NON MK/DS tracks played at MK/DS concerts...

[peterromer]

Hi
I just mentioned in another thread that DS once in 1992 in Denmark played "Singing In The Rain" (Gene Kelly) because of the heavy rain, or rather Mk himself in the break between the sessions, and then I thought - what have you experinced of NON DS/MK tracks played live at an either DS or MK concert ??

If "Ol

[Banjo99uk]

Everyone will know this but the obvious one is waltzing matilda in sydney 86.

Special guest appearances I guess, ie with Dylan, Raised Up Family with James Taylor and the like.

Of course there are little references too - Jim Cox playing stuff like "You Really Got Me" on his "rock" accordian, and MK himself used to hide little licks in Calling Elvis like On Broadway and Born Free.

Dire Straits played "Nadine" (Chuck Berry) live between 1978-1979, also in a benefic show in 1989, and then with The Notting Hillbillies several times.

Also "Alone and Forsaken" and "Lost on the river" with Emmylou Harris in Nashville 2001, both Hank williams songs, that they also recorded together for a Hank Williams tribute record.

Also Dire Straits (at least Alan Clark) played "Lili Marlene" in several 1980-1981 shows before Les Boys

Stop in the name of love too.

On some versions of "Calling Elvis", especially NHB - "On Broadway".

Riders on the Storm in Tunnel of Love too among many, many other tunes.  Also Tulips from Amsterdam in Leiden '85; the happy birthday tune in Manchester 09.12.85 for Jack Sonni; Cocaine when EC joined them at the Hammersmith Odeon in December '85; All Along The Watchtower, Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat, License To Kill and Knockin' On Heaven's Door in Melbourne 19.02.86; the German national anthem in Berlin '85 and Scotland the Brave in Edinburgh 31.12.85.

In which concert that happened?

In a Paris 1985 (the one in which Sting was a guest in MFN) they played the famous Can Can song

[dustyvalentino]

Ah, I can't remember, in that little instrumental bit before the start. Just a little bit of the melody. MK is often so subtle about these things that you don't notice.

[dustyvalentino]

Of course the Day Tripper riff on Industrial Disease too.

[dmg]

Of course Bonnie, Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond before/during What It Is.

[Love Expresso]

"Stop in the Name of Love" was f.e. played at Wembley Arena in 1985, June 10th. Go to 2:15 and from there on you will hear it. But better listen to it completely!
