''We have rehearsed 30+ songs and we aim to play them all.''

that's pretty interesting unless he is talking about 10 different versions of Done with Bonaparte

LOL!!!!!!!!

My message to Guy:
Hi Guy, Very disappointed is what most people say after seeing and hearing (some people) the steilst. Only song 4 is surprising. After both you and Richard talking about new songs and stuff we expected more. You can see it on amarkintime.org/forum Hope a lot will change in the setlist. All the best Ingrid 

His answer:
This disheartens me after an amazing first day Ingrid...Did you speak to anyone at the show? Did you go to the show? Patience dear. The set will reveal itself. GOD I didn't want to talk about the fucking set! aargh WHY would you even want to view the setlist on the net?

I will send him a private email tomorrow as announced earlier in this thread. To make a little more clear what I meant and to make clear that it's not only viewing setlists on internet. At least his answer isn't as sarcastic as the answer to Fran

Ingrid,
No offense intended at all, but as for me I don't support your initiative.
I have often been irritated by Guy, but on that one I completely understand his reaction.
Cheers anyway

Firstly, I love the setlist. Moreover, even if they are the same songs, every time they evoke different emotions.
By the way, when I go to hear a concert of Mozart or Beethoven I don't expect changes in the setlist but if the music is well performed I still can appreciate it

30 songs wow.Really pushed the boat out.
They played 16 tonight so that means only 14 different songs to be spread out over the rest of the tour.

Most of the tours have been like this,even in the DS days.
At a first glance this  looks like a very lazy set-list however probably 80-90% of fans only go to one show and a good majority of those on the back of DS years so he plays some oldies and some stuff from the new album, thing  is that he already played 4 of those new songs 2 years ago and there in no variety in the DS songs.The criticism is fair ,however the shows are always great whatever they are playing.Most of the shows are sold out or close to a sell out .
Go to the shows enjoy them and stop chasing what isn't out there.
I will follow the setlists so we can tick off the different songs but i won't be listening/watching  to any live footage until after the show I am going to at the RAH.

My 2 cents:

I am a bit puzzled and sad by the harshness of some of the comments.

I'm with you Herlock. I find the tone in this thread to be very discouraging. Perhaps it will be disheartening enough to Mark that he quits touring for good. Can't say I'd blame him.

Oh no, That's what I fear.     Sooner or later Mark will stop touring, so why don't we all enjoy it while we can.     There are a lot of us in NA who wish we could attend even one of the shows.

My 2 cents:

I am a bit puzzled and sad by the harshness of some of the comments. Ingrid, many, many thanks for posting the setlist in real time, this is very much appreciated, but why on earth do you want to write to Guy about disappointment ? He will not even be in his hotel room after the very first show of the tour, that he will have a message waiting already, from fans who did not even attend the show, to bash the tour right from start ?? Not very constructive IMHO.

Yes, this is not my #1 setlist; yes, I miss Border, Piper, and KOG in the same show as YTC.  Yes, the hell with Sony Liston, can't understand what Mark finds great about this "song"... But "total disaster" ? "offensive"? we have not even heard the show yet, and we already use such radical words ??

Am I the only one to be glad that the milestones from my youth are still there ? to be joyful to still have the "usual suspects", which are gems to me: SOS, TR, BIA, SAN, MT, HFB, WII ?

Some of you speak as if everybody had heard or attended last year's US shows... come on ! we are just a smal bunch of geeks ! for the great majority of people who attended tonight's show, there were SIX NEW SONGS FROM THE NEW ALBUM ! not exactly what  I would call a pale copy of the GL tour !!

So before I put ANY sort of judgment about tonight's show, I will wait until I hear it. Especially, I want to hear TR. I have high hopes: if Mark removed it from the Madrid show of the Super Deluxe Box, it was either to retire the song... or.... to improve it ! back to 2005 standards !

Com'on guys !! a little bit of optimism !

Cheers

MY GOD FOLKS!!

Why are you e-mailing Guy telling him that you are sad/angry/disappointed about last nights setlist?
Its a shame!!! Are you going to ruin everything?

It was the first night of 70!! shows!! The set-list will envolve as Guy answered!

Im in shock!! 

[JeroenvG]

Enough videos all over YouTube. Almost the complete set list. Very like the sound of going home.

Just do a search for : mark Knopfler Bucharest if you want to see it.

Honestly, I feel the same about what I read this morning!
I almost feel sorry for having revealed the setlist by reading all this!!

For the record:
THE OPENING SHOW WAS GREAT!!!
Looking forward to some more 

[Best Brown Baggies]

Completely agree with Ingrid!
1st thought on setlist? Same old, same old.
Am I disappointed? Yes.
Will it stop me from seeing Mark in future?
HELL NO!!!!!!!! ;-)
It's just such a familiar pattern.
So much expectation on varied setlist, but
Same old suspects.
So much expectation on Live DVD, but
Who knows? I doubt it!
I'll watch how the tour develops, & I'm sure
When it's my turn @ RAH, I'll still be thrilled,
because whatever Mark & the band play, will
always be played to perfection.

Cheers BBB

Last night when I read the setlist, to be honest, I was disappointed that we didn't see some more surprises, but realistically I am sure it was the perfect set of songs for the fans in Romania, who probably don't have the opportunity of seeing him play live as often as those of us on this forum.

I am happy that most of my favourites are still there, esp TR and Marbletown, but really I just feel so lucky to be able to see and hear him still playing in front of me, because it won't last for ever!   Enjoy Mark and the band whilst you can folks!
