boring repetative set lists

He really is a perfectionist, to the point of playing basically identical solos every night. Static sets help that process. Downside is its not as exciting for us hardcore fans. Upside is that he doesn't have "off nights", like someone else we could mention...

OK I was just having some fun with you. It is obvious that 'Bob being Bob' in regards to fanatically guarding his privacy and space was a bother to some, so I was just wanting to point out that 'Mark being Mark' was also an ongoing phenomena and that it appears to be accepted by most here.

Mmmm, "Mark being Mark" is very, very, VERY positive to the fans because despite the grumpy man he could be in his private life or jelous about his privacy, we know about it and we respect that. Because of that, MK shows himself as a very humble human being when you have the chance to say hello to him, and thats really great for us. The two times I have Mark in front of me, I was the happier man of the world, not only because of "Mark in front of me" but also because the kind and lovely man he was.

As a sidenote to this..I don't think that anyone here could have possibly predicted that Mark would omit both SOS and R&J off of the setlists. As guy said on his forum..Mark wanted to change things up a bit.

I agree.   I think this is the first time since R & J was first performed that it hasn't been played in concert, except for NHB concerts, of course.  I felt sure both of these would be played.

I am encouraging myself by thinking about the fuller MK shows that I can hopefully catch in 2012.

Didn't someone on this forum present some statistics from the last MK tour that show that he change things around quite a lot more than we tend to think? And that he changed more than 20 % of the songs from the K2GC tour to the GL tour? I remember I was pleased by that the facts were posted here, because I was a bit tired of what I considered as boring and a bit unfair moaning.

Very true. It is a very valuable attribute of any MK show that it fulfills very high performance standards night after night. The worst MK shows I attended were still great musical experiences, objectively spoken. We are very spoiled with Mark's perfectionism and work ethic.

ROFL Arabia!  

Yup, Bob is Bob and that is why I am not a fan of Bob!

Mark is Mark and that is why I am a fan and admire him for his music and the person he is!

Yeah, I really thought the set would be DS heavy. To have no DS at all in Dublin was pretty incredible.

As someone on ER pointed out, pretty funny that people over there expected MK to be playing the hits and Bob to be playing rare stuff, but the opposite happened.
