I gave serious thought a few weeks ago to going to these two shows. A wiser head prevailed, although I'm regretting it already.
have to say I miss 'Gypsy Biker'. My favourite song on 'Magic' and it was sensational when played live.
I'm on the fence about this one so far...
Some faves - Night, Backstreets, Roulette, Janey, Because The Night - and some not so faves - Lonesome Day, HH, Waiting On A Sunny Day and Working On The Highway.
Totally agree about Gypsy Biker.
Love it live!
Toss in Long Walk Home and Devil's Arcade, too.
I've seen him 25 times. He's played 'Backstreets' at one of those shows.....Wembley Stadium in 1988. My 4th show. Cant believe I keep missing it ever since. The one I was so delighted to finally get on this tour was 'Sandy' though (down the years he hasnt played much of the first 2 albums in Europe). And getting 'Rosalita' back after 23 years (and on the same night) was a great thrill too.
'Because the Night' is THE song of the tour for me, however. I mean, its always been great live, but on this tour, he's let Nils do the solo, which just puts it on a different planet.
I can always live without dronealongs like Working On The Highway
