LOL no.  Nor is Going Home!

But 3 out of 4 highlights are still from the DS catalogue, and one is even SFA.

So I have to admit that as a MK/DS die-hard fan I am bored with that one but for a casual listener it is still fun to get it.

R&J:

 

I think CW was overused, but NH is underused...

[ds1984]

Interestingly those who said that the DS days are over, when comes the time to get some sax back in the play Mark mostly use it the way it was done back then. So a MK show is still something spanning his back catalogue over the last 35 years. Just that there are some choice I strongly disagree regardless of the DS  or MK solo brand.

By the way I was not fond of R&J during the DS days.
GH with or without sax is great, Hamburg '96 recording is still my fave one (although the fist half is even better on ANIL but the second half is a bit too lite).

Very few DS or MK songs were recorded with sax on the album in the first place (only YLT, RATR, OES, PONO, In the Sky, Radio City Serenade I think). So these songs can be made sound great, with or without sax. Sax is an extra. Here Nigel is barely used... oh well.
This beeing said, Sultans with Sax was badass, I really love it and would like it to come back ! Live Aid, Wembley'85, Basel'92...

Yes agree, The reason is because the first half of the song is made for clean tone (on studio version it was even acoustic guitar : ovation) and 2nd half is made for driven tone (studio version was the red schecter, I guess on Mesaboogie).

in 83 and 85-86 and on ANIL, Mark chose the clean tone for the entire song
in 96 he chose the drive tone for the whole song, and in 97 and 2000, he even chose to play wild theme (nylon CA gison guitar on studio) on a cranked LP !

since 2008, he returned to the strat atht suits more to the intro, but he lost the powerfull tone for the outro.

a solution would be to play it on a strat, and then switch on a tube stompbox pedal for the 2nd part
