    Hannover concert May 9

    Hello,

    I just came fome from the wonderfull Hannover concert this evening.

    But there was one little disappointment for me: In "Sultans of Swing" Mark did not play the first verse solo after the words "...the sultans play creole". He stepped immediatly to the words of the verse "And then the man he steps right up to the microphone".

    Did anybody here this anywhere else?

    Nevertheless it was fantastic, he played the same list as usual. He did not play "Daddy´s gone to Knoxville", but he played "Our Shangri-La".

    Best regards,

    Hans Günter

    Hello,

    I want to bring this up again to sensibilize the audience for the future shows. I checked again my audio recording from Hannover, May 9: Mark skipped the first solos in "Sultans" and in "What it is"! Did anybody noticed that before?

    Regards, Hans Günter

    The first solo of "what it is" has been skipped now, but I have just been listening to "Sultans" from Oberhausen and Stuttgart and the solo is definitely not missing at those shows.  Maybe it was a one-off.
