Any songs you skip?

[dustyvalentino]

You know, I love Ticket to Heaven, but when I listened to it again recently, it struck me that the first couple of lines don't bear any relation to the rest of the song ("I can see what you're trying to find..." etc).

I feel the same way about the first few lines of True Love Will Never Fade, make no sense with the rest of the song.

I have the same feeling about TLwnF.  Just listened to TtH, well, I really wanna hear more acoustic guitar part, the same thing happens when I listen to Iron Hand.

Must Agree with BBB on R&J and Pottel on the album version of PI, although I thought some of the live performances of it were ok. The R&J outro has so impressed me over the years that I made a compilation CD called "You and Me Babe how about it?" which contained what I thought were the best outros to this song from every tour up until 2006.

YOU & ME BABE HOW ABOUT IT?

1. 1980 Boston
2. 1981 Wiesbaden
3. 1982 Birmingham

5. 1985 Houston
6. 1986 Sydney
7. 1988 London Mandella

7. 2006 Verona
 


Various venues from 1980 to 2006

Additional comments:
An interesting look at the live version outro's for the very popular Dire Straits (Mark Knopfler) song "Romeo & Juliet. Titled "YOU & ME BABE HOW ABOUT IT?", this compilation is mainly audience recordings but with a couple of soundboards.The sound quality of the recordings including their volumes are different from concert to concert. It's interesting to hear the evoloution of this outro from year to year, including, other band members inputs. From Alan Clark's piano in the early 80's to Terry White's Sax in the mid 80's and Paul Franklin's Pedal steel in the last DS concerts then Guy Fletchers haunting keyboards through the 90's and Richard Bennetts great guitar work of the late 90's and 00's all add to the "live" experience. The Verona version has a slight glitch in the outro - but how could we not include this City in a song about Julio and Julietta. Available on 1 CD. Artwork included.

I have just been reading some old posts, is there are chance this list can be updated to the present day?

tough luck, no skippers here 

[rmarques821]

Just a Boy Away From Home. From the first moment I listened to it, I knew it would be a skipper. I probably listened to it only once and never again.

These days it's quicker to list the songs I don't skip!

Ah! I remember that old chestnut. I still skip the newer versions to hear the outro first!
An updated version would benefit from a higher % of Soundboard versions. Maybe we can poll those interested to shortlist their favorite versions since 2006?
Here is the artwork.

after the beanstalk

Typo on Wiesbaden

[superval99]

Heavy Up

[Pottel]

romeo (excl. outro, indeed) most of KTGC, Why Worry, Love over gold and Private I. live, shangri la, submariner, seattle, all slow songs with little or no guitar, boring as eff.

[KnopfleRick]

Just a Boy Away From Home. From the first moment I listened to it, I knew it would be a skipper. I probably listened to it only once and never again.

I love that song! 
When it comes to DTRW CD the song I always skip is "Rear View Mirror", and very often "Nobody Does That" (though this song has grown on me a little).
The brass instruments are too much for me. A little saxophone now and then is ok.
I really hope that Mark will not use these instruments too much when he is thinking about a new album.

I really disliked "Just a Boy" when I first heard it, especially the end solo, but now I can just about tolerate it without reaching for the skip button.   To be honest, I have never liked "You'll ever Walk Alone" either, not even in the movie!     "Heavy Up" is a different matter - I have given up trying!

Hi there, maybe it's not this topic but it somehow correlates with it. Does anybody of you know, has "Hand in Hand" been ever played live during DS, MK or NH shows? Or was it always a "skipper" for Mark? Regards

Hey Pottel, we share the love for The Long Highway but I disagree with you on Love Over Gold. It's a beast of a song, criminally underrated in my view.
