That video and the sweeping camera angles at that venue were stunning...

LOVE that picture! And wow, it must have been boiling hot that day, but MK wears a longsleeve shirt and DOES NOT sweat! :o
-
That must be the shortest setlist of the complete tour! How come? I wonder if the heat has something to do with it... I think I would have been disappointed by such a short list... Together with the first bad reviews from mk.com I ask myself if there were some time schedule problems, no soundcheck, curfew, etc...

Sorry for being shallow again but can you post some more pictures? :P
-
Really great pictures. Which camera did you used? ;D
-
OOOOOhhhhhhh. MK. Partially bare-chested. Wannee, where are you?
-
Beautiful locations over there in Italy, that must be a real addition to the show! Would love to see an MK show in future over there (open air). And nice pictures too! :D
-
Thank youuuu Pensaboy!! It's unbuttoned shirt time again for MK, very good ;D
-

ummmmmm quite a nice picture. Not sexy enough though. :lol I like the shirt !

:P :P :P :P
Mark would probably say, "Get a life, girls!"

According to Guy, they had a plane to catch. The usual explanation then.

So, why do they don't start the show earlier?

Too hot maybe.
Preavious show ended almost at midnight, they got into the hotel in Rome at 3 a.m.
I suppose they all were a bit tired, the heatwave hit Italy these very days.

A friend of mine who was there was quite angry, he doesn

I can understand that the fans are angry. The band could stay somewhere close in a nice hotel. I'm sure there are plenty of nice places around. :(
-
I would be upset by such a short list. :(
Agree with jbaent, you can shorten your set list, but please let people know in advance.
There's always a solution. If you must play less songs, play something unusual.
Just to apologize and to thank the audience. Like a compensation.
-
I would have been upset about a shorter set too, but the things is, 95% of the audience probably didn't notice it was shorter....
-
Well, in the past the Italian shows have been shortened as well... SFA was often the last song. I can understand it's pity to attend the shortest show in the tour. :-\ It's the disadvantage of the hotel far far away.

Terrific pictures Pensaboy!
About notice or not the shortener setlist. This sunday I

Do you know what happened with this kind of decisions by MK and the band? I heard some friend telling that they won

Montreux starts @7:45, so will Mark extend to a 2h30 plus show?
-
Yummy, partially bare-chested MK! Keep those pics coming!!
Nah, LE, he would be flattered I'm sure ;D
-
Great photos, Pensaboy. Now we know .... it has to get really hot for MK to unbutton the top four buttons of his shirt. I wonder why he doesn't just wear a t-shirt? ???
-
T-Shirt?? MK??? Nooo, never! That would be NERD, wouldn't it..... :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Or tank top ? to show those big strong arms, or shorts ? to show those sexyyyyy legs. ooohhhh. (are they sexyyy?) DC wears shorts all the time. ;D
Maybe I should go "get a life !"

MK in a tight black t-shirt is definitely not nerdy. (see attached) :P
(I know, I know .... I need to get a life, but the tour is almost over and pretty soon, we will have no recent photos of MK to dissect.)

It was really hot but not as hot as it had been in Florence where I had spent the previous week. It seems the further inland you go the hotter it gets! At least in Lucca the narrow streets make for them to be mainly shaded so walking around this beautiful small town is an absolute pleasure. It is a small town too (at least inside it's wall) and one can easily explore it on foot and if tired stop off at one of the many quaint ice cream parlours or cafes. I walked around half expecting to see band members but no luck. I found a small record shop actually located in Piazza Napoleone which was full off MK stuff and laid out on the cash desk was old LP's and all the CD's in the MK catalogue. You'd never guess he was playing here tonight would you!
The show itself I thought may start late as people were still coming in near show time but it started on time. People didn't stop coming in until about the end of the 2nd song but they were all pretty nice and tried to keep low so as not to obscure our view (I was in front row) and the stage was high anyway.
When STP was not played I gave a wee cheer to myself. A bit fed up with it to be honest now and never thought I would hear myself say that because it is a great song! Very nice Coyote but no PW which was strange as during soundcheck in the afternoon a technician tested a few bits from it so I thought it was guaranteed. R&J was nice too and I was thinking Marks voice sounds good tonight considering it's been sounding worse of late. A good if not great Sultans followed with a small mistake I think in the middle solo but I'll need to hear it again to make sure. As has been said before Speedway was great - the highlight for me. Perhaps the best I've ever heard, well that's what I thought at the time but you know how you get carried away with the moment. TR was nothing special, quite short final solo as usual these days. BIA was very nice and SFA must have been the best ever because it actually retained my attention for its entirety! The band went off stage one more time and the fabulous Italian audience began their yell, coaxing the band back on for Piper, Mark playing a great version with the white towel on his lap.
A big thank-you from myself to all the lovely people of Tuscany, in particular Florence and Lucca who made my all too brief stay there fabulous and for making a great concert even better!

Thanks, nice review. Interesting, Isaac said the same about So Far Away...

Many thanks for your review, dmg! I'm so glad you enjoyed the show, despite the heat. :)

Because he secretly knows how to tease us crazy chicks! LOL! ;D

To elaborate a little Mark sounded enthusiastic with his vocal delivery and played a little guitar at the end instead of just going through the motions.
-
Thanks for the review DMG, didn't realise you were going to Italy as well you lucky bar steward. :)
