The memories came back. I remember recording this documentary on a VHS cassette. I still have to this day :)

At the beginning of this interview there is a moment when Steve Phillips says that they had a good time and Mark replies: yes, you could say that. Brendan Croker must have expected a different answer from Mark because the grimace on his face is very telling.

Never seen this before, thanks for sharing

Don't follow the NHB period very closely, didn't realise they played I Think I Love You Too Much.  Your Own Sweet Way is a killer tune.

Indeed! This, the Chet Atkins special, DS in Israel, Basel 92 (LIVE) were all broadcast around the same time in Polish public TV. They must have had a massive MK/DS fan in charge of entertainment sector back then.

Think I Love You Too Much from this tour is my favourite performance of this song. Super tight with great MK solos and energy. Even better than DS versions from OES tour. Also love When It Comes To You from that period with Brendan's banjo.

Exactly koobaa! Great years. The head of the music editorial department at TVP at that time was Janusz Kosinski (R.I.P)

How hard must a person hate videos only to allow fans to watch this recording for 48 hours? And then we're surprised about Henrik Hansen's film going Chupacabra on us.

Since Mark doesn't own the rights to the broadcast, maybe we should be thankful instead that it is available, even if only for 48 hours?

I love this concert, by the way. Strange they didn't include Railroad Worksong. If it was a question of time limits, they should have replaced one of the other songs with RW.

I find this version of Water of Love absolutely haunting and fascinating... Best ever for me.

When Mark introduces Water of Love, his accent is different. What accent is that?

The video quality is good, but the audio is atrocious. Sounds like it went through a dial-up modem.

We have in unlimited the longest version of that broadcast, for free and with no limit of time, I don't care what the official YouTube upload for limited time, it doesn't deserve any thanks for my part.
