Title: Unbelievable! MK casts towel at Alan Clark!
Post by: LoveExpresso on January 15, 2014, 09:16:57 PM

It happened in London, during a concert in the year 1991... look at it at 8:20 into the video...

You can clearly see from Clarks reaction that he can't take a joke..

Seriously, I love this scene from Mark! Sorry if anybody knows this already - I have never seen it until today.

As the quality of the video is not good you cant say that Alan's reaction is an angry one, but I'd say that someone throwing at you a towel after drying his sweat, its not what you call funny  ;D

I've watched this before but never noticed that!  Pretty funny. :lol

Interesting improvisation by Mark after that in the solo.

No doubt to me that Alan didn't like this. He throws the towel and then looks away from Mark, like he dosen't want any contact with him at that point. Probably just a bad day :) Great playing anyway...

it is impossible to see his facial reaction. him throwing the towel behind him can mean anything.
but yes, great solo, great version. funny to see him seemingly in a very good mood..

Thanks, LE, never seen this before. Great spotting.  Agreed with Pottel.  It was all for nothing except Alan happened to be just where Mark was looking.  ;)  Miss that beautiful solo.
