Songs we don't want to hear on the next tour ...

[junkie_doll]

for me ...

- done with bonaparte (not the "fixing your bike" joke again ...)
- so far away (so many other dire straits songs ...)
- song for sonny liston (good song, but not for big arenas)
- donegan's gone
- sailing to phili
- why aye man
- what it is

[dmg]

I would agree with your list, with the exception of Why Aye Man and replace it with Marbletown.  It would be better if he would banish the whistle from WAM though, because the best versions are 2008 and earlier.  Chesterfield Caf

Bonaparte, So far away and Telegraph for me...

Sorry about Telegraph, but the citterns taking the MK guitar parts makes it boring to me, its not TR anymore

This is MK solo version. The other one was too much Dire Straits sounding 

[dmg]

If he keeps TR he must go back to pre 2008 style.  Also, I'd like to see him click his fingers during R&J again!  Haven't seen him do that since 2001.  It just adds that little bit extra and always gets a little cheer from the audience.

it would be extremely fine with me if MK just revamped the setlist by 100%

100% new songs

Wow - bold move!  Can't see MK doing that somehow (or not the one I know)!   I think you'll have to settle for a little less than 100%.

[Pottel]

Fully agree with most of the above. But pls do not make Romeo return, so many other straits songs!?,

[ds1984]

Romeo being his declared favourite song from the DS era it may be the last one to remain in the set.

Judging with the performances from recent tours he seems a bit fed up with it to me.  That and BIA.

[Hophead]

"Telegraph Road" needs to go..hate to see it go...but it's not what it used to be..a shadow of what was once a fantastic song. Take it out and you make room for at least two more songs. And "So far away" should be 'so far gone'...waaaay past it's prime.

But R&J, and SOS are songs that represent milestones in people's lives like what MK always mentions, they need to remain in the set.   

Song for sonny, marble town, SFA, TR, and Daddy gone to Knoxville need to go.  WAM, and Speedway should stay. 

[vgonis]

Part 1 must be the new songs and part 2 a whole DS album, say Communique, 35 years anniversary!    That will satisfy everybody. Really who needs R&J, when you can have Follow me home and WDYTYG and OUATITW and well, the whole album really.

35 years anniversary of recording in december 2013...but for release anniversary you'll have to wait until june 2014

[vgonis]

Well we can have the first album then.    If you want to celebrate you can always invent an anniversary!

No Song for Sonny, no Donegan, no SFA

Fine by me if TR, SOS, R&J, WAM leave the set too.

Speedway: only when Danny returns, otherwise it's not the real Speedway anymore.
