I actually think that "Radio City Serenade" is one of the most beautiful tracks that MK had written...

That piano entry with the horns sound from the bay, the sax and trumpet intro, a haunting melody and lyrics, that great little part at the end when a strings sections appears playing the main melody together with the sax and trumpet...

That's the kind of stuff by MK that I love the most. Actually, that's the reason why Privateering wasn't a record I liked when it came out, it mixed such beautiful songs with boring blues... Funnily, it's a record I love nowadays, even with that blues songs on it!

Yes it's a wonderful album.
I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home

My first guess is If This Is Goodbye. Think about how fitting that would be. Bonnie can sing with it. Its in New York. Last show of the likely last tour.

Second would be Our Shangri La, which personally, I am praying for in LA.

Last, and far less likely, would be Back On The Dancefloor, but I can't see them practicing something so complex for one show.

If they don't play Dancefloor Guy is leaving so Guy may have been pleading with Mark for that one! :lol

I agree, Radio City Serenade is lovely, one of my favorites as well. I still don't like Privateering all that much minus a few songs, maybe the rest will grow on me

Yes i remember that post from Guy  :lol you can remind him after MSG about leaving the band, don't think they will play it... Doesn't fit the brass really when listening to album version... Same with trapper, probably why it's been skipped as well as OSAAT.. they should focus more on MK than the backing brass guys.. OSAAT was obvious in my pre-tour setlist..

Actually they can play "Trapper Man" with Bonnie Raitt, the song has brass arrangements, but they are very low in the mix, and also have chorus with female vocals ... and we know they had rehearsed that song for the tour.

What about I Dug Up A Diamond? He played that one in 2013, could be a great guitar duet during the outro.

I dug up a diamond is a great song but if we are looking for something meant to close the show I don't think it would be fitting.

Wherever I go maybe?

Saw an answer to a question regarding TR being permanently dropped. Guy said it was because the Pensa "sounded awful"...

How awful? I think the soundboards from Spain sound good, to all of you who heard TR in Spain/Portugal, what's your opinion? I really hoped to hear it this tour and was a bit sad when it was dropped.

On the contrary, I didn't find it surprising. He probably had a little wry smile while writing it ;D
