Some really interesting shots there.  Love the one that says "Richard, Nigel Hitchcock and Mark run a familiar tune."  Reading between the lines here, I'd immediately think Sultans. :think
As much as I would love it, I don't think so.
In the 2002 London charity gigs, Chris was there. He played sax on R&J, Going Home, Why Aye Man, and Your Latest Trick (of course) but not on Sultans.
In the 2012 London Range Rover gigs, Nigel was there. He played sax on R&J, Going Home, Walk of Live (can't imagine what it sounds like, even though I don't care that much) and STP (can't imagine how it sounds like and I DO care), but not on Sultans.

So it seems that even when a sax is present the long sax break in Sultans is not in Mark's mind.
Maybe they will play WAM in Europe more than WII and with sax again.

Anyway, funny that Guy said a few years back "Sax is gone, for the better" and that Sax is here again ! can't wait for the setlist and the arrangements. Please, set list posters, post w/Sax next to the title so that we know ! :)

Perhaps only the ones at London where MK will have special guests. What about Jhon Isley as  a special guest in London  :o

Argh... so much disappointed hope... :(
It also means that the impact of sax will not be drastic, otherwise the whole show architecture would have to change, which is unlikely with MK.
I guess UK people will have the priviledge to hear again sax on R&J and Going Home... maybe a few others like STP and WAM... hope no WOL...

...and stayed...and stayed...  Now we can't get rid! :smack ;D

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I thought we all knew.  Wasn't it in a post earlier in the thread, or was it in another thread? 

You'll just have to get a ticket for Glasgow Herlock - still some left according to MK.com!

I bet for Going home.

Richard played electric (LP) on going home too :

STP already ruined with flute since 2008. Can't be worse than that, so why not sax on it?

2005 remains definitive version to my ears with Guy keys on it - just perfect.
The only way to make it sound better could be a real pedal steel - and I am not certain of that as you can't exaggerate perfection.

Richard writes in todays Notes From The Road that there are some nice surprises in the set. I hope he is right :)
