I can't see that this is a question of fairness. Would it be fair to MK if he only did what the fans wanted him to do? And what do the fans want? If you read the different MK forums, the fans doesn't agree on what they want. So the fans as a group can never be pleased. And these shows come as an addition to the public gigs, not instead of, so it's not that we are left out.
No, imo fans doesn't deserve anything. An artist should do what he wants or needs to do. If the public like it, they buy his art and attend his shows. The ones who don't, well they don't.

Well, see it more positive: KTGC promo was the first with showcases. If there wouldn't have been promo gigs like these, nobody could win either, nobody would complain. Now, a few people can win tickets for an exclusive show. To have or not to have. :)

no, there were showscases before.
e.g. the brussels showcase in 2004

My guess is that MK loves to play all kinds of gigs, the showcases included. Or else he wouldn't do it.
How can I say that?
Most musicians love to play in front of any audence, the challenging ones included. Challenging audiences often give them (us) an extra kick.
MK says that he is one of the fortunate few that does what he loves to do, namely play gigs.
I think he has total controll over his carere.
When MK is not smiling when he is playing, it's not because he is in a bad mood (not always, anyway), but because he is consentraing hard on what he is doing.
Guy says that the showcases are fun.
Remember: MK is an independent artist with a lot of money. He doesn't need to make records or play gigs for a living. It's all bonus for him. But, of course, he needs to sell records to finance the tours (according to Guy).
I don't think MK does try to take the fans' perspective at all, not us Knutties' anyway. Why? Because it's impossible to please us, with all our different and strange ideas. Therefore he just does what he wants to do.

OK, but the KTGC showcases were the first were "normal" people could win tickets. :P

I must learn to bite my tongue (or mash my fingers with a hammer) when I say some things, as I just received an invitation to that show!!!! :D :D :D :D :D

Once again! AMIT will be represented! We are everywhere!! Well done!

I'm so pleased for you! I hope you have a great time! :D

Great, I'm so happy for you. I totally agreed with your initial point but it's great to know that at least there'll be at least one true fan there! Have a great time (I'm sure you'll manage) and don't let PC's pre-show antics spoil your night!
There will be around 30 true fans there. Initially it was to be a press media show only but thanks to the hard work of a well known spanish fan, that 30 true fans will be there.
I really got lucky just for the invitation, I have to get lucky with my shift works for this week, and I

The most famous spanish singer and guitar player, Fito, from Fito & Fitipaldis was there as he is a big fan (you can say that hearing his stuff, not 100% influenced but its very clear), maybe you remember some fans, including me asked Guy about a supposed colaboration between them that we really don

-
Thanks, but not the whole of "What it is" :-\ I wonder why. ???
After reading the comments on YouTube I suspect MK was watching him! (3.09) ;)
-
Any news about a DVD for this TV appearance?
-
If this is Goodbye, recorded and edited by wonderful Ruben Espinar
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxpEqjpNP9Q
-
so is there now a full recording of this somewhere??
-
As far as I understand, Ruben taped the whole show and asked another Spanish fan to make a DVD. And the DVD is still under construction now.
-
thanks allen

Espanol amigos never disappoint us. 8)

Good news, OMA will upload his recording of the Madrid show. So we'll have another version of this gig. The sound quality is similar to Jose's recording, but it's always nice to have alternative version of the same show, in my opinion.

the dvd is out.

But this DVD is not the LaKnopflertk DVD... :(
LaKnopfler.tk team is working to obtain the whole show recorded by tCyL television in order to mix it with the Ruben recording and a mix, probably in Surround from Jose and Octavio recordings, plus the special report made by tCyL where you can see many of the LaKnopfler.tk members been interviewed.
-
Great to know the tv station filmed the whole. And hope LK will get lucky to obtain the tape. That'll be a perfect one.

Thanks to all of the guys in Espana who are working on this. :)

Wow. This is almost too good to be true, but I guess if anyone can pull it off, it would be our redoubtable Spanish cousins.

My dvd version of this concert coming soon.

Thanks, Julio and Francis. It seems MK looses the video policy? The video from TV station was stable, one cam, and far away, but with nice closeups and the overall view of the crazy fans. I guess Francis will give us more finger and mouth movement shot of the man!!!!! Can't wait! Hope Octavio can upload his recording, so that we can have three different audio sources of that particular show. Maybe a 5.1 surround sound? lol !!!
-
Wonderful! I am really looking forward to the Madrid DVD, thanks to the work of all the Spanish guys on the project! :P
-
Looks like the project is in his "working on it" phase, as all the available material is ready for it...
Just encourage our friend Francis ;D
