About On Every Street

I think that a Saxophone would have sounded better and more dynamic on On Every Street, or he could have tried it with Richard Benett on the pedal steel why not, but not sure he has the skills for this song.

Talking with a friend about this topic, we had two different opinions. By one side, songs like "Bacon Roll" must be too British for the US and maybe would be replaced by another song, if we are lucky, one new for this tour, but probably just a returning encore. In the other hand, the lack of interesting changes would suggest that there is nothing new happening and that this is it until the last show.

What do you think?

Vote, please!

How can a song be too British? there are many songs that are deeply connected to one country or another that I like, if people don't understand the lyrics they will find out the meaning. That is one of the great things about Mark's lyrics. I was born in England, and there are certain Scottish words in his lyrics I had never heard before. Look at Tunnel of Love, very much about the area around Newcastle, but people all over the world love it. I have never understood the idea of releasing two different versions of the Sailing to Philadelphia album, the international version with One More Matinee and the US version with Do America!! People all over the world loved Sultans of Swing, a song about a dixie band in a London pub too.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

Wasn't it a soprano sax that Graeme Blevins played?    :think

I meant an Alto Sax which would make him play differently I guess.

I think it's fine the way it is, however this is one song I think Nigel did better.  I kind of miss his happy presence on the front of the stage.  Imagine both Nigel and Danny together... ;D ;D

Funnily enough we watched some videos from 2015 and I have to say how good Nigel was..... Not against Graham but Nigel bought a bit extra to the stage....

Nice! I'd personally love to hear 'Occupation Blues' Live again having heard it played at Chalke Valley......

Surely OSAAT has to feature sometime do we think??

I'd love to hear "Good On You Son" as opener and "One Song At A Time" to replace Postcards from Paraguay.
BIA should defenitely stay in.
If she was an Ace and I was just a Jack, and the cards were never seen, we could have been King and Queen.

I truly expect El Macho to be played. With Danny on percussion and Tommy on trumpet, that would be the heaven where the tyne meet the delta...
You might get lucky, now and then

I would love to hear some more songs from the new album. But to be honest i don’t think it’s going to happen. Somehow i have a feeling WOL will be back. Was it not rehearsed during soundcheck in italy?
Anyway, no big changes i think....

Looking back there were no changes at concerts in the US.

Not true, last tour he was playing Telegraph Road and switched to On Every Street for the first time since the '93 tour in the US.
