In Defense of My 'Masoaka Tanga' Honor (heehee)

[63falcon]

Ok, here is my Churchill Downs show set list, compiled in scrawl in conference w/ the man & wife right behind me (she had grown up in N Va and had seen The Guys back in day).

-Message in a Bottle
-Synchronicity 2
-Vioces in My Head/When World is Running Down, med.
-Don't Stand So Close to Me
-Driven to Tears/Masoaka Tanga, medly (this was one of the jazzier jams, and there was about 30-45 sec.'s on the M T, the bass line to M T slid into the instrumental part of Driven and Mr Sting even did a couple "uh oh oh oh"'s), and THEN it slid back into Driven to the close (this part was added at abt. 2pm EST, was in a rush during my Lunch, sorry, when I posted this)
-Truth Hits Everybody
-Bed's Too Big W/out You (jazzy drawn out)
-Every Little Thing She Does (OMG! Fabulous!)
-Wrapped Aroud Your Finger

Now I'm gonna have to dig it out and play it to get me some of those "Uh oh oh oh's"

I should note that my skepticism is based on that fact that the boys showed very little spontaneity or unpredictablity on Tourzilla, especially during the early shows. The only instance that really sticks out in my mind is when they played a part of Dead End Job during SC's birthday in Cleveland.

Anyone know of any other examples?

There were a few people hearing Deathwish teased at some of the later shows, but I didn't hear it, but then again I missed the KK tease at the soundcheck in Denver, too...so <grin>

[TheEqualizer]

I think what some people characterized as a Deathwish tease was the way Stewart began playing ELTSDIM for the last few shows. I don't this was really a Deathwish tease as much as SC doing something different that was sort of "Deathwish"-ish (or maybe Deathwish-esque). But that's just me.

Random tangent: I would LOVE to see/hear (Special) Anthony pound Masoko Tanga out, just an idea (don't think he's done that one yet on video?)...<grin>

I'm with you on this.

I'm pretty sure I remember this, too, Falcon - a measure or two of MT - but it's possible reasonable ppl. may disagree as far as what they were playing. I did have pretty good seats that night - fifth or so row, FWIW - damn, the encore outtro was good at that show.

:sigh:

[Pre-Legacy A152]

Just listened to the micro from SDF again, as Driven ends, there is the bit as it end that I dont think
they used to do at the ending back in the 80's (that soon became a little sing-along portion at the 07-08 gigs)
where String sings "Doo doo -whop, doo doo whop, doo doo whop.." as Andy is vamping in between with
solid chords all in a rhythm similar to Masoko Tanga but that is a SERIOUS matter of interpretation
to call THAT M.T., in my humble opinion...
If I ever get the time to learn how to get the micro's onto a CD, I should send a copy to Brother Dietmar to see
what he thinks- Right now Im struggling to stay employed like a lot of other folks are these days...!
