Very curious about the 1st set list. 8)
I sincerely hope it isn't underwhelming but I won't hold my breath. Excitement still building though for all sorts of reasons. Can't wait until the first videos appear on YouTube either and we get a little teaser.

It's the cheapest place in town to book as nothing happens there besides concerts or other shows. Not any team of whatever sport plays there, at all.
Weird. For sure it wasn't designed to be a concert hall.

Right.
Obviously they do it to sell enough tickets to cover the touring costs. But sonically it's a disaster.

When I was in Barcelona years ago I walked all the way up there just to see the venue where DS played (nutter :lol). It's not such a bad place really. Isn't there a stadium next door too? I seem to recall the doors were open and I had a peek inside. Apart from that there's nothing much up there from what I recall apart from views over the city.
Apparently the tenants are FC Barcelona. Wonder if Messi will be at the concert...
Post by: jbaent on April 24, 2019, 02:07:10 PM
Palau Sant Jordi is a tricky place because of the acoustics. I attended there many concerts and they usually sounds well. I saw MK there I think two times with the stage at the middle of the arena and the sound wasn't bad considering half venue was empty behind the stage and the sound was being loose through the Dome...

I wonder what the band are doing today - must be a slightly odd day, probably a few nerves...
Once the tour is underway it’s a lot easier to relax (plus there’s travelling to fit in) but today... off to the gym maybe, nice coffee and read the paper?
Probably a sound check at 6pm but that’s still a few hours to kill beforehand...

Nice picture. Good to see two esteemed members enjoying themselves on the left there. But where's the others?
I can recognise most of them, but where is Jbaent and Tunnel85?

Could the many DS songs indicate that this is indeed the last big tour? At any rate, I really hope they do play some of the old DS songs. They really need to be brought back to life. By the man himself. This is exciting.
I am mentally prepared for this to be the last one!
Just enjoy it all! :thumbsup

For this reason is probably a set list full of surprises, it was certainly not safe given that in the past the set lists were static.

Final prediction ( :p ) OUATITW / Trapper / Why Aye / Dancefloor / Silvertown / I Used to Could / She's Gone and YLT / Romeo / Sultans / Bonaparte / Heart Full of Holes / One Song at a Time / Postcards / OES / SAN / TR
Encore of Matchstick MFN and GH?
Can't seem to fit in songs from GL and Tracker though
Post by: straitsway75 on April 25, 2019, 08:35:16 PM
If OUATITW is really played, it seems like MK is doing at least one from every album for this show, that'd be quite something...accept

Can you imagine the face of the people there????I can´t understand why he didn´t play OUATITV as 1st song, remembering Alchemy´s times....
Exxactly the reason why he is not doing that....

good old Waterline man in the house! you gonna be at RAH son?7. my bacon roll
Gave to admit it’s not one of my favourites but then neither was HFB or Marbletown until I heard them live👍
Well I thank you mr pottel for the welcome. I’m afraid Dublin will be my only concert this year with my two oldest, who are finally getting to see what it’s all about. Dusty had generously offered me a RAH ticket but I’d have to take the week off to get the two concerts in 😪😪

I think the performance has been sublime regardless of fast solos or not. Much better performance and more well put together show than beginning of the last tour. They have worked way harder this time around.
Agree. A lot of thought has been put into the arrangements and not just cobbled together auto-pilot from last tour.

Overall a GREAT concert. I guess they might be working on Dancefloor and Trapper. I can't see Corned Beef staying permanently for the whole tour... Some songs might have been short but I think its fine they get a bit more stuff in. They still perfomed 2.30 hours!I agree, only strange to skip Sultans on your last big tour :think

Totally agree. I also think Nobody Does That didn't really work and Matchstick is a waste of time, although I reckon I'm in a minority. He has a habit of choosing the wrong songs from new albums.

A female vocalist is on Trapper and Dancefloor. Could it be a female vocalists joins later during the tour and then they will do those songs then? I vaguely remember they did something like that in the past during a tour. That after a musician joined the band they started playing other songs.
The RAH gigs specifically mentions guest stars! And Imelda is doing something early May but probably free later in the month...

Just one of the many highlights. Bravo to Mark and the band for this. I am disappointed not hearing Sultans and OSAAT, however this is just one concert. The show did have minimal guitar but it's great to have him back and if we can have great refreshing songs like this then I'm happy and the audience sounded pretty happy too.

So, just to make sure I understand:Theirs too many band members to introduce this tour.
MK forgot to play the two singles from his new album?
He forgot to play SULTANS??
He forgot to introduce the band???
Guy said there's be surprises and he was right!

How are we on a livestream btw?
“It has come to our attention that there are unauthorized live-streaming sites advertising Mark’s upcoming concerts as available for viewing. The authenticity of these sites is highly questionable, as no such services have been authorized or endorsed by management, promoters and venues. We strongly advise fans not to sign up to or pay for any sites purporting to live-stream Mark’s concerts, and will be actively working with venues to prevent unauthorized live-streaming activity”

Interesting, is the Management a reader of this Forum?
I think these streams are fake. Youtube is full of these during sport events.

Ianto might be a hell of a drummer, but his jazz DNA totally not suits this song. He totally not nailed the intro. Imagine this being played by 2010 Danny.

Their contributions are great if course. The Sax fits much better than Nigel, while Chris White stays unbeaten.

He is getting rid of the Red strat doesn't he? No SOS no RAJ outro, no GH with strat.
Hopefully not! Perhaps the Gibson, is more comfortable for him to play? Time will tell...
Post by: Maxx on April 26, 2019, 08:52:48 AM
What a version of Once Upon a Time! That song has never been a favorite of mine, but in this occasion it sounds fresh. And the Les Paul does it job here.
The full intro (and outro) version of MFN is great, and maybe the ultimate clue that this actually IS the final tour. ::)
Best sounding Going Home since ever?

I thought the whole band looked rather "stiff", but I think all this will change once the ball gets rolling properly.

I was as if Mark had read this forum, and wanted to send us a message: ok, you think I'm too static, playing the same thing over and over ? Let's see then.
Although I know OUATITW by heart, it took me a lot of seconds to actually name it - my brain had a failure and just could not connect what it was hearing with what I knew.
I was so happy to hear WAM as an opener - and what a version ! Selfishly it is also because I never had the chance to hear it live - Now it's done in the best way :)
Hearing Silvertown and MFN (with fantastic old intro ! ) were also shocking experiences, in the best of ways. I thought TR would be dropped, but no ! It was in a such a dream state when it came, that I thought that the "karaoke mode" might be dropped and the first guitar solo would be resurrected ! Alas no, but never mind.
Almost everything has been rearranged with the new musicians. This last solo your has a bit of a feel of the last DS tour: crowded stage, and every musician has a chance to shine... Negative people will say that Mark is trying to burry the (lack of) guitar under sax and trumpet, but who cares, the result is a fantastic new sound !
I was moved to tears. Never seen Mark so chatty. Lame humour was dropped in favor of self-deprecating farewell talk ("I'm an older man"..."grandpa needs to go to bed"..."it is not only hello Barcelona but also good bye Barcelona"... Strangely, no band introductions. To save every bit of time for music ? The show lasted an incredible 2.5 hours, unseen since 1996 !
Songs like Heart full of Holes and Machstick man were taken a whole new level compare to the album, with majesty and sounding like personal confessions. Even the Spanish crowd, that was a bit disrespectful at times (wisteling during STP for instance) was dead silent during these intimate moments.
Too bad we didn't get One Song At a Time as a closer - this would have been perfect. As usual, Mark didn't do complete justice to the new album. One Bacon Roll was fabulous, and why choose "Nobody does that ?" Nobody does that but you, Mark ! Never mind :)
But it was so good, then why stop, then ? Well, don't you think it is better to leave on a high than on a low ? I just hope he can finish this tour as well as he started it. I was very close to the stage and I could clearly see him shaking, struggling to focus with intense concentration. He his pushing himself to his current limits. Thanks for that Grandpa - we love you so much !

I said at the time it wasn't the Strat - it sounded different. I knew instantly we weren't getting Sultans from that point. Funny because he could already change over to the blue Pensa and play the outro, then into Bacon Roll surely?

Listening to a clip of My Bacon Roll on YouTube now. At one point they stop playing and the whole band and audience sing "Have you got my roll, my roll ... My bacon roll". Ha-ha! Who'd have thought you'd hear THAT line at a rock concert! Sounds great by the way.
It's the Skydiver of this tour, but so much better don't you think?

On a different topic, I was feeling a little sorry for the folkies last night. No laughing at the back. Here is this new brass section coming in and having their influence on most of the songs and the folkies have been pushed to the side with songs like Haul Away, Privateering and Marbletown axed and the guys being forced to play tambourines. I wonder what they're thinking and if musicians of their calibre were really needed on this tour.

Yes, I wondered if they were surplus to requirements this time, but maybe their turn will come at other concerts in the tour. :think

Corned Beef City => Trapper Man
My Bacon Roll => One Song At A Time
Even so:
Done With Bonaparte => Portobello
Speedway At Nazareth => Sultans
Let's see how it evolves and if we get some further surprises! Enjoy the Tour friends ;-)

Agree regarding Nobody Does That - nobody should've done that! Although I'd love to hear One Song, Bacon Roll was very nice so rather at the expense of another song. Don't understand the liking of Matchstick Man. Could omit that altogether as far as I'm concerned. Why play Privateering when he has Sky and Water, the new sea shanty? BIA has had it's day - OES was performed better last night than any version in 2015 without doubt. As I said way back in 2015 his guitar needed a thicker sound and now we have it. We're really being picky though because it's a great set that works well.

No, I wasn't there. That buddy over there sent a few voice recordings. And that's the result I get from all those hd videos. In 2011, he was much braver. Of course, being there is something else. Those who are there can interpret better. What do you think?

He made quite a lot of new arrangements. I also think he has a different kit with different sound. I'll have to listen back recordings from tours before to really say something about it. I agree it sounds different to before. The snare sounds a little bit thinner than previous I heard, I quite like his sound nowadays but the drum department will always be a matter of personal taste!

Julien Flamand has added some too, including Heart Full... Difficult to make out on the video but there was quite a lot of different brass instruments used on it including what looked like a coaching horn! Couldn't be, they're usually copper.
I liked Heart Full very much, but the audience response was rather quiet, I thought. I hope Poupystar has recorded it for a better picture and sound.

I thought that too. Perhaps not many actually knew of the song with it being previously unplayed and from an older album? Perhaps one they may alternate or even drop.

I really hope that they will return WAM as an opener. Great opening tune and fantastic version.
Agree. Everyone agrees on this. WAM > NDT

To be fair on NDT they messed it up a bit on the first night and didn't do it justice. It could evolve into something much better.

This is the part that really struck me because I really felt like a closed door, that he was meaning "this a goodbye and I won't come back here".
But maybe I am a over interpreting?

you can't listen something with a crap sound quality like that one, I have a basically perfect audience recording, outstanding playing,
the only problem is that it's a short final solo

I think he has some kind of injury, the angle of the guitars he is holding and the strap seems shorter which is making the guitar higher up and making it look awkward. I could be wrong but something doesn't seem right about it.
lol, he's just bigger

there's zero struggling infact, you have no idea what you are talking about, if you listen to a crap recording you don't get what's really happening, even if you have a very trained ear, that recording is just unlistenable, same for the valencia one

erm, its most certainly the back playing up, His movements aren't good. Mind you his stomach does act as a good wedge for the guitar....
Post by: Knopflerfan on April 27, 2019, 04:26:10 PM
I agree with that, I have watched an audience shot performance where the visuals are good but the sound not so good, but then listened to the official download version, and the sound and playing are incredible. I still think he has an injury though, he is not moving when playing solo's, which is unusual for him.
Again the back seems the issue and I am wondering some sort of Arthritis?? He is somewhat 'Rooted to the spot'

Whatever the merit of judging these performances there's no doubt that the tempo of TR was subtly altered some time ago to aid mark a little. Plenty of little 'greenies' in both performances, but also plenty of effort and still some good little fluid passages.
Gives us mere mortals some hope ;)

indeed, relax, enjoy the tour as it goes on, it WILL be the last one.Yes Agree 100% pottel! We need to just give the man our full support/admiration for the decades of enjoyment he has given to us all! Be thankful he still writes, records and performs but now now constrained by failing physical adroitness.
and yes, who knows, maybe it is not him becoming an older man, but rather an arthritis problem in his fingers.

As a person with arthritis, in almost every joint of my body, I can totally empathize with Mark if his does have it! His early years as a Hill Farmer, exposed to all weathers and a motorbike accident, must have had some impact on his body, so let's just be REAL happy that he can still lift a guitar let alone do all these concerts for us fans.

Yes, speed is the only thing that has suffered (quite big time) for the last 15 years, especially since he was so fast previously.
Gilmour for example has not suffered much on the speed side cause pink floyd songs have always been pretty slow since the very beginning, contrarily to dire straits songs.
Regarding all the rest, touch, inspiration, is beyond imagination,
for example Telegraph Road final solo from 1992 was much faster than now obviously, but he is struggling now ?
I don't think so, actually the Barcelona final solo from this tour imo is much more enjoyable overall to me than the much faster ones.

As much as I like the album version of Nobody Does That, I agree that it isn't working live (yet), mainly because Mark just mumbles and is hardly understandable. The relaxed feel of OUATITW is absolutely gorgeous. Plus he plays some very signature style licks on that one.
Silvertown Blues needs some more runnings to be really great. On Every Street doesn't do it for me live as it already didn't in 2015 with this band as it so much needs Paul Franklin. Otherwise I do not really miss anything. Maybe Father and Son, but certainly not HFB or Sultans which had their time and were not given justice anymore in 2015. Good to skip them now.
Just some thoughts.

To see Mark playing STP and DWB seems much more right and better than Skydiver or Broken Bones. It's a lovely feeling of homecoming and satisfaction. The new arrangement of Matchstick Man is really beautiful and My Beacon Roll is pretty good in the second half.

I think the real issue is one of timing. As you and I know Knopfler/Fingerstyle guitar is very precise and demanding, the slightest of errors can leave you looking a bit silly. That's what I've sensed from much of marks recent playing. It will be interesting to see what happens during the rest of the tour because it could just be 'rust' rather than age that we're picking up on.
Whatever, he's still great, and I owe him a huge thankyou for making me want to play and teach.

Also note that on TR, for instance, he uses a much more overdriven guitar sound than previously. That makes things sound much more fluid and covers up moments of "imprecision". Same with Once Upon A Time.
Some may call it cheating, but I actually admire Mark for adjusting to reality and being able to make things work nonetheless. It would not work on Sultans, I think. It has and requires too many "twiddly bits" to be a proper version, and with a distorted sound it would sounds mushy.

I think the other thing we're forgetting is that in 'the day' 99% of marks solos were religiously practiced and drilled. In his solo career he has drifted away from this approach and likes to improvise more. This also probably accounts for the odd 'fall from the tightrope'...

Good point. Which is why everything seemed so effortless before. To make the improvisation approach work and not turn into a mess, you really need to be on your toes and have a huge vocabulary at the ready.
