From Twitter:

@ceedweeb: Really enjoyin Mark Knopfler, lots of super musically interesting new material. A little Dire Straits. Now I'm wondering #whataboutBob?


@simzy: Mark Knopfler bringing it. Classic Dire Straits. Dylan has a hard act to follow





 

[Pottel]

Also read there: wasting incredible guitar talent on country music..
Or something along that line, kinda describes it IMHO...

I'm really disgusted with the people on ER!   Not even a mention of MK's set-list!

I refuse to look at that forum because they seem to think BD is the messiah, which is just ridiculous. Also didnt someone over there call MK a homophobe during their last tour together because of the MFN lyrics. Knobhead. Rant over, setlist please.

Thanks for the picture.
So MK joins Bob on stage since the first show. 
The best news so far !

Thanks very much.  So a few new ones then but pretty much similar to the London shows.  Just as expected.

No Speedway!

Marblebore AGAIN!

WII and SFA as bookends again!

[superval99]

Many thanks Binone - I like the set list!  7 out of 13 songs from the new album is great!   

[superval99]

I don't think Jim and Ian can manage it like Matt and Danny could!   

I like Marbletown!   

[dannyjun]

I agree, Val, I like 7 new songs there. There were only two (and sometimes three) new songs in many GL 2010 "full" shows!

I like Marbletown!   

What!  Jim's solo's on Speedway were inspired and different every night!  Matt was just a robot, playing exactly the same night after night imo.  Jim sounds a really talented guy in a totally different class to Matt, i think anyway.

Don't know about Marbletown as a song to end a concert though.  Also, how many proper solo's is there in this gig?  One or possibly two:  WII and HFB.  Maybe the new songs have some?

[superval99]

I feel exactly the opposite!   Jim completely ruined the outro of Speedway with his very intrusive piano!    Also I don't like STP with Jim - Matt's playing was far better, much more conversation with MK.   

Marbletown didn't end the concert - SFA did.

I respect your opinion Val, no matter how wrong it may be!

[superval99]

I think we should feel very happy that there are SEVEN songs from the new album!   Imagine if you were a BD fan - he only played ONE from his album!      No wonder they are not mentioning MK's setlist this morning!
