Awesome night. I did record the soundcheck from outside the venue. When I have time I will share. Temp. was really hot in the venue! MK and band were on fire. Ianto stood up in the band intro and rised up his arms which was extremely funny, Glenn was laughing loud and we also! One of the many great moments. Thanks all:-)
Mark was also laughing out loud during that moment.
We saw the Range Rovers arriving at 16.30. We were standing there with only 5 people and they waved at us while driving through the gate into the hall but no stopping or coming outside 
We (Holaknopfler & I) did hear and recorded the soundcheck very good outside the venue.

What a great show again! Very loud but good sound. Good solo's on Speedway and Telegraph Road! After TR we run to the front and I was standing right in front of Mark at the very front with Ingrid! 
After the show a cold beer in Zwolle city with some fans 
Before the show a dinner with some fans. A pleasure to meet a lot of amit buddies there.
Now home and going to bed. Will post some video's tomorrow. Some great video's to come

It was indeed a GREAT concert, from the five concerts I saw between 2008 and tonight this was definately the best of them ! Concert started about 20.15 ... I found it VERY annoying to see that lots of peope were still coming in at 20.10 .. c'mon, how difficult can it be to be at your seat on time (that is before 20.00 !)
As said above the concert was really great with Mark and the band in great form. Sound was better than I expected, but as said by someone else, very loud ... perhaps a bit too loud even (at least from where I was sitting on the 1st row on the tribune). Mark's voice was a bit burried during the first 2 songs, but when he started the little speech before Privateering that was sorted out and from then on his voice was crystal clear.
* What It Is: Best performance of this song for me so far (after 2001, 2008 and 2010). Better (faster) pacing and great guitar playing.
* Corned Beef City: Great rocking song. Impressive drum intro by Ian Thomas (with fantastic lightning effect coming from behind Ian)
* Privateering: Not one of my favorite songs, but it's a nice 'live' tune and I did in fact enjoyed Mark's playing on the accoustic guitar very much.
* Father and Son: Impressive, short but sweet. Almost expecting 'Golden Heart' to follow this tune, but the coupling with Hill Farmer's Blues is brilliantly done and works just as good.
* Hill Farmer's Blues: Great playing. End solo not as exciting as 2010, but more like the 2008 versions.
* I Dug Up A Diamond: First time hearing this song live and really loved it. I like the reggea feel it has now compared to 2006 and Mark's playing was brilliantly and really gave me goosebumps.
* I Used To Could: Like CBC a great rocking song with some nice guitar playing from Mark. They obviously have a lot of fun playing this one. Jim Cox on piano was amazing.
* Romeo and Juliet: Beautiful intro by Jim and Guy. Great version with a end solo that gave me goosebumps also.
* Gator Blood: A few seconds of slight dissapointment for not getting Sultans, but what a great song this is. Mark's playing was very impressive on this song (in my opinion) and the audience clearly loved the song.
* Haul Away: Not one of my favorites from the album and also live it won't be a favorite. Beautiful played by the band though !
* Postcards from Paraguay: Brilliant how they start the song while Mark introduces everyone (and yes, Ian Thomas was fun to see at this point). Mark's guitar is lower in the mix than in 2008 and I actually prefer those versions (except for the intro !).
* Marbletown: I loved the (shorter) 2008 versions. In it's current incarnation Marbletown is musically impressive, but for me it's a bit too long for my taste nowadays.
* Speedway At Nazareth: A song that never was one of my favorites (not that I disliked it), but since the current tour it's slowly getting up higher in the ranks. Tonights version was outstanding with great guitar playing from Mark (I know, I keep saying that lol). Great lightning effects during the song.
* Telegraph Road: A firm favorite of mine. Great playing from Jim on piano and also a short but very good end solo from Mark. This solo was better than 2008/2010 combined in my opinion !!
* So Far Away: Is it just my imagination or is this song also a bit faster paced during the current tour ? Again the best version for me so far and although I sometimes tend to skip it on cd's it keeps being a great song to hear live !
* Piper To The End: Had hoped for Going Home, but that slight disapoinment was swept away with an awsome (and again faster paced) version which had, correct me if I'm wrong, more guitar playing than the 2010 versions.
This was my only concert this tour and I'm glad I went ... although spending a total of 6,5 hours in public transportation isn't fun it was worth every minute and euro payed. First time for me hearing Jim Cox live and although Matt was great also I prefer Jim. Ian Thomas is a great addition to the band and personally I prefer his drumming on most songs compared to Danny. I really feel that this is the best band since '96 with some great energy floating around.
