Great set 
Just STP out and OSAAT in 

YLT out and OSAAT in more like!!

[Knopflerfan]

I really love STP this tour.

Yes.  Really well played and the sax interplay sounds great on the coda. 

The set just goes from bad to worse with the removal of Silvertown though, and if he thinks the massively overplayed BIA is going to fix it it ain't because it sounds bad now.  Back in '85 it had power and he sang it well, now it just sounds so slow, lethargic and his weary vocal is feeble.

Absolute tosh dmg, BIA will forever be an anthem......

There is so much complaining on this forum these days, it makes me sad.   MK's saying this is his very last tour, and people are struggling to cope with the setlist??  He's playing more than an hour, he's got a great band, let him do what he wants and let's all just enjoy the songs - that's how I feel.   

However, it's also cool that we're all talking and able to share how we feel without anyone feeling like they CAN'T say what's on their mind.   I'm sure we all have songs we'd like to hear for these last concerts.   I'd love to hear TOL again, and I DEFINITELY agree with everyone here about OSAAT (just because the lyrics are so personal), and I would even love it if DSMI would replace Pyroman as the tour surprise.  Is Don't Suck Me In popular enough to be DSMI yet?  LOL

As BIA has resurfaced, I will always remember being right in front of 'The Master' at the RAH in 2013 when he belted out BIA and took a few photos....

[dmg]

Woopee-doo!  He's never played BIA for years. [sarcasm mode]. 

And no he hasn't played TR for years either [Mega Sarcasm mode!!!]

It's not a case of "because I want TR" but that any setlist needs a climax.  TR fulfils that role perfectly just as ToL did (and he disappoints me there too btw).  Speedway doesn't do it, especially in it's stripped-down format with brass helping him out on the final solo now.  There is no monumental, epic song to make the audience jump to their feet and gasp now.  The set doesn't work properly without a real climax.  That is the reason it should be reinstated. 

BIA is a pale imitation (no pun intended) of the live versions of the BIA tour (and others) and the sooner it is laid to rest the better.

It bothers me that foma/quizzy has dropped some of his epic complaining and it has been replaced with dmg's. It's fine that there is some variation in the complaining, i guess, but what about the fans who haven't heard a good foma whinge for ages? Anyway, it is still a pretty good line up of whinging generally, and, as it is the last tour, I'm going to just sit back and enjoy every last whine.

[Pottel]

Stream dead, but in good news we're only missing CBC!

That's what happens when it depends on good faith of generous fans doing their best for free with the nowadays 4g connection...

instead of the band/management. such an easy business opportunity for them. jeez...

[Knopflerfan]

100% disagree with all you have said I'm afraid dmg..

I think seeing and hearing MK live full stop is enough in itself and I'm really excited about my two forthcoming shows. To be honest I'm not sure why you are bothering to go to any concerts as they are clearly not up to your expectations and standard.
As for BIA that is a classic that just has to be played, and although you may not like it, some of us do along with other tunes in the set list...

Now please try and make some more positive posts about what you are hearing as quite frankly its getting boring reading what you don't like.....

[Pottel]

Yes I give up.. always appreciate efforts but this stream is S--T!

any fan doing his best getting us anything out of those steel and concrete bunkers, should be hailed like a half-god, not this comment!
will you be streaming any of the shows you are going to go to?

I don't know about everyone else here but it bothers me what sort of legacy my man leaves behind on his final tour - this is why I am very much bothered about the setlist and so much want him to showcase his talent.  I want people to leave the show thinking highly of my man and not thinking highly of the band he has beside him and that he didn't play Sultans, he didn't play TR, he didn't play ToL...  This bothers me.  Does nobody else care about this or is it just me?  I'm getting ticked off from people in here because I care about the very person we're all supposed to be on here for and it seems nobody else is bothered what he hell he does!

Yes, I agree with Mr Pottel here, be thankful that people are making the effort to stream......

exactly do that, ya'll enjoy whatever parts you enjoy and moan/let the others moan, all they want, we are a free forum. as long as no hate/racism or the like is used, they can continue, we are not the MK ass-licking-forum, but the mark fan forum, and we have the right to not like certain things.

agree, he could "give" us so much more (not that he owes us anything, do not get me wrong, but why keep all the goodies locked away?

You answered your own question. We are here because of what he does, not what we want him to do. Simple.

nah, be honest, you would also want him to do other things every now and then, add some spice. mix things up a bit etc.
i am a lifelong fan, love most of the stuff he does, but also i do not entirely like the current state of affairs. yes there is some great stuff, let us NOT forget he brought back OUATITW, but,...he has sooooooo effing much more to do that kind of stuff....
