Now we are 21 years older than I was when I attended my first MTX concert (MTX = The Mr. T Experience). To celebrate the occasion I present the 50 greatest MTX songs according to me.
- …And I Will Be With You
This song can never be not included in such a list. The American Ninja 2 line is my personal highlight, even though I now practically nothing about American Ninja 2. (Or American Ninja 1.) The modest beat prevents it from a higher rank, though.
- She Did Me In
An early song with Dr. Frank and Jon Von trading vocals in the chorus. It has a lot of energy, hence rank #49.

I’m going to see Chris de Burgh live today in Trier. There’s not really a new album to promote, although I suspect that Footsteps 2 will be featured to a certain degree. Anyway, I just jotted down my dream setlist – simply for fun. I tried to make it somewhat realistic, knowing very well that he won’t play most of the songs. I mean, he just has too many great songs in his back catalogue.
- The Storyman Theme (Intro)
- Don’t Pay the Ferryman
- Waiting for the Hurricane
- Eastern Wind
- Lonely Sky
- In a Country Churchyard
- We Can Work It Out
- People of the World
- The Revolution
- Light a Fire
- Liberty
- Borderline
- Say Goodbye to It All
- Love and Time
- There’s a New Star Up in Heaven Tonight
- The Lady in Red
- Africa
- Timing Is Everything
- Don’t Look Back
- The Storm
- Where Peaceful Waters Flow
- High on Emotion
- Read My Name
- Crusader (Encore 1)
- Transmission Ends (Encore 2)
