No doubts. Best Sultans of Swing in last seven years. Faster, inspired, and aparently without guitar's errors.



thanks for the link. Yes I think last year's YTC & KOG solo's, sparked something in MK's playing again.

"This is Irish Boy. It's a very old song." - "It's not from Privateering?" - "No no, it's very old..."   :wave

One of the things that will never end up on an official mp3 stick...

This "Irish Boy"  could be my absolute favourite of the tour. I am not sure if Mike has ever contributed better stuff to Mark's music since he is on board... the sound of what he plays is so clear, loud and nice, I love it.

Hey herlock,

you are officially allowed to call me strange, but I like the way TR is played now. To me, it adds some kind of tension.

What makes the song different to me compared with other tours is in the way he sings it. Unfortunately he seems to been influenced by Dylan in a bad way. He just puts the words out like he

Some enjoyable notes: (Hope you like it.)

- Show started twenty minutes late than it was supposed to. Whenever a random guy stepped into stage for some modification of instruments, people were applausing.

- Mark didn't interact with the audience. He only yelled: "Is everyone okay out there?" and after he's done with What It Is, he said :"It's great to be here in this beautiful town twice".

- When he was just about to start the new song, a random guy shouted as hell in Turkish, it was so loud, I guess everyone in the venue may have heard of him. He said: "You are the man, Mark!" (But in a funny way of saying in Turkish)

- While singing SFA, he put Istanbul in lyrics : "Here I am again in Istanbul town!"

- When it's finally over, Mark left his giutar and everyone was shouting like: "Stop! Mark!, Don't go! (In Turkish), Nooo!,"

- After the party is over, everyone left the venue and it was so crowded outside, a guy was playing SOS in his car so loud that everyone was clapping for him.

His vocal range is way too small. But on TR he  hits "all the way" with a hasky voice! Fantastic! I really don't get his first part lacking the elecctric guitar parts???
And how come he is playing with a cord and not a cordless connection in his guitar?
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

He plays with cable (or plugged-in) since the 1996 tour (again). Cordless connections were usual during BIA and OES tour at least.

Maybe the frequency is too close to that of the in-ear thingy's. ???  Or the police waveband! ;D
