I was making another mental exercise and I thought it would be funny to try to think about the preferences of people who are not like the average commenters in this forum. And I think that a MK show would be filled up only with DS songs. OK, maybe WII... It would be something like the 1992/3 tour, with minor changes.
My attempt is:

Calling Elvis
Walk of life
Heavy fuel
Romeo and Juliet
Sultans of swing
Private investigations
Your latest trick
The bug
Why worry
Money for Nothing
What it is
So far away
Tunnel of Love
Solid rock
Brothers in Arms
Love over gold, mind over matter

You can't believe anyone who likes Marbletown. ;)

So Hand In Hand's the third one then.

It looks like TOL and WDYTYAG are leading.  My 2 ultimate  songs  I dream to hear live :)  I mostly voted for DS songs.

I know I will sound like a fan,  ;D  but MM is a nearly perfect pop/rock record, that never grows old. Even Les Boys has its charm, and its placement there last on side two, is more like a wink, a joke for the ones that understand and a closing cabaret number. (For those that still hate it, the Yugoslavian edition omits it,  while resuffling the rest of the songs)  The rest are just fantastic. Hand in hand is one of the songs I like best  and I was wondering why it remains in the shadows.  I would also like to listen  Skateaway, but i guess like TOL, with its iconography  is more suitable for younger ages and perhaps that is why MK doesn't play them anymore. 
Just an idea: Even though DS and MK never really recorded a "concept" album, it would be an exceptional idea, now with the years closing and always having a reason for an anniversary, to play a whole album, or two. Wouldn't be great to hear the whole two first albums, even with new arrangements?
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

So when it comes about to send Guy a list of songs to maybe get one or two, is this the very little we have?

 :hmm

Pottel your idea is fine, but it takes too much time for research for just one person. And most of us here have only a fraction of your concert library. Do you have a database with what you have? I don't have. Maybe it would be better to start a thread and each one of us can contribute with what he/she has, always avoiding to list the already listed. As a nice reference we can even start with what Spanish city has.
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

I know what you mean Pottel and I too have a vast collection.  Whenever I need to find a particular track I just log on to Jeroens' site and look it up.  His wonderful site is a database for so many of us I'm sure.  I only have a list of my bootlegs that I have archived onto CD, but no track lists.
