Rolling on...

[Localhero]

Some news from Elian who is in Antwerp.
Why Aye Man and Cleaning My Gun played tonight. No Get Lucky, no Monteleone and no Piper !
A "very big" gig, better than London, more rock.

[Localhero]

Here is the setlist :
Border Reiver
Why Aye Man
What It is
Sailing to Philadelphia
Cleaning My Gun
Hill Farmer's Blues
Romeo & Juliet
Sultans of Swing
Done With Bonaparte
Marbletown
Speedway At Nazareth
Telegraph Road

Encores
Brothers in Arms
So Far Away

Elian said that apparently MK seems suffering a little, the band was ok for a last title (Piper ?) but it was too much for MK.

[Pottel]

yes
so no coyote, no prairie, therefore cleaning and Why Aye man (second song)
very much q rocking show indeed, today elian was right ;-)
he should have told us he would be there.
the only dissapointment was no "end song"
before the show started i happened to go round the back of the hall, only to see am12345 from (mainly) over at the mknezs forum, who had managed to get a little get together with Richard. so i grabbed my chance and said hi.
top guy that Richard.
i hope i left he best possible impression of my hometozn on Isaac, whom i showed aroundin antwerp (check his blog tomorrow)
cool to see wlbmk, currywurst+hagelslag and am12345 again, as well as jeroen brouwers and jeroen van tol:
imho, this was one of their best, albeit shortest shows of this tour!

[Pottel]

biggest difference was that mark made far shorter band introductions then in London, spoke way less as well, as if he assumed we do not speak well enough English.

[Pottel]

MK apparently (according to Richard) slept before the show

Thanks a lot for the fast news Localhero and thanks a lot to Elian also for keeping us informed,For me this is the perfect setlist ,I hope Why Aye Man and Cleaning my Gun stay in the set for as long as possible ,could be really good if he played Piper too but I think Mark's health is something more important than just a song! I hope he soon recovers from all this pain!

[Love Expresso]

Did  I miss here something?  I thought his back was mending... Or has MK another illness I am not aware of?

Well it would be perfect with Wild Theme 
The "problem" is that tonight show was only 14 songs.
We're so far from the long 96 setlist, for example Vaison :
Darling Pretty
Walk Of Life
Imelda
The Bug
R

[Pottel]

oh, and this was the hottest show in a long time, reminds me of Brussels 2008, maybe it was even as hot as that legendary sauna show in Hannover in 1996

[Pottel]

listening to Why Aye (audience, although i did buy the stick) and boy it is simply sooo good...

Incredible setlist !
Hmmmm Mark, a little "Water of love" or "Your own sweet way" would be good sometimes 

Yes, Vaison 96 is a hell of a show. Best ever TR, longest and best ever SoS, fantastic Water Of Love and LH.... Too bad that it was to early in the solo carrer

That may be why they played short and rocky setlist

LE

He suffered high temperature and humid?

[Love Expresso]

listening to Why Aye (audience, although i did buy the stick) and boy it is simply sooo good...

So, Pottel, you are obviously the first forumer that bought the stick? How is it? Are the encores on it or do you have to download them?
Therefore, anything to report about it?
