I therefore thought it would be a good idea to have a thread were we could post "breaking news", such as the introduction of new songs to the setlist, band members filling new roles (Danny on STP for instance), new arrangements, new instruments, band/crew member replacements, etc. Not that I expect a lot of breaking news, but you never know.
Admins: Maybe this thread could be made a sticky?

That's been his tone since the start - nothing's changed. Not really sure why people are so certain to think he's going to continue anyway. So he altered his farewell speech slightly, but surely it was just to make it less sombre? He realised his original one just killed the atmosphere stone dead.

Yesterday in Stupinigi we had a support act! at 19.00 on stage we had mr. Mc Goldrick and Mr. Mc Cusker plaiyng 5 scottish folks songs.... They said it was the first time that Mark allow them to do a personal gig before the main show...Very nice...

I think he's done with his TR and BIA. Personally, I think Mark has been reflecting on the work he has done, and is maybe regretting not playing more of his other work over the years. Not regretting in a bad way, but just maybe realising how much good work he has written, and could have played more of it live. I mean, who would have thought he would have played WUATITW on this tour?

I hope you're wrong too! I understand why MK has said he will stop touring - particularly with his present physical condition, but I'm sure he won't retire from being a musician. He will always want to write songs, play and record them as long as he is able. Anyway, I'm pretty certain he has a big stack of unreleased material to keep us happy for many years! :)

Personally I think one reason for adding Once Upon a Time is, maybe, to compensate for the removal of Sultans. They know the fans crave some of the early goldies. Not only is it a very cool song, but it is a lot easier to play than Sultans. And Sultans had really gotten long in the tooth by now. Good choice to get rid of it.Good choice to get rid of Sultans..that song defines the start of Marks career, a true milestone which is always a pleasure to hear live regardless. My opinion

I understand what you're saying, but he has not done this song justice during the last couple of tours. Half-hearted attempt, played more out of duty than out of inspiration, messy solos, etc. Yes, good riddance.

In the last part of the EU tour, he started holding his hand in front of his eyes, showing what he meant.. and the shouting of course. Ljubljana x5 times must be the record.

I honestly can't see everyone checking their phones to see if a light comes on at the front when they start recording just before the show starts because Crocks asks them to. Most people only want to record MFN anyway.

Could not find a better word. Anyways, found it harsh to call this action "pretty sad" without really knowing for sure what is being plannedBefore writing pretty sad, based on a pretty wild conspiracy theory, maybe ask guy?On Facebook, Guy asked if fans could send him videos from the tour playing MFN. Wonder, what this is for!
To me, it means that Guy and maybe the band want something as a keepsake of this lädt tour. Mark is not into doing a Blu-ray so Guy has to search for other ways to get some footage. Pretty sad.

Guy said a video credit would be given so presumably it isn't for personal use. My suggestion perhaps isn't too crazy after all. It could be used to advertise on social media these days. It also explains why he asked for MFN, that being the biggest hit.As in the great pink Floyd official video bit " bootlegging the bootleggers"

MK himself has explicitly forbidden video taping and now they ask for some :disbelief
If they want some, they still can hire a pro for any of their show.
Or ask Poupystar...(<joking>)

Do we have any info about the henrick hansson project? Is this stil happening and was he present at this tour like he was during the tracker tour?
I believe at one point Guy said in his Q&A-forum that Henrik Hanson wasn't present on this current tour and he has no knowledge as to the current state of the project.

I guess that the Henrik Hansen dvd will be in the same drawer than Madrid 2001, Shepperd Bush 2002 or BBC 2013...

Assuming MK will take a break when this tour is over untill next year any rumours on what he will do in 2020?
Working on another album would be nice, and release Back in the Day on that... Have Guy or someone explained why it was withdrawn from DTRW?
Dream thinking would be new tour in 2021... We had 2 tours 2013-2015 so 2019-2021 is not impossible, but I doubt that it will happen considering how Mark has aged since last tour.

Record the cd for the Local hero musical and work in the adaptation of it for the London representations.

At the beginning of the tour I thought that would be impossible. I was worried about his well-being (still a bit) but last week he was on fire, sometimes playing better than the last few tours and it seems he's having fun! My dream scenario would be another tour in 2020 without a new record, he can make those after the tour ;D Let the circus continue rolling with maybe another two or three OUATITW-like surprises. Of course this his highly unlikely but I just won't think about this week being the end of the big shows.

I too was concerned about whether he would reach the end, however he is playing much better than at the start. Regarding any future touring possibility however one must bear in mind that the setlist has been tuned to accommodate his current ability and come next time he will be in his mid 70s...

Me too! Hope so.... But with MK when you hope it's not going to happen ;D ;D ;D Anyhow would be great to see a proper video this time. These snippets look great.
Don't forget that they recorded at least three concerts (maybe four) from the Tracker tour, by Henrik Hansen, and except the bits included in the "Good on you son" video clip, the material lies on a drawer... or a closet :lol

Our set itself wasn’t without its technical difficulties. At the beginning of the second song, the entire lighting rig failed. It took LD, Tellson James, a few seconds to react and hit Mark with a spot whilst the lighting boys re-patched or rebooted (I suspect the latter) and a couple of minutes later, it returned. It was interesting playing in the darkness for a few minutes. There were also a few rather off-putting crackles emanating from an electric guitar, I suspect from stage left and Richard’s rig. Not sure what happened but considering we’ve done 22 shows and it’s the first instance of such things, we’re not doing too badly.
Looks unlikely they would release a dvd/bluray of a concert where lights went off for some minutes and they had to play in the dark... :hmm

They could mix it with Antwerp (if they recorded that one as well) or with another concert they recorded. That could work... I was just looking trough some videos from the O2. Also in Romeo Mark asked again somebody to turn the light off... That is also not so nice dvd/blu-ray material I guess :smack :lol :lol
Really hope they would release something like that. But I’m not getting my hopes up again, I believe it when it is in my mailbox :lol

The last few shows have been outstanding performances and would've made for a fine DVD, although missing the killer songs.
