Simfy Concerts you HAVE to buy

[goldenheart96]

Well, I've "only" been to three shows so far but my vote goes to Frankfurt. I still don't know what happened that night. I have seen Mark in the Festhalle three times before (no wait, four times - if you count the ATRR tour as well) and it was always a good show, but still average, and I always hated the audience. Boring people being bored and behaving very reserved. Bad sound, standard show. But last Monday I was completely flabbergasted. Everything negative had turned into something positive. It was magical. I still wonder if it was really Frankfurt! I just wish there had been some more setlist variation but oh well. Definitely buying it. Oh and there were positive, very enthusiastic reviews from audience members and the media (I count myself to both  ).

Wow! This is exactly the kind of review I want to read...

Seems like the "must have" list is shaping up nicely....

So far we have

30th May 2010 - RAH - for a cracking live version of Monteleone
7th June - Frankfurt Germany - as recommended my Doc Fletch
8th June - Luxembourg - for the amazing into to Donegan's Gone - which could be off the seeing in the dark soundtrack

Additions -

6th June 2010 - Merksem (Antwerp) - Because Chairman Pottel says so! 

Like it!  Keep those reviews and recommendations coming!

Indeed! I think this will be an expensive month for me!  Maybe we should open a new thread that warns about which shows should NOT be bought...
because that might be a shorter one  It seems the tour has reached its highest quality level so far...

Live in Paris (Simfy) is really Fantastic!!! ... and the back of "A Night in Summer Long ago"...

[dustyvalentino]

I only have RAH and Antwerp so far. On balance I would say that RAH is the better performance and mix, but there's not a great deal of difference.

We really are being spoiled by all this choice.

But Mk voice in Paris is not very good, he try to sing very high and sometimes it sounds more like screaming than singing (A night in summer, for example)

[ds1984]

I think he tried to sing it a different way than usual.

I don't really want to endorse a negative thread, but I do agree with LE. A list of Simfy recordings that should be avoided would be much shorter. From the comments so far made it seems that every show is going to be a "must have" 

[Best Brown Baggies]

This may have already been mentioned, but any idea of how long these Simfy concerts are going to be available for?
I was maybe going to wait until the end of the tour, then buy maybe 4 or 5 in one go, depending on the setlists, quality etc....
Such a shame about the other RAH nights which are yet to see the light of day. I was at the 2nd night, and i thougt this was better than the 1st. Better versions of SOS, TR, HFB & Marbletown

i phoned them yesterday (they are residing in Cologne) and the guy was not sure, but in every case all shows should be available at least as long as the rour is running, probably much longer, but I asked because I want to compare the shows and read some more reviews before I decide which other ones I purchase... He was very friendly but also very half-hearted. So as the tour is running until the end of July, we will have some other very nice shows and MUST-HAVES to buy....

Other artists' shows seem to be available after their tours finish don't they?

[herlock]

Passalong had the shows available for 4 years, until they went bust...
Would be good to have more retailers for the shows, like virgin music or FNAC...
Ok, i know, i open the pandora box for heavy lawyer stuff headache
