one wonders why....

"how does it feel...."
Isn't it a nice feeling: Letting them know how it feels to ask for something...
Really... Obviously MK doesn't even spend money for a proper tour photographer? Every mediocre band has one. Now poor Terry has to beg for such pics. First answer that comes to my mind: Only in change for the London '85 Blu-ray. Or any other stuff that these fans who take those pics are waiting for for years...
JUST kidding.

I agree that nowadays concerts aren’t as documented as before. Big acts used to rely on profissional photographers covering for the news, allowing a slot of 3-4 songs for the press. Now nobody covers single act concerts anymore and he should really employ a professional for the road crew.

I remember at the Edinburgh 1996 show there was a pro photographer covering the show on behalf of Mark/Ed. When I got to my seat there was a leaflet on it stating so and advertising I could send away for a picture from the show as a souvenir. I did!
Maybe it's just a few shows during a tour that are covered and the others are by local press upon request.
