Walk of Life is proving a popular choice, I like the video too, the band members are having a great time. Interestingly, I watch reaction videos of DS and MK on YouTube, and Walk of Life always gets a lot of love from people hearing it for the 1st time.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

WOL, like you say seems a popular choice personally I much prefer the BIA Tour versions to the 'Album' version and absolutely love MK's Tele sounding so good and it literally 'rides' over all the other instruments!!

"Our Shangri-La" might be the happiest song MK ever wrote, apart from The Ragpicker's Dream. And the live recording... Oh my Gosh! 20 million views and that's for a seemingly "boring" song.

Interesting. For me, The Ragpicker's Dream is very reflective and sad.
I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home

Yes, Our Shangri-la is indeed a very "happy" song and that 2006 version is absolutely gorgeous -- great piano playing by Matt.

Shangri-La is one of my all-time favourite songs and the 2006 version is just beautiful as the whole concert was brilliantly.  I've seen them live. It was such a thrill for me.
I think Matt Rollings was Mark's best piano player. He has a special touch, very sensitive. Outstanding version of Romeo and Juliet at this tour.
This is all the heaven we've got, right here where we are in our Shangri-La.

But according to Guy, Jim is the best musicians he’s ever worked with-possibly in the world.

That would have been fun to have been in the studio watching them all play it…..if it was played together of course.
