Show duration ?
« on: May 08, 2019, 09:41:37 AM »
Hi everyone,

I'd like to know the approximate duration of the show. Also, does it usually starts on time ? I'm going to see MK in Zurich with a friend and we're trying to assert whether we can catch the last train home. We got an email from the organizer saying there won't be an opening act, but no indication about the show duration / end time.

Thanks a lot in advance,

P.

2.5 hrs seems the norm for the current show...

Which is great for a 69 year old.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

And usually, that’s my experience, shows always start app. 15 minute late. No problem for me though, but if you’re depending on public transport, it’s good to take into account!

How long were the concerts on the Brothers In Arms tours? I don't have that information, but if you use the album version length as a guide, the concert would be about 93 minutes, I know the songs were extended live though so that time is not accurate, does anyone know? just for a comparison to this tour's set list length.

I cannot confirm that I'm afraid. I experienced that MK almost always starts sharp at the given time, in Germany usually at 20:00. I would not be too sure about the 15 min delay.

Thank you all very much for your answers! Looks like we'll be able to go by train!
