Mark at VW release last night (15th April)

Walk Of Life with sax... Never a fan witnessed that. And never will, thats only for those who pays a lot of money to pay the tour expenses.

Kinda glad I never heard it with sax, honestly.

But then again, I liked the cajunized version with Geraint Watkins best of them all.

Most likely VW made them such an offer, that was hard to refuse.

I don't think that YLT was such a big hit so I doubt that someone at VW really wanted them to play it. Must have been a die-hard fan, then.
Would have made more sense for them to "demand" MFN or BIA.
So maybe MK himself wanted to play YLT...?

I think they just did it so Nig wasn't twiddling his thumbs.

Leaves me wondering how many private gigs there are we don't know about, and what songs were played...  Private Investigations? On Every Street? Tunnel of Love? Water of Love? Don't even want to think about it

My humble opinion: I don't like VW and I don't like private (corporate) gigs. But if it helps to subsidise the tour or the studio one has to live with it, I'd say. As a compromise the management could offer a soundboard audio recording from these gigs for a small fee.

I do think there is a line or two about that in the contract which say they can't unfortunately..

Nail on head.

Perhaps he's even finally retired MFN from the corporate gigs now?

I think you're right.

Still the golden oldie, a retired seducer.

In the Netherlands it was and it is often heard on different radio stations.....

They were there in Hannover as well.

Seems like there is no sax in SOS.
And is that Dave Bronze on bass again?

He still got it though! I hope just not for a certain price tag

Also during the MK and friends concerts, MK played Your Latest Trick, that I never heard live, except the day I attended the concert, that day he choosed Baloney Again instead, that I've heard too many times already... The Straits played also Your Latest Tricks for me.

I attended all 4 2002 gigs and IMHO Baloney Again was a better choice, although not as popular as YLT.

Despite the eight  shows attended in 2001 I had no memories of a really great 2001 live version.
In 2005 I managed to get it in A'dam or R'dam and though "not good".

But I really enjoyed the 2002 version with great first solo from Robbie before Mark took over him.

Regarding YLT I had never been fond of it, MK in Beaulieu had a sore throat so the best one was probably on the opening night. But honestly I have no memory of it. For me the highlight of these 2002 shows were BA and WYM.

Same setlist for Hannover?

Strangle feeling.

Mark as a VW car's seller.

Should have preformed that one :

Don't you get it I don't want to buy your car
Don't you get it I don't want to buy it
Don't you get it I don't want to buy your car
Don't you get it I don't want to buy your car
