Concert # 04:2013.04.30, Kombank Arena, Belgrade, RS # SPOILER AHEAD #

[Dutchessy]

I've finally decided to follow the setlists and now there is no live setlist

Finally decided? Were you intending to not look at setlists at all before the shows you`re attending? Ambitious

Yes, that was my plan. My first of 5 shows is on 11 may. But mission failed Tension was too high...

I'm passing the time watching The Champions League on TV with the laptop on my lap awaiting the set list.  Guess what - no goals!

Hehe, well at least you lasted for 3 shows

Real Madrid have 1 goal to get in 2 mins + injury time or they are out.  Exciting stuff!

Edit:  They're out...and they know they are!

Even the DS concerts were "only" around 2 hours.  The only exception was the GH tour and that was probably due to all the film music played which gave Mark a bit of a break.  Take away all that film rubbish and even these concerts were about 2 hours as well.  In fact only the early ones in Ireland and the Vaison one were really long.  London 23rd May e.g. was pretty standard length.

Are you sure about only 2 hours? I was for example at the DS concert in Rotterdam on 30 may in 1992. As far as I can remember he started exactly at 20:00 and the show ended around 23:15. The same was with the GH tour, when they also played for more then 3 hours and played 22 songs.

Are you maybe including the opening act?  From Elvis to Wild Theme was approx. 2 hrs. on the bootlegs.

[Love Expresso]

It was printed on the tickets in 1992 because of opening act Was Not Was that "Dire Straits will perform a full 2 hour set". Cannot believe he ever played three hours in his whole career.

I saw them in '91 and there was no opening act.  Can't recall the length of the gig though.  Memory isn't that good!

I also saw Mark in '96 and it was an early one (just before Val, I think 5th May Edinburgh) so that would probably have been a long one too.  I don't recall an intermission though.

Good night!!

Speaking of Cannibals...


Lay down your head now don't get out of bed
Don't you let the bedbugs bite
It's time to go to sleep now not another peep
And I'll see you in the morning light
