not well done

imo the list should include only songs NEVER played in any MK tour since 1996

a lot of songs shouldn't be in the list

It does seem a bit pointless to have HFB there when it will most likely be played anyway and is a wasted vote.  Crows, Marbletown and some others too.

All my votes were on DS songs that were rarely played even during the DS days.  ;)
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

Not an easy task, indeed. Harder will be the dream coming true.

Mmmm, and I voted for HFB. One of my all time favs, despite it has been played lately

HFB was such a big surprise for me when I first heard it live! So it is OK by me!  :wave

yes but this was intended to request 1 new song, the most voted or at MK choice one of the 3 most voted

it doesn't make sense to request a song they always play

HFB was played at both of the concerts I attended this fall, unlike KOG and YTC which were rotated, so I think it is a good bet it will be on the setlist this time around too. Of course, we could all vote for HFB and report back to Guy our results and then when MK actually plays it, we can feel like he listened to us! ;)

And while we are on the topic of requests, this has been bothering me since I attended MK's concerts this fall. He said in both concerts I attended "Ah yes, the bequests." At first, I thought I had heard it wrong since he is such a master of the English language. But then, I heard it again clearly at the second concert. Well, if MK  begins to honor bequests rather than requests, then I am the first to put my order in for R & J.  ;D

Really it was this? Then I'm sorry, I didn't understand correctly. :smack I thought it was just as the poll stated, "What songs would you LOVE to hear?"  8) And if no one voted for HFB and MK decided to let it off the table because he thought the fans didn't like it?  ???

But if it doesn't make sense to vote for HFB, let's take it out of the poll ;)

Sad for me, I won't be able to listen to whatever he plays, not a chance to go to Europe or the US this time.

Thanks for your feedback!  I was a bit torn up over the choices for the poll.  There was probably enough of a need for two separate polls (never-played, and our dream songs, regardless if played before).  Let's see how this works, and one option is to take the winnning choices and re-poll with a more narrow selection.  At that point, we can also identify the never-played, and see if that makes a difference.  In the meantime, please vote, if you haven't already.

Fine thinking!  ;D  I can do without R&J though.

Nababo don't worry a bit. You thought correctly. jbaent came up with this fine idea later on  this thread, so it was more like an idea of "use it, since you have it". After all it is statistics and we can cook the results, anyway we please.  ;D

"all I do is keep the beat, the bad company" - click :thumbsup That's what he's got to get back into R&J to liven it back up a bit.  Play it a tad faster and with more powerful vocals too.  I was listening to Boston 23.04.01 last night and that version sounded so great compared to recent ones.  Chicago 05.05.01 is great too, the outro solo on that one is superb.

Actually, I was wondering. From bob, with his gazillion shows under his belt, we know exactly which song was played, during which show etc..., I mean, it is awesome, do we not have someone on board that has the time to do a similar thing? Jeroen's site could be a starting point for the SETLIST details....anyone?
