Can't agree with any gripes personally - I'm too into the experience of watching the master to even think about anything like that.
Make the most of seeing him while you can because dare I say it one day...... :disbelief

This song may replace Sultans live on stage.

I find TR annoying because I am not listening to the song but am too concerned about timing the 'run' to stage and the route (unless in the 1st row).  Afraid of going too early - was stranded in an aisle once - or too late to get front of stage position.

What in Bremen really disappointed me was infact the same songs as last tour.
The complete last 45 minutes. And that is a lot from 2 hours.
I was standing in second row before our Master and he started again So far away.
I only  :disbelief and went backwards again. I never do such things. After that I sold my ticket for Bad Mergentheim.
But bought LE's Ticket for Cologne instead. hooops  ;D

Anyway I love Romeo now because then it is Pee & Beer time and you have ten minutes for that.  :P ;)

The Bass Sound is very awful. It always sounds like Pulp. not clear. When you hear those nice Live Mixes instead, wow
The sound could also be a bit louder...

When some people want to film oder photograph: Be careful of the master's finger again. hehehe
For the rest: I enjoy the concerts very much. without handy or photo camera.
I am thankful that Mark is still touring. After a tour is over I hope he makes another one.
and 2015 he does...

Exactly the same here. 1991 was my very first meeting with Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler. Standing only at the arena, it was an unbelievable experience - the curtain alone that opened with a BANG! and Calling Elvis started is something I will never forget..

It seems me shared some concerts without knowing it...

Oh yeah. The wait outside. Then inside seemed to never end.
We only knew I will start with Elvis, but that is was a hell of an Elvis nobod told us.
Lights off, only on the curtains and then: BANG. The Pedal Steel and Pensa killed us...
I was just flashed.
Yes btw I was in Hamburg 1992 and 2006

In the absence of Mark coming to Australia again, Paul Simon & Sting are performing together this Feb here. Going to have to check it out I think :)
Hey, i`ve got a truffle dog - finally a song the ordinary man can relate too!
