Title: Chris rea
Post by: JeroenvG on October 09, 2009, 07:28:59 PM

As a fan of Chris Rea, it is sad that he played at the BBC but this is only too watch from inside the UK.

Can somebody please help me to get this video's?

This is the link : http://www.bbc.co.uk./radio2/events/chris-rea/ (http://www.bbc.co.uk./radio2/events/chris-rea/)

Hi!

The videos are now available at youtube, user zweistein2000 has put three songs online:

Recently I attended a Chris Rea show (for the first time), a wonderful evening. He gave such a powerful performance, one could not believe that he had been seriously ill. He was dancing a lot and played almost without a break. I love it that his music has moved a lot into the blues section. Now I'm wondering why I didn't pay more attention to him in the past years. Allegedly there is a new album announced due to release in the autumn - really looking forward to that. And I hope that the next Chris Rea tour is not so far away then.

By the way, a collaboration with MK would be really great, especially on stage. But CR has played on two David Knopfler tracks, so I guess that a collaboration with MK won't happen.

Chris Rea is an amazing man and one of the few dying breeds of rock music (including MK of course).I feel so sad about him that he had several medical operations these last years and was very near with death."The Road to Hell" is my favorite and I found it along the way when I was discovering MK.Great song I must say.

I am very happy to see that he mentions Mark on the Frost over the World interview that I found on youtube today, So who knows maybe they will collaborate with each other in the near future.

Is there any statement of MK about Chris Rea or does anybody know if they ever met on their musical journeys?
