On the contrary, I'm very very satisfied with the setlist. But as you said earlier, it's very difficult to please all MK fans. In the Seattle post I just pointed out that the core remains the same and has been over the past years.

DWB is one of those in the base, but could easily get replaced with for example Portobello Belle, using the same settings.

Those tracks you're mentioning are fresh and highly welcome. I'm just reflecting about the choices... Wouldn't it be nice if MK put The man's too strong or Portobello Belle (or similar that has been either rehearsed or played since the solo tours began in -96) instead of DWB, for just once?

edit: duly note the "almost" in "almost the same"

Only two concerts gone so maybe there is still time for more songs.  I still pray for OES!

I know I'm being negative at times, but I stand for it 

I like the open minded atmosphere around here and that everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I'm feeling lots of excitement over the new fresh songs being played, rumours of the whole set being more uptempo (well maybe not BIA).. it would be quite fair to most of the fans for MK to let in some fresh air once and a while.

But as a friend of mine said the other day, the day he stops playing Sultans - that's it 

[Hoops McCann]

Personally, I'm just happy for the prospect of hearing Border Reiver, Coyote, and Cleaning My Gun live. You can't go to these shows and expect them not to play the usual hits.

Bonaparte again! Yeahhhhhhhhhh

One of Mark's best songs live, without a shadow of a doubt!

Also looking at that set list looks great!

Just think of all the Guitar lead MK will be playing with those songs (it's what most of us look forward to).
I just hope big time that MK has cranked up Sultans a little in pace, although I doubt it cos even Mark himself at the hurlingham gig said that he used to play it a little quicker!

Either way I'm so excited cos my mum is gonna get to see Mark live for the first time

I hope he doesn't drop Cleaning My Gun -- I think that song could really take off with an extended guitar solo.  I'm hoping

Hey Fordie, it is great to read that you can take your mom with you to a concert of Mark! I am sure she will enjoy it as much as we all do!

There are plenty in the list that I like.  It will be great to hear STP, Marbletown, TR.
The starters and enders are good and the filling in between is good -  So roll on RAH
If there are 3 or 4 that you love, a few more that you like -that's good enough for me

I am taking my mum with me to Oberhausen. It's the second time she joins me. Never joined me in DS time but now she likes it a lot

Hey Ingrid, it's great that you can take your mom with you too! 

She is a very nice lady and it was great to meet her, her friend and of course your partner in Norwich. I hope everything is alright with all of them.
Please say hello from me to them!   

Btw Thank you for posting the lists Ingrid and Jeroen, but..........let me ask a stupid question  ...how do I know which one is right??

Well, I'm doing all the US shows (together with Isaac). So I was yesterday at the Vancouver show and kept track of the set...
