I don't generally trust anything going on at the MK fans worldwide group in Facebook but I'll just drop this here (in attachment):

It sounds kind of familiar to me but I'm not sure what it was...

Pretty sure there's so much happening in the "back office" that I won't be surprised if there was a number of DS reunions for people with money or friends. Remember this mysterious bank gig in the US tour? With no recordings and all. Also, all these car-releated shows. So they could have played anywhere, anytime.

Interesting, I overlooked it by that time it seems. Is it also clear where that concert actually took place?

And those private sets of "hits" only i.e. DS only material stink if you ask me. Kind of undermine the whole "looking ahead" argument, which appears can be varied if a banker or car manufacturer offer a load of cash

Totally.  We pay our money so why can't we get the songs we want?  We are the true fans who go to gigs every tour, yet he plays what he wants and gives us virtually the same songs every tour!

Exactly, what I meant was that gig.

Exactly again. I love the realistic look at things and always laugh when people idolize someone just because he's a cool guy. No, there's big money involved, making music is a full-time job for Mark and of course we can and should judge the outcome of that. And the setlist too!
