Tour Dates

[Rollergirl]

I'm with Dusty on this one. It's tough but it's possible, although last time I only had 3 weeks to wait, this time it could be a lot longer....

I think it's cool that the US part is first. Then we don't have to pay the high season flight ticket prices. I guess Boston will be the first show...I was there in 2001 when James Taylor came on as a guest. That was a very hot day I can still remember...

[Hoops McCann]

Ah, I forgot about the element of surprise. I've never experienced an MK show before without knowing the setlist beforehand. Should be interesting.

[Waterline Man]

I dont get this thing about not knowing the setlist,it doesn't bother me that I know what the next song is going to be at a gig.As Ubhal said to me one time if MK was tuning his guitar he'd go to see him -  the setlist doesnt change for that does it .

I can't fathom how people who eat,drink & sleep MK (like we all do),log on daily / hourly to various websites to get a bit of new information will not look at new material on youtube or whatever for a few weeks after its played live just in case they get to know the setlist  

Anyone with me on this???

[dustyvalentino]

No. 

I can only speak for me, but it was a real thrill hearing the first few bars of Hillfarmer's Blues and Marbletown last year and a lightbulb going off in my head. Much better sitting there wondering what was next, instead of just thinking "OK, next we get Sultans."

you can speak for me too if you want Dusty.

I was one of the lucky ones who didn't have to wait at all, being there on the first night, but I know just how exciting it was not knowing the set-list and hearing HFB and Marbletown, which are my favourite songs from my favourite MK album!   I don't know how I will avoid hearing the set-list next time though, because we will have a fair time to wait!   

[dustyvalentino]

It's just going to take willpower Val. Checking this site and the tracket etc are daily occurences for me, but I'll just have to stop.

The only new thing this time is Facebook, I think I'll have to stop that as well as I have lots of friends on there who are MK fans and one of them might post a link to "Tunnel of Love, Mark Knopfler, Live Denver 2010". 

[Rollergirl]

Oh shit, facebook! I hadn't thought of that! My my, this is going to be tough!

[Pottel]

nah dusty, you know TOL will never be played again, ...man's too strong or camerado, live at Times Square 2010...now that is a totally different story

[ds1984]

Hi

Although I think Mark won't perform TOL on next tour, since HFB showed ANYTHING can happen - even an "Alan and John surprise appearence" on one night.

Me too I was there on the opening night in Dam and I could not believe it when the Richard and John played the first chords  - this song live was worth the price of the admission.

[Pottel]

that and knoxville...and paraguay, and devil baby...

[ds1984]

that and knoxville...and paraguay, and devil baby...

Of course (although Devil was the surprise for the second night)

Sorry Schmonka, but I just can't do without R & J - it's my very favourite MK song!  I know I can just play any of the versions from hundreds of shows I have downloaded, but they can never replace hearing it live, the same goes for SOS.   I love TR too, but that song could be replaced with some new songs, or older never or rarely played songs.
