Small setlist, played by request. The tour set list expresses his own will. Seems questionable but I quite understand.  When you agree for a job you take requests, when you do it for you you set the list. If I photograph a wedding, I will take photos that the couple requests on site. When I do nude, landscape street or whatever I set the rules.
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

We had a nude wedding
There was a preacher and a neighbor or two
I gave my golden thing a gold wedding ring
Then the both of us said 'no'

 :hmm :hmm :hmm ;D

Hi

i respect that Mark doesnt want to play sultans anymore. But i hate the fact, that if he gets enough money for some private gig he will play it. and looks like he still enjoy playing it..

No nude weddings so far! How tempting!  :) I would probably take so many photos that I would cover any request! Nudists however are seeing things quite differently, so probably there would be limits.

Greek weddings etiquette: nude is not allowed, to break dishes is mandatory
And trying to get back on track, I hope MK never to be booked to a nude gig!

I still dont like Mk doing private shows for money, it doesn't fit with the image I have of Mk.

So if he is offered big money to reunite Ds he will say no, money can't buy me, but if its for a private Mk concert playing the Ds songs, its an ok, no problem.

Dont like it. But Hes free to do what he wants, he earned that right.

Sold out.  If you want the good songs you've got to be a millionaire VIP. >:(

A band without Mike and McCusker - YES!!!

Disagree!  :disbelief    The band without Mike and John would be much the poorer!   So many songs would be lifeless without them.

I understand your comments about playing hits for money. However, I think that Mark did the gig because the time was right, kind of rehersal for the tour but of course some Dire Straits songs (supposing that there were not that many Knopfler fans in the audience). And, of course it is nice to get some money from that kind of event (to cover expenses of so called nowadays luxury tour life).
