Down The Road Wherever EU & NA tour / Re: 2019 Tour USB Stick Recordings

OTN is clearly edited. Really doesn't sound live at all.

Basel is a great REAL representation of that tour.

I remember very clearly going in to buy OTN on the day of release and being very disappointed.

Even aged 14 I could tell it was crap, as I already had the Ticket to Heaven bootleg.

Down The Road Wherever EU & NA tour / Re: It's A Shame Really

As ever, the set is designed for the majority, not the small percentage of "get a lifers" who check each set list.

The vast majority of the thousands who attend each concert (95%? Guess) will attend one show and not download multiple.

They will go away happy.

Setlist is correct and yes, it was really hot.
Concert was great, Mark in a chatty mood, talking about playing until he collapses!
I really liked all songs and although hoping for BIA, Piper was really moving, wonderful!

The band was great as ever and I am sure, Guy will say, it was the best concert ever!

And now it is time to get some sleep!

Some very fair points. Incidentally, personally I think we haven’t given Guy nearly a hard enough time for not honouring his promise to leave the band if Dance Floor wasn’t played.

Guy said they've played it, presumably meaning that they've tried it and it just didn't work.

The set is created around what Mark is (still) able and feels comfortable to play. I think that is the main reason for choosing which song will be played and which not. Thoughts about a good mixture or a great dynamic in the set were probably more important at earlier tours. It's that easy really I guess. I guess Mark has more health and maybe mental issues than we might think and putting on a good show might be much more demanding to him than in let's say 2015. Playing the same set every night gives him comfort and safety while he maybe has lost some of these feelings in daily life. That might be the reason for him discovering that touring suits him and makes him re-think the announced tour stop. So the only shame really here is that even a man with a Heart of Oak like Mark Knopfler gets old.

I agree with you, Mark today is this.
Anyway his show is yet the best that you can find around the world
Mark is simply the best

I have seen it one day by trying to look on what he was playing on guitar, in order to do the same.
at 3:43 it's  even more visible !

 

Go to this link, https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x16q210, and compare 3:16 and 4:22 !

Lol I've watched OTN a thousand times and never saw that

Same here.  In fact I had to watch it a few times to spot it now!
