Songs never played live
« on: February 25, 2013, 09:02:02 PM »
What are the songs you'd love to hear live but that have never seen the stage so far?
Some of my favourites would be Punish the Monkey and Madame Geneva's, and of course Silvertown - what are yours?

Gator Blood, but they will ruin it for sure - smoother played with less energy.

Not necessarily.   Look what happened to HFB, Coyote and Yon Two Crows - all much better live!  Many more too.   :)

Maybe, but the mentioned songs are not from the rough side of the knopfler-ouvre and in my humble opinion the very well behaving band would ruin the song by cutting the roughness - the only one which elaborates this particularly stuff is song for sonny liston: i really enjoy the versions on the dylan-tour! Great drums but crying for even more freedom between the licks...

Well, there's loads of songs to choose from counting b-sides and I'll probably forget to list many of them:

Badges... (good shout El Macho)
Kingdom Come
Millionaire Blues
Silvertown
Punish the Monkey
So Far From the Clyde

I think to name any from Privateering is perhaps too soon as we might hear them on the upcoming tour.  However, I would like to hear from:

Bluebird
Submariner
Radio City
"...and I blew up the radio in pretty short order."
