Ha, ha!  Think and hope are two entirely different things, I'm afraid!

Think:
   
Border Reiver
Corned Beef
What it is
Privateering
Kingdom of Gold/Crows
Hill Farmer's Blues
Romeo and Juliet
Sultans of Swing
Done with Bonaparte
Marbletown
Speedway at Nazareth
Telegraph Road
Brothers in Arms
So Far Away
Piper to the End

There are changes if you look hard!!!

Very nice set above, but I would be extremely pleased if he left Marbletown alone this time;  10 minutes wasted with a 3 minute song IMO.

You nailed it!

[cannibals]

Indeed but a good song for introduction of the band also DWB is often used for that...

He could still play Marbletown, but this time the album version for a change, if he's short of time!

I'd be happy with that!  It's quite a good song for 3m30s, but for over 10m it gets boring for me personally.  I think it's just used as a showcase for some other band members - and it shows.  Gets to the point they're just milking it and the little song is stretched beyond breaking point.

Sorry Cannibals and Superval - Please no more DWB or Marbletown......

This year, my brother is accompanying us to the Liverpool gig and he's never seen either DS or MK live before.  His favourites are TR and BIA and I know he would love to see those songs played live.  I think it's different for us who go to multiple concerts and hear certain songs every tour, but there are lots and lots of people, just like my brother, who would think it fantastic.   MK has to cater for those people too!

Lucky him, he has good chances to get both.

[schmonka]

Agreed - You and Your Friend with Richard Bennet on the lap steel would be nice.....better if it was Paul Franklin....but he isnt on tour this time....

[dmg]

Man's Too Strong is okay but doesn't really get me excited.  Now Y&YF is another prospect altogether...

I long for PONO too.

Border Reiver
Corned Beef
What it is
Privateering
Yon Two Crows/Kingdom
Hill Farmer's Blues
Romeo and Juliet
Sultans of Swing
Y&YF/Fade to Black/When it Comes to You
Planet of NO
Speedway at Nazareth
Tunnel of Love
Money For Nothing
Brothers in Arms
Piper to the End

A few places for variation in the set there so they don't get bored.

[holaknopfler]

Y&YF is a really great song. I think it fits MK even more these days! The danger is that there will be a lot of folky folky I'm afraid.. Mike, John etc
