Setlists from this tour included a number of new songs from the album, such as "Redbud Tree", "Haul Away", "Privateering", "Miss You Blues", "Corned Beef City", "Yon Two Crows", and "I Used to Could".

Knopfler's tour lineup included Mark Knopfler (guitar, vocals), Richard Bennett (guitar), Guy Fletcher (keyboards), Jim Cox (piano, organ, accordion), Michael McGoldrick (whistles, uilleann pipes), John McCusker (violin, cittern), Glenn Worf (bass), and Ian Thomas (drums).
