yes

Since the three bonus tracks were put in "circulation", GF posted these vids on YouTube and given the fact that I'm guessing there might be poker chips in the tour merch...

It was quite the stretch for the ticket stub and GL music sheet... and oh, a box  ;D

Get Lucky comparison - sorry for a long post.

(www.amazon.com, circa price)


CD+DVD

$21 USD

Deluxe Box

$175 USD


Difference: $154 USD

         CD+DVD         Deluxe Box

CD         O         O

DVD         O         O

Bonus DVD      Free @Youtube      O

Bonus tracks (1 free flac @MKNews mistake                O
      the other two $1.98 online
      or briefly "free" @Youtube)

2x LPs         X         O

3x Poker Chips      X         O

2x craps dice      X         O

Guitar tab GL   (free if you play or                   O
      ask someone who plays
      the guitar well)

Replica ticket   (I have an original London                O
       Save the baby 2002 show
       ticket stub,
       beats the replica)

------------

So, 2 outdated LPs, 3 poker chips, 2 craps dice, 1 ticket stub + 1 tab sheet

= a difference of about $152 USD


Money well spent? If I was a box owner, I'd be furious right now.

Rollergirl, I totally forgot about the vinyl edition inside the deluxe edition. ::). I understand that this indeed is a good argument to buy this box - the rest still isn't.
(Even the three songs are crap in my opinion, something that would never go onto an "official" record.)

Those three videos of Guy's make a very nice complement to the other several he had on his site for several months.   I think it's a nice collection.   This forum has taken a real negative turn lately.   I hope that we all cheer up when the tour begins.

Yes, it looks very cool! I had it in my hands recently and the box design is really cool. Our MediaMarkt has a special place for Deluxe stuff and Mark's box is the coolest looking one... A moment to be proud of him, speaking as a fan... :lol

irisrose, no worries, it is dedicated to specific topics, that deserve it (the box WAS overpriced, even though, being the mk whore that i am i did buy)
let it all go..... ;D

Yeah, Irisrose, sorry if you understood it that way. I still LOVE and adore MK and his catalogue. But after following him now for more than 25 years on a daily base, I found some stuff that really disturbed me lately - this deluxe stuff and the posh elitist show acts in the last months are only two points.
I think this forum is hopefully a place to express all kinds of feelings about MK and not only to glorify and praise him. If I didn't care a pap for him, I would not be a member here! And would not have bought my tickets! ;)

yes, that was one of the reasons we started this whole thing, being able to also vent anger or disagreement at times, which was impossible on TK's site.

Post by: Waterline Man on March 30, 2010, 11:28:52 PM
I do agree with some of what LE is saying but at the end of the day its peoples own choice as to what they want to buy,I didnt buy the box set as I didnt think it was worth it & I wouldnt buy a ferrari either for the same reason :o :o box sets aren't my thing but the best of luck & enjoy it if you bought one at whatever price

As Pottel has said this forum was formed for freedom of speech be it positive or negative at times & long may it continue!!!

This (& Pottels) comment gives me the courage to say..... I`m SICK of MKs modesty when he`s interviewed , I find it boring to the point of irritating. Phew!!!!  :)

Mea culpa!

I happened to stumble across this (through another link that Guy offered on his site today):

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wj_Z5Sk4PPE&feature=related

and I never have seen that. And I don't think it was mentioned in this thread yet! Seeing John McCusker imitating Mark during Sultans is worth
a LOT of money indeed.... :lol :lol

So there seems to be more stuff on the DVD than just the three videos I found in this thread.

Unless GF has deleted some videos... There were EIGHT videos yesterday... And I got confirmation that these 8 vids were the ones on the bonus dvd.

Well I posted a hot reply yesterday, and rethought it immediately and deleted it.   I didn't mean to be so strong in my words, but I had not suggested or implied anything about censorship.    That is not what my original post said at all.    Certainly people are entitled to be negative if they want, but it's also okay for me to comment on it.   No offense was intended.  I thought I had expressed it in a lighthearted and friendly way.

Very nice that Guy uploaded this videos to his youtube account, I wish he does more, its interesting, although there is no subtitles available in the dvd so sometimes its a bit difficult to non english people...

Yepp, I love the videos too, but sometimes the noise caused by the surroundings is a little bit high. Maybe he could try an external microphone? But on the other hand it could make things more difficult for GF as a single camera without an external microphone is more handy and easier to carry the whole day.
