Will he play SOS way on downsouth London town?? 
I wonder about the setlist with Ruth and Nigel at the band. I supose that Going Home will be back again.

[cannibals]

Very nice setlist only one song missing but were not having that discussion again.......
Again, a good setlist 

I agree that's a pity that Mark still refuse to perform TOL. 20 years that I am waiting for.

Joker 
But okay, only 2 songs missing than

I will go to bed and fantasise now...

[Pottel]

i guess all of our assumptions about mark not playing SoS are wrong.
and we will most probably never find out. so may as well stop questioning it and focus on the other songs in the coming shows.

[rosco]

If he doesn't play Sultans in Glasgow somebody is likely to jump the stage and give him a Glasgow kiss!

I'll be surprised if Sultans isn't played in Glasgow, If not, that crowd will let him know their feelings pretty quick.

[herlock]

Sultans mmmm

another 3-4 shows and Telegraph will be out too

replaced by The fish and The bird

Nooooooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[straitsway75]

Mark is continuing in his solo project, which delimit as much as possible his past, now in a lineup of sixteen songs are only 3 of his old band, the one that made ??him famous all over the world. I will hold as long as the best of his production is that of the first 15 years, I also really like his solo work, but it does not seem totally supplant straits song like sultans of swing  , his very masterfull piece in absolute with telegraph road    , to play haul away    or corned beef city

And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings............................well we may never know

[man on a track]

Many managers retire around 50 and enjoy their millions sailing or golfing or gardening and forget the companies that made them big and rich.

Mark still plays for us.
He plays what pleases him and what fits his age in whatever way he may consider.
He does not want all the dIRE sTRAITS masses to come back to see him.

I wonder how all the moaners here will perform when they're about to turn 64...

just my (next) 2 cents


PS1: yes, I miss SOS, and no, I don't.
I'm not fed up of any song, but:
I love to see Mark play with plesaure, grinning and dreaming away.
PS2: I'm not going to see the straits, I rather listen to my cds
PS3: nice review, Superval
Was lovely to meet you again
