short one. Very recognizible to people who came to the show without knowing MK solo career. We must recognize that a important part of the audience are just casual DS fans who know about of a dozen DS commercial classics. This tune is for them)
16. PIPER (First one of the encore with folkies. Farewell song for the show and possibly for the big tours. Very sentimental)
17. MATCHSTICK MAN (wait a minute, after the farewell, MK comes solo in a dark scenario with a spotlight over him. The closing story to a like on the road)
18. GOING HOME (just after Matchstick, atmospheric keyboards start building up in order to start Going home, without a word in between. The road goes forever)
BEING PESIMISTIC (REALISTIC) With MK in a ultra comfort mode
1. BROKEN BONES (please no. I can´t stand the thought os MK liking it so much from the previous tour and recyclyng again for this one)
2. CORNED BEEF
3. PRIVATEERING
4. FATHER AND SON
5. HILL FARMER
6. WHEN YOU LEAVE
7. ROMEO
8. SONNY LISTON
9. HAUL AWAY
10. POSTCARDS
11. MARBLETOWN
12. SPEEDWAY
13. SHANGRI LA
14. SO FAR AWAY
15. GOING HOME
11.

I could even see The Mist Covered Mountains return as the intro, played by the band. Even though I loved Piper to the End live, this one blew me away much more. The moment everyone kicks in just does things to a room)
So, maybe a little bit heavy on the last album and DS (eight and six songs), and representing not many others (only Local Hero (1); Sailing (2); Metroland (1)), but I'd love to see something like this live. Would work absolutely well with the new album. Being totally realistic though, I expect Privateering and Hill Farmer's Blues to return and Just a Boy to debut after Romeo and Juliet. Encore will probably include Brothers in Arms or Our-Shangri-La at times. What It Is might return as well, Why Aye Man maybe even... so many songs would work perfectly.
:clap :clap :clap very good set list, I hope like you in Portobello Belle and I add Sultans Of Swing (I think that not will be another Large Tour for Mark and 40 years after debut album he'll play that) .......No for Heavy up :wave

They did indeed rehearse at British Grove for the Shangri-La tour back in 2005. Photos of those rehearsals were included in Guy’s Shangri-La tour diary (which is currently unavailable), but because Mark had yet to record any albums there and it was not acknowledged at the time that the band were there, none of us would have been any the wiser anyway. I think it turned out that as brilliant a facility as British Grove is, it wasn’t terribly practical for tour rehearsals, hence the reason other locations have been used since then.

British Grove studios were open after the Shangri-la tour so it's impossible they rehearse there...

But I'm not sure if it was British Grove or a similar place.
What it's sure is that after the opening, they never rehearsed there.

As far as I remember ATRR was not only mixed at BG but the last recording sessions for the album took place at BG and so ATRR has the first MK songs recorded at BG on it.

Check the credits on the Shangri-La album. It was mixed at British Grove, and that was as far back as 2004.

So indeed it could be possible they rehearsed for the tour there, as it was just opened probably they didn't have so many clients as they do now and they had availability ;D

imo separately until MK is happy with the song then go to the next, when all done they probably try a full show
Post by: jbaent on April 10, 2019, 09:47:53 PM
They do rehearsals in two times, the first one they gather in a rehearsing room and they start playing the songs one by one until they learn them. That could last around two weeks.
Then the last week they move to a bigger venue where they play what is called production rehearsals. They play all the songs at a big stage while technics try the PA sound, the lights etc. When they end this process, they do a full show usually without any public to check everything is well.
Then they took some free days until the first concert.

Or perhaps Guy just wanted to make a statement for all the other questions he will get in the future about songs in the setlist. Well it was worth the try, maybe it will show up again at some point in the tour.... :think

I wonder if the boxer is a song MK would do again. I asked Guy but he replied SLQ and it would have been much easier to say this was a one time thing they did last year because of Paul Simon’s retiring.

To be fair, i don't know why you would want to ask Guy a question about the setlist if you have been following this or his forum for the last couple of years. He made the statement over and over again. However I seriously doubt that that song will show up again.

It might be. Music Bank is the same place where they have been rehearsing for tours and tours, actually they did that two secret shows in 2012 before the NA tour with Dylan there as well.
Usually Guy posted many pictures from the terrace of the building where you can see the railway tracks and the new tower at London Bridge stations, The Shard. Looks like they moved to another place really...

I suppose there isn't a great deal to say at the moment. This is just an intro and previous entries at this stage have been much the same if I recall. The really interesting stuff comes during the tour when he does his Tour Diary IMO. I'm just grateful for any insight, however imperceptible it may be.
The London drum company published some more interesting pictures in their instagram account where you can see the Ian and Danny kit, for example...

Post by: PensaGhost on April 22, 2019, 05:32:26 PM
Almost everyone welcomes a refreshed setlist, but al of a sudden I am kind of „worried“ if they probably would change TOO much. I just hope MK had not created a setlist which is different in any possbile way, for instance, that they added only songs where the trumpet, sax and the folkies can shine. In this case, MK wouldn‘t need to play serious guitar ::) that said, I am totally fine if it is a mixture of guitar songs and songs where the rest are featured, but in the end I am going to see a concert because of Mark.
I have been worried for months, let's see in 3 days

If this turns out to be a bad joke I forsee a ban in a not too distant future. ;)

Our time in Scotland meant both Mark and I felt we were slightly behind schedule so the three week rehearsal period was welcomed.

Do I read too much into it or does Richard know that it could be the last big one?

I do plan to enjoy every minute of this adventure, each show, every meal and all the cities.

Your probably read too much. But considering Mark ageing there is good chance it is the last big one.

I got the same feeling reading Richard's words.

Let’s just focus on this tour, enjoy it and see what may subsequently happen...

Mark had said in several interviews it will probably the last big tour.
"will probably" is a bit too strong. More like "there is a chance".
I must say I think Mark handles this very wisely. He has aged gracefully and he seems to be planning to wind down in style.

Always seen him as a genuine, down-to-earth person.
Hopefully he will miss the fans and everything so much that another album/tour will happen, as long as he is still at good health. If not a new album then a tour with the best of the best 8)

Íf he is planning to wind down touring will go first he said in an interview. :)
Probably the next tour will be something like 4/5 weeks in Europe/UK and a few weeks in the US.
Nothing like he is doing now. About 12 weeks in Europe/UK and 6 in the US.
At least that is what i expect for a next tour..... :think

Actually I think he should have done that already in this tour, the current schedule is too tough, he was already tired after some shows in 2015

Absolutely. He was worn out on the last tour. It can't be good for a guy his age or condition and the performances must suffer. Certainly the shows became shorter.

I totally agree it should have been a shorter tour this time. I feel quite worried for him, in fact.

One would expect more breaks between dates but he’s doing a really big tourschedule. Like in the DS days. But i assume he can do it. I can not imagine he has nothing to say in his own tourschedule...Íf he is planning to wind down touring will go first he said in an interview. :)
