Many thanks.   It was short, but sweet.   I enjoyed MK's guitar very much and wish it had been much longer with a close-up.

Was it forbidden to film Mark? Sensational how whoever filmed this managed to miss everything that COULD have been interesting. Cymbal anyone?

Nice to see. Interesting also to see Mark and Alan, rather than Guy on this. Predates NHBs

This is one of the coolest songs from Brendan in terms of groove. That concert should be digged and released as it covers the best years of Brendan with a super band with MK and Alan, plus the legendary Marcus Cliffe.

Thank you for the upload. Brendan would always be in my heart even without his MK connection, for this song alone: https://youtu.be/aCEY0EtEKnM?si=I3Hqm87yEauzNEiD

And for me, this song. It's a shame it's not on the album Missing...

It's in one of the Brendan solo records:

Many of the NHB live songs came from Brendan solo records, also some from Steve, and of course, DS and MK.

Yes, but on the album Missing... we would have had a beautiful MK guitar solo :)
