I'll take a toilet break when Long Highway comes on I think!

Replace Mike with PF!  Less folk/celtic, more country!

Hi,

It's still my little dream to hear " Are We In Trouble Now ". The outro solo is one of the best made by Mark ever. The outro of " Submariner " makes me think very much about that masterpiece from the GH record.

About the Straits songs, I must say that I only would miss two songs next year if he quit them.
It's " Sultans " and " Brothers In Arms "

These two songs and then solo stuff at the rest. That's could be a perfect concert for me

Agree with Are we in Trouble Now, agree with Submariner, don't agree with SOS and BIA.
If he would skip them and replace them for some new songs or rarely played songs it's fine by me.

Hope to hear Follow the Ribbon as last song. Perfect ending I think.

Would love to hear that too Jeroen, but did he ever play bonussongs?

+1 although on the live versions I heard so far the solo is not as good as the studio one.
AWITN is in my top 3 of MK favourite song (other ones being Silvertown and HFB) and Top 5 including the DS era.
I dream to hear one day the raw studio version without fade out.

So many requests for Long Highway.  Everyone's against me!

Long Highway is one of the best songs he has written in his solo career you should know!!!

Just returned from a short break in our holiday home in Cornwall.
How spooky or what but on Monday (Day of Release) we (Mrs Knopflerfan and I) both walked into an 'independant' record shop in Bude, Cornwall to purchase a '2 disc' edition because we couldn't wait until our return today to listen to the album, but anyway we literally walked in the door and 'Redbud tree' was playing on the store sound system!! I got talking to the owner and he too was an MK fan (Who isn't??)

So back to the thread after endlessly listening to the wonderful fresh feel album I will go for 'Corned Beef City' as an opener along with 'Redbud tree' with a longer 'MK Strat' solo. We both feel 'Dream of the Drowned submariner' should be the closing number as it like PTTE is very moving.... I am wondering if again Like Piper is there any link to MK's distant family there??

Gravy train, early on the tour in 96
Can't remember any others.dallas rg is not really a b-side...

Nada already performed as Dire Straits

[Love Expresso]

Nice! Thank you!

But what the heck has this horrible sax solo to do with this song? I like the 1996 live versions much more...

How happy have these people at Dublin been. I remember these shows took place BEFORE release date of OES, right? Mark seemed to give a damn about what's on the album and what's not. The set list of those first nights were really awesome...
