Setting me up as a solo tune?  Maybe....but i suspect wild west end would suit the current touring style more....

Hearing down to the waterline would be a very nice addition to the setlist.....chucked in to revamp some of the mid set dull-ness....

[Stanko]

more likely, it would be a haul away to end the doldrums!
(just quoting) lol
i wouldn't mind though!

Water Of Love - a good example of the Golden Heart tour. Definitely better than in the first years of the DS

I think that six blade knife, wild west end and lions could suit his current style (at least musically)

he also played the eastbound train riff at a TV show some years ago

Lyrically, I think SBK and WWE don't suit Mark well these days, SBK because it is too dark/sinister and WWE because it's very much a "young man's song". Lions could fit as it is an observation-type song. Would be wonderful to hear it again. The mood and atmosphere Lions creates/describes feel so real. Such an underrated/underplayed song.

I can foresee Setting Me Up with nice duels between MK guitar, McCusker fiddle, McGoldrick flute and Richard lap steel

Couldn't disagree more.  Very boring and repetitive licks.  Poor vocal by comparison to early versions too.  Different tastes I suppose.

I must admit I am not an expert regarding lyrics which are not in my language.
of course I understand the overwhole meaning/subject of the song but that's all

I was thinking more about the musical mood : regardding Mark's current musical style, I think that if he had to play some old songs, he should choose some "quiet" ones, with that JJ Cale groove
songs like news, follow me home, six balde knife, ballads like wild west end etc...
and I agree that setting me up could also fit his bluegrass/country style
but definitively, he shouldn't take uptempo songs like waterline, lady writer, angel of mercy, single handed sailor, or...tunnel of love. it's obviously not his musical style anymore

I agree with your points.

Lady Writer would be...interesting.

I would like to hear the Water of Love. The 1996 version has a beautiful climate

Unless he does what Clapton has done to Layla a couple of times and changes the song's dynamics, chords and so on. I think that could work with Angel of Mercy or Down to the Waterline.

Also the original demo of Setting Me Up was very different to the final cut.

Never noticed before that MK acts regularly in "Modern Family"
