Oh dear! According to Isaac's blog today, Mark has hurt his left leg and spent the whole of the concert seated! I wish him well and hope it gets better soon. Apparently he played just as good as ever though! :)
-
And since he didn't manage to get back to the chair in time for the outro solo of Romeo, he played it standing, but away from his volume pedal :o that he uses extensively during that solo. He then had to use the volume knob of his guitar instead for the volume swells! Would be interesting to hear a recording of that. Wonder if we are able to hear some difference.
He also apologized to the crowd for not doing the regular jumps over the monitors :lol

Donegans was played, according Jeroen

What a show last night!!!!! I was able to get an audio of the whole show but had to return the borrowed recorder right after the show so I don't yet know how it turned out. This show was the last of three for me, and what a pleasure it was to be in my hometown. Yes, Mark played virtually the entire show sitting down. This made for some slightly different and more energetic solos than usual. What a hoot!!! I won't have the audio ready to share until probably Sunday. I haven't heard it myself yet. I will get the file back on Saturday. My buddy said he listened to a couple of clips and said that it turned out pretty decent with a little bit of echo to the voice. Ill post it on this forum once I chop it up into songs. I also have around 300 photos from my trip of MK and will post a link once I trim them down and get them into an online album.

Yes, nice picture indeed :) And Richard's beard always reminds me of a West Highland Terrier ;D
-
hey diremark, thanks for that info, and for taping! did you also tape the two other shows you went to?
-
And it is one of the few pictures (until now) in Guy's 2010 diary where you can see Glen Worf! As if he got as shy as Mark... I already wondered if we
will ever see the Mighty Worf at Guy's site again...

I was at the Ann Arbor show, too! I didn't see you, diremark, but then, I don't know what you look like! I did meet Jeroen, after the guy sitting next to me mentioned that the guy in front of him (Jeroen) was from Europe and he was attending all the American shows. I knew he had to be a forum member (to be that crazy), so I tapped him on the shoulder and introduced myself. Our very own Jeroen! What a pleasure to meet him...
As diremark said, MK was seated for the entire gig, except for a few painful looking attempts to move around. I thought the lighting was spectacular and the sound was terrific. The crowd was enthusiastic and very responsive. I resisted the urge to shout "We love you Mark!" during the quieter moments, although I did hoot and holler with the crowd. Far be it from me to overreact to Mark's presence. I avoided all pre-show spoilers so that I would be surprised at the setlist. My patience was rewarded, time and time again. Highlight of the evening? A scathing version of Speedway, played loud and with verve. I loved it! Mark gave the thumbs up at the reference to Belle Isle in Detroit, a gesture which did not go unnoticed by the crowd. Diremark already gave you the setlist and every song sounded fantastic to me, so I won't go over each one individually. It was a wonderful evening, from the second row, center stage! I wish I'd had my camera with me!!!

I also like the picture of Glenn and Richard very much! Thank you for sharing Rollergirl!
Thank you Diremark and Gbobmi for the review! What a pity that you didn't meet each other, BUT Gbobmi it is great what you were able to meet Jeroen! ;D I am glad to hear that you had such a wonderful time at the concert and that you enjoyed all the songs! Yeahhh it sure is a pity that you didn't take your camera with you, but lucky Diremark made a few (LOL) pictures! ;) I am looking forward to watch them!

I feel so bad when I learned that Mark was in pain and had to sit down to play. I really am very concerned with his strenuous schedule playing night after night. Standing up, holding those heavy guitars, and sings for 2 hrs. That I feel is wayyyyyyyy too much for him. I can't bear to see anything happening to him. :'(
Now, I think will be a good time for all our ladies in this forum to give Mark his well deserved massage thearapy and pampered him to a point where he feels so good and ready to rock again.
What do you say, Fieneke? Any ideas to revive Mark ?
-
gbobmi--remember when you EA and I shared Speedway? Now why haven't we done that for such a long time. :o
-
Oh and everytime he plays Coyote, I am thrilled. My recording had a bit too much echo also. Hard to distinguish words sometimes. I'm sorry to hear about the pain. :'(
-
Yup, Marie, I remember our Speedway episodes! That needs to happen again and soon...
Where do I get in line to give Mark the massage therapy? I'm good, too! :lol

No, he just ended it more apruptly than he's always done in the past.
-
Thanks for that clip! Really great in my opinion, and he seems to enjoy it very much! He even smiles! :D Wow...

-
Great version!!! ;D ;D ;D
I'm loving the way he uses the chair to swivel round to face other band members. 8)
Chairs BBB
-
I totally got the impression that MK and the band were enjoying themselves. We got a lot of smiles from him!
-
Mark nails the twiddly bits in that Sultans clip, which is rare these days. It seems being seated makes him focus more on the guitar (well, judging from this clip).
-
Fantastic version!!
And MK loves it too!! ;D
I love that man... :lol
-
Wow! I must say! Really nice playing! :) A bit of "Alchemy-feeling" between 1min 10sec and 1min and 13sec. ;) Good to see!
