What an anticlimax!  ??? All that excitement about a new song and its, wait for it, the fish and the yawn.  An ok song on te album as far as it goes, but, as others have said, the album is very much a mood thing.  Live, this song is a excuse to go to the loo or buy a beer.  Yawn.  It also de,mands very little playing on MK's part.  I know this band is brilliant, but I'd like to hear a bit more of MK please.

Worst? I'm getting a feeling that i don't like to post anymore or read it on amit. Only complaing to mark. I'll better go away if it goes on like this..

I'm with lars on this. Don't worry (or rather do worry!!  ;D), I have no intention of stopping to post or read but sometimes, it gets sooo negative. Mostly the comments on the setlist are from people who weren't even there! WHo was there last night, what do YOU think of the fish and the brd? How was it? I bet you loved it!

I know on the "other forum" you couldn't say anything that was slightly negative without your post being edited and that's not good at all, but sometimes it feels like we're are falling into the other extreme here and it's sooo boring. Life is too short to be moaning about things like this me thinks.

Yours faithfully- The President of all things positive.   ;D

A few points:

First of all it's already been said but I was going to say it too: what an anitclimax.
Secondly, I personally only make criticism of MK or any of him music here among good like-minded folk such as yourself so this is my only opportunity to get anything off my chest.  I never criticise him anywhere else and still think that even his worst is far better than anything else in the charts today.
Third, and back to the real topic here, maybe a new arrangement for Fish?

I do love the pipes, so fish and chips could become a great one.

Seems they're only doing it to give Mike more to do.  They've given him more in Speedway, played WAM every chance they get and given him a lot to do in that and also A Night In Summer all just to accommodate him.  His presence in the band is starting to annoy me.  He's a great musician and probably a very nice guy but like John done in 2008, Mike is now taking over in 2010.

The reason I didn't go this year was a combination of the dates just not fitting with my travelling/holiday commitments and the fact that, having seen MK 30 odd times, I had a feeling that the set list would be formulaic. Had the set list shown some much needed variation I would have moved heaven and earth to be there.  Now, I have purchased several of the SImfy recordings.  They are excellent and I am really enjoying listening to MK and his excellent band.  But, I am sorry, I come on this forum because we are allowed to praise and criticise in equal measure.  The music as played on this tour is brilliant, but the setlist /running order is pretty much what it has been for the last decade and, for me, that falls short of what I'd like. Notwithstanding the fact that I wasn't there last night, I don't think it is rocket science to imagine what TFATB would have sounded like - after all I heard it several time on the last tour - and it is a dull song that, to me adds nothing to the overall vibe of this setlist and, in fact detracts considerably from the mood set by either GL or even the new version of DG which it has replaced. This band has practiced TMTS and OES so why not throw one of them in just for a bit of variety and to cheer us up.

So.  Sorry if you think I am being negative.  I have been pretty positive about lots of things on this tour and still regard MK as a living legend whose music I have played just about every day.  But he doesn't get everything right .  

Sorry too if you find reasoned criticism "soooooboring" but I bet its more interesting than just reading review after review that says everything is brilliant when it isn't.  If this was just an arselickers forum I wouldn't bother coming on.  The fact that we can all say what we are feeling is what makes it interesting.

Personal opinion : to bad that "Get Lucky" was remplaced by "Fish & Bird"

MK set list is like going to casino.

this is a free forum. nothing bad has been said in this thread at all. let's notget over sensitive.
if you are affected by certain more negative coments, then avoid that particular thread. if you want sunshine and love and peace and no one ever says one negative word (about MK) and no setlist info, there is always the MKnews site.
any Knopfler, Floyd or Dylan will do....

exactly, a free forum, this is why one can moan about the set list but it also means that one can moan about the moaners. and of course, you are entitled to moan about my moaning about the moaners, and I will moan about your moaning about... eeerrr, I've lost track  ;D.

The problem with the negative comments is that they pop up where you least expect them too! I was doing what you suggested and ignore the negative comments (or rather moan to myself about them) but when I saw Lars's  moan about the moaners, I thought I'd let him know he was not on his own.
