I heard a rumor  that Nigel was almost forced to cancel some upcoming shows ..

luckily it was al a rumor , but a chin close to reality. The final song would then have been replaced by " Boom Like That "

Last night I had a dream that they played Sultans as an encore. It seems that I have no skills to be a fortuneteller.

I am very sad    about Sultans not played. I do not understand    why Mark not played his best song that expected by all his fans that buy a concert ticket. I hope only that Mark is triyng to play sultans with Nigel like on every Street tour.......I hope

It was interesting to note that Nigel was about to leave the stage after the applause at end of SFA but kept asking MK 'do you want me to stay'? So it would seem like it was maybe not planned. Maybe MK was going to do his solo version becasue the rest of the band did not look like they were ready to play it until MK seemed to be giving them all the nod so to speak.

Normally when the band are waving at the crowd and waving and the stage lights come on and they are congratulating each orther then the show is over.

What It Is was an interersting opener being one of my fav songs of his yet left out completely from the set at Newcastle 3 years ago despite playing it at Glasgow the evenign before (we got Why Aye Man in its place I seem to remember).

It is one thing to drop songs/let them fade away from the itinerary completely but to restore them is quite another. What was also interesting was the songs that were not even included in sets during the tour of the realtive albums they came from.

First thought was how applicable 5.15am was to be played in Newcastle....
A mining song set in 'Geordieland'

Really cant wait 'til Tuesday...

I said I'd be disappointed if they didn't play Sultans - so I'm officially disappointed.  However,  R & J with the Dire Straits Sax intro, and the "proper" Going Home made up for it ! I thought it was a great show and as others have said, there is more dynamism in the band. Mark really seemed to be "up for it" at his home concert.

I spotted Ingrid & ( I think) Isaac & Jeroen, but I was "trapped in my seat" & did not want to disturb the rest of the row
to get out & say hello !
