Ah, I just read it, too!  Not my favourite song but nice to know it was played again!!

Setlist same as london but anislo i/o gl/m. Fantastic show

[jimbobaby]

Hmm, don't think ANISLA works live.  Would be disappointed not to hear GL or even Monteleone for that one.  Looks like the "rockier" setlist with CMG and WAM gets played at standing venues.  Makes sense I suppose.

I will post a detailed review later, but i sware taht the word disapppointed will not be part of it

[herlock]

Here is my review.
As promised, I won't bother you with the details on how difficult it was to get there - let's focus on the show itself.
I was there with three ladies (my wife and two friends). We were at row 9 in the floor of this huge venue (12,000 seats, full house), meaning that we were very close from the stage. The band came just after 9.00pm. They all looked very fresh, smiling and cheering. Mark greeted the crowd with a

[Love Expresso]

Thank you very much! Best review so far in my opinion, every word really to the point. Liked your sentence "Mark had done it again

[dustyvalentino]

Nice to have a Simfy recording of "A Night..." though.

Now we are just missing Remembrance Day, Going Home and Wild Theme.

... and "Our Shangri-La".
Actually we have nice versions of these, except for "Remembrance day" - not sure it will be played outside the US though.
OSL: great version on the RLRR DVD/CD with Emmylou
Wild theme: On the night DVD/ SoS compilation CD / Passalong 2005 recordings
Going Home: Alchemy, A night in London

I would be more interested in:
-The resurrection of Postcards from Paraguay, the only missing highlight from the 2008 tour
-So Far from The Clyde, which was rehearsed according to Guy... any hope ?

Seems like Paris could make the "must have" list.....

Secondary Waltz from 08 as well. In fact, although I don't really like the song I wouldn't mind having a soundboard of True Love Will Never Fade, just for JM's cittern intro.

thanks for your very nice review!

Herlock - Thank you for your wonderful review!    Your thoughts about the set-list et al completely reiterated exactly how I felt at my first concert in Dublin, namely that what he plays doesn't matter one jot!   It is all swept away by the excitement of being close to MK and the amazing music that is being played before us!  He truly is magic!
