"This song is about........ four minutes long."

Broken Bones was the worst opener ever.  What possessed them?  The crowd are in and all excited to see what we've got so we'll open with the slowest, dull song where we just strum our instruments and put them to sleep.  Madness.

And in 2019 they almost did the same joke with Nobody Does That.

Goes to show how subjective all music is!
I’m not mad keen on it on the album but I think it’s a terrific opener and I genuinely nearly posted on this thread saying as much before the other comments.

Builds excitement, nice and lively, powerful drums. I’d really love to see a close up of how Richard does that solo. It just looks like he’s strumming chords for it

I think BB is a pretty good opener, but Mark doesn't sing it with the energy needed to do it justice. Imagine if he sung it the way he sang In the Gallery.

Border Reiver was the best opener for his solo tours. WAM and WII not bad either!

Agreed. I remember I loved BR when I first heard it released as a single. Such breath of fresh air after the very low-key KTGC. Unfortunately the rest of Get Lucky didn't match BR ... But BR is a really nice track. A Knopfler classic.

Mark has never sung with any energy since the BIA tour!

BR was great.  I also liked WAM and DP.  I never thought WII sounded or worked as well live as it did on the album.
