I say NO to both.
WOL simply because it is the worst song MK ever made.
MFN because although it is a great song, I'm sure I would be disappointed comparing today's version with the awesome Montserrat version with Clapton.

I'd say yes to MFN if it's up to the 2005 standard. At the Hurlingham gig in 2009 MK did play it very well but the overall sound wasn't very good.
It's difficult to judge the Range Rover version as the recording is terrible, which makes the band sound like a bad teenage garage band.

Best version of MFN ever was during the STP tour when he started the whole thing with the bluesy National bottleneck intro and Mike Henderson did a stunning part with bottleneck to his Silvertone.

That was absolutely stunning! And I'd love to hear that one again!

Yes to MFN although I don't miss it too much. I still had fun with that one in 2005.

But definitve no no for WOL - can't stand it anymore unless EC join to add some blistering guitar licks.

Absolutely, totally agree. That intro was fantastic. LOVED the build-up and then the band kicked in!
Oh please no WOL unless it's played at its original speed again!! It has become a schlager song lately. He can have Howard Carpendale sing it!

Mark can play for three hours like Bruce Springsteen!!

On Springsteen's current tour, 3 hours would be a relatively short show. In Helsinki he did 4 hours PLUS a 30 minute acoustic set. Can't see Mark doing 4 and a half hours! But if he went back to 2.5 hours I'd be happy.

Yes this "calypso" intro was gorgeous.
But for the main song nothing can beat Montserrat...

Uhmmm, do you know what calypso sounds like?  ;D

I can tell you that blues ain't exactly played on oil drums regularly  ;)

WOL may not be popular amongst the fans, but it sure is a LOT of fun to play rhythm guitar too.
Hey, i`ve got a truffle dog - finally a song the ordinary man can relate too!
