No Tour with the new album.

[Matchstickman]

I thought Once Upon a Time in the West was poor in 2019.  I was so pleased it had made it back into the set but they never built upon the potential.  The song relied too much on the brass instruments and just went nowhere at the end with absolutely zero energy.  I also hated the tone of Mark's Les Paul on this song.

Disagreed  The mariachi trumpet was a nice touch and a nod to the spaghetthi western that inspired the song. And it featured Mark's best playing of the tour, in my view.

Another fan of OUATITW here. Loved the LP and the horns.

Wasn’t so bothered about Silvertown but I’ve never rated that song.

Silvertown Blues was THE for me.

I regret that it was dropped so early in the tour besause I could only get it two times I think (Barcelona and one of the two UK gig I attended).
After that it was definitively gone out for the gigs I was at.

Without it, the night was not the same.

OUATITW was another highlight for me.

Silvertown blues is the thing which made me sad. I was super excited when it was played in Barcelona, but unfortunately I was not lucky to hear it in those concerts, which I attended. But it was indeed fantastic to hear OUATITW for the first time live, because it was still great with MK 2019 style.

Each to their own my friend but the horns absolutely murdered not only OUATITW but the whole show in my opinion. I agree the LP sounded amazing though...

As for SB - wow!!!

BIG fan of Once Upon A Time In The West in 2019. Great hybrid of the Communique ond the Alchemy versions. Great Les Paul from MK, nice bass, cool horns and outstanding rhythm guitar from Richard.

[Darling Pretty]

Absolutely agree here.

But: This really would have been the Chance to revive Ride across the River. With all those horns
And of course: Played on a Les Paul. Missed Chance

Having all these great horns and not playing Metroland was also another opportunity missed. It would have suited his playing style at that time extremely well.

Too hard to sing, I'm afraid. As with a lot of other songs, I'm pretty sure "5"15 a.m." was dropped because of this.

I disagree. STP and PFP should've been much harder.

Are you sure? And it was 11 (ELEVEN) years ago!

Sorry. I meant compared to Metroland.

Philadelphia and Paraguay have some backing vocals to hide behind, so easier to perform. In Metroland, there is no place to hide, you need to deliver this melody, emotionally and with a pretty wide melody, almost crooner-style. I honestly can barely imagine even mid-50s MK tackling this song, let alone 2019 MK. If only he was a "proper" singer.

My point is his vocals simply must be a very big wall that stopped him from performing a lot of songs live, as an artist with this magnitude of back catalogue omitted there should be a simple explanation. "Lights Of Taormina" is also a song, the absence of which in tours, including shows, well, in Taormina itself can be rationally explained with his voice.

[Matchstickman]

I think that the explanation is far simpler: many songs, like Metroland and Ride Across the River, have most likely not been considered whatsoever.
