I was there last night. It's basically the same setlist (surprise, huh!). I am copying it from the Sugarland thread.

However, Mark and the band were fabulous... such a great mood.

Sugarland, Grand Prairie... I don't remember such funny names for cities in Europe

I live close to Grand Prairie (40 mins drive)... and I can tell you, this place is anything but a prairie

I was a bit busy last few weeks so couldn't pay much attention the to forum... so I apologize if this has been discussed before.

Unlike the beginning of the tour (Europe leg), Mark is not saying that it's time to retire. No goodbye. He said that he's old, but also he doesn't know what else he could do. Is there any clue, what might be the case? Will he continue to tour around?

[hunter]

I guess he just wants to leave all possibilities open.


But if his ageing process is continuing at the same pace as it has since the Tracker tour, I'm not sure I want to see him go on a big-scale world tour again. This way he can wind down with dignity and focus his attention on recording and maybe play some smaller shows now and then.

Well, it was a prairie when they named it, back before they covered it in concrete!

The interesting thing for me is "close" next to "40 mins drive"

In my book "40 mins drive" means "far from" 

Cultural difference.

In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, "40 minutes" can be the same as "10 miles".

In London that'll be less than 1 mile these days at rush-hour.
