A look through some of the YouTube clips reveals an excellent show including this very nice R&J with excellent outro solo (watch Danny giving an approving nod at the end):

Beautiful!   It's up there with two of my favourite R&Js from this tour - Milan and Verona!

Wow, lovely version

Went to this last night. I've been purposely avoiding this forum and Guy's so as to have as much surprise as possible, but I have been reading Guy's tour diary. So I knew Once Upon a Time in the West was coming, and I had seen somethy somewhere about MFN being played again, and those were really the only "surprises" in the set, and I already knew about them 😐.

I did notice in a pic in Guy's diary that Silvertown was in the set, and since this is maybe my favorite song in Mark's solo catalog, I was pumped to hear it. Of course, he didn't play it. I found some clips of it from earlier in the tour this morning on YouTube, and really can't see why they dropped it. 🤷‍♂️

The show was well played, though, better than the Tracker show I attended. Having the two horns and Danny adds something. The middle of the set really drags however: Bacon Roll, Matchstick Man,  Bonaparte, Heart Full of Holes, and YLT in a row! And no Silvertown, no So Far Away, no BIA, no Sultans, no Telegraph Road, no anything anyone wants to hear.

Yeah, that middle section completely doesn't make sense to me. I get that "rock n roll" isn't Mark's thing anymore, but this is just too sedate.

Agree totally with this.  Especially as the band intro is now seemingly taking almost 10 minutes!!!

I actually don't mind the middle part of the set, in fact I really enjoy all of those songs mentioned, BUT, there is far too much talking and I have removed most of it from my downloads!

I love that part of the set. Actually thats the kind of concerts from MK I'd like to see in the future. Small venue and his more intimate stuff. Something like Boothbay concert.

Totally agree with this. I have really enjoyed the smaller intimate gigs with The Master in the past...

In fact, I hope this is the direction MK's musical career will take in the coming years.
