Very nice to see the STP documentary showing up today complete and in a proper quality. Things start to develop. I always liked these 25 minutes very much. Love the part with the immortal question still.
Well done, who ever is responsible for that channel.
LE
-
Only downside is that they dropped the channel's subscribers counter and likes/dislikes counter.
I want to know exactly how many people are subscribed on MK's channel for some reason. You?
And this OFFICIAL signs on every video is a little bit annoying, as if we don't get that verified account IS official.
-
And includes subtitles!!
The pitty is not real Hd, but an upscale, because wasn´t filmed in HD.
The next, one, the Madrid 2001 8)

Yeah :)

Great documentary! :D

That is a lovely video. I especially like when he talks of the "Love over Gold" wall. He's more open than usual in this video.
-
Awesome, thanks !!
I didn't know about the golden heart live video, different from a night in London...
The 2007 Rudiger, BIA and Postcards are great !!
Really hope to get some more live videos in this "official" way - like the 2002 outstanding Why Aye Man, What it is from Edison awards 2003, 2009 Hurlingham....
Madrid 2001 ? Montreux 2010 ? BBC 2013 ? Some 2015 shows ? I keep in dreaming...

Anyone else feel frustrated that the only videos available of Mark 's solo career are 1. quite bad live performances by a notable nervous/uncomfortable MK backed up by his second rate band (as in those showcases and promos) or 2. rediculous playback/singback appearances and videoclips. It doesn't do justice at all to both the qualities of his work and of MK himself and his wondeful touring band as live performers. It gets even more frustrating when you realise that there's good quality footage enough available (like madrid 2001, montreux 2010, london 2013 etc.). I just don't understand why MK management would spend money on putting together such a channel without any content that actually promotes MK...

True, especially for the playback video.
This said, some live videos are quite charming in this minimalist set-up: Postcards is quite cute, as Rudiger, and BIA... No flute, which is somewhat refreshing, good fellow that John is...;)

Well said, but I like his "uncomfortable second band" sometimes even more than his main band, which apparently can play 80% of the setlist while sleeping. I love "09.09.09 Prince's Trust" concert, hands down the best version of "Sailing To Philadelphia" ever — what a tasty bass lines there! Man!
But frustration, unfortunately, is the word that comes to mind then you start to think about Mark's live material. Can't wait for the new "project" with Hansen, in fact ANY material of his quality would be refreshing, even if it's 8-hour 4K video clip of Mark sitting in the chair.
-
Of course the AVO session or Hurlingham aren't all bad, there sure are some good moments, it's MK after all. But imho an overall uneasy/restrained feeling overshadows those entire performances, it's just far off how a real MK live concert can be (and should be documented).
And that socalled LIVE clip of Golden Heart on the youtube channel is clearly a playback to the album recording. I find it plain rediculous and horrific to watch real musicians, especially someone of Mark's calibre, doing a playback in a concert hall. And if that's not ambarrassing enough MK's official channel advertises it as being live!
I would not post these type of comments on Guy's forum as I respect him very much and appreciate what he's doing with his site and forum. Therefore he doesn't deserve to be bothered with negativity.
Let's just hope some decent live footage sees the light of day in the near future. Fingers crossed

Totally agree. The AVO session is toe-curlingly awful, with the exception of one or two songs previously mentioned. I can't believe that this is the performance that is usually broadcast on certain TV channels, when there is so much better live material to promote MK and his band.
-
Do any of you really expect to see unreleased footage in the official YouTube account, that is free to watch?
If they didn't give a damm about releasing videos that costed money, do you think they are going to give them away for free?
Reaaaaaally?
:o
-
Of course I wouldn't expect unreleased live footage to show up for free. And of course I would be more than willing to pay for it. But it also doesn't make any sense at all for them to invest serious money to film and record mutiple concerts and subsequently do nothing with it. Most of the costs are already made, but so far the benefits are zero. Better promotion would at least be a benefit. Especially when you realise the only live material that is now available on his official channel and is broadcasted from time to time on television is bad promo and even harmful to his reputation as top class musician.

Really he only has himself to blame. I seriously doubt much preparation or practice goes into these promo things. He usually doesn't even do much of a warm up before a world tour these days.
I seem to recall at the time of the AVO Session Guy said they were 'rusty' and that Mark didn't have time for a vocal warm-up.
-
Honestly, I avoid watching any new live stuff these days cos Mark's playing makes me depressed. Last time Mark was Mark was on the SL tour, and it keeps getting worse.
-
I can agree to that to certain degree. I think the Tracker Tour was the worst tour of all I have been to since 1991, most songs were butchered and just a shadow of what they once were, hence my time out from not only AMIT but also Mark in general. BUT I realized, or better, I remembered that he is a complete artist on all levels, so it was not too difficult to forget the guitar hero thing, something I was never really into, and appreciate his albums, his lyrics, his voice, his general output more.
I agree about the AVO sessions which are more some sort of anti advertising. He can do much better.
I always wonder what is so difficult in waiting when a tour is commencing for the right moment when all, band, Mark, voice, audience is tight and the vibe is there to say NOW let's get in the film crew and capture the right moment for eternity.
Oh, I forgot, they never look back... ::) :-\

I personnally think that the following songs were played better in 2015 than in 2005:
- Sultans (old licks again)
- R&J (with sax)
- BIA (with intro)
- Speedway (I got used to the flute !)
WOL and MFN versions of 2005 are not so great - too slow, no energy. Wam was good , but it was also good in 2011. Anyway the best was in 2002...
I agree that TR was played with more energy in 2005, but 2013/2015 versions have their charm too (great voice and end solo). WII was also probably better and more rocking in 2005 than in 2010/13/15, and the flute doesn't fit...
STP was still good after 2005, the 2009 Hurligham 2009 version is a killer.
Songs that did not exist live in 2005, like HFB, PFP and KOG, were very well played in 2015. Same for resurrected DS songs - YLT and OES...and the resurrected Going Home, both with and without sax, quite excellent !
Not to forget the 2010 songs like BR, Coyote and Piper, quite fantastic...
All in all, a bit unfair a statement IMHO, things are not that black and white ! :)
-
The Return of the Sax in R&J alone is not enough to say it's great IMHO. It was played by far not as good as from CW and it sounded rough, cut, unrehearsed and therefore in the wrong place.
Just sayin'.

Right, I guess because Mark's trying to play song written by other man and refuse to play songs written by nowadays him.
I think 99 of 100 people here will agree that come on Mark, throw O2 away and play in pubs! Play with just one guitar. And it will be EPIC.
-

The last Tour where MK really got me was the KTGC Tour. I made it to 6 gigs. Despite he always played the same set without any changes it rocked.
After his back problem and the GL Tour his playing and energy left slowly.
The Privateering & Tracker Tour gave nothing to me. Same songs eg. But: The Band IS PHENOMENAL. Drums , Bass , Guitars. Excellent-
Only the current Band of Joe Bonamassa is equal to them. Check out his latest Blues Blu Ray. Live at the Greek Theatre. You will like it
So I was happy that I only bought tix for the Cologne Gig on Tracker Tour.
Privateering I saw 2 shows and went on to Cologne because only Love Expresso couldn't make it. Thanks again Wolfgang

It was a pleasure, Steinei. At such short notice it turned out to be a "win-win" situation for both of us I guess.

Personnally I was impressed with the GL tour - to see how well Mark could play despite his back problem. He could have just cancelled the tour ! TR end solo was quite electrifying in Paris 2010. Maybe not the best ever, but great. And the energy level was back in 2013, Saint-Julien was a hell of a show. Maybe a bit less energy in 2015, but as you said, a fantastic band that still made the shows quite enjoyable !
-
Why to make complain? When Marc will to wear his pants up to his breasts like Al pacino or Kristofer Walken, I will to complain and quit to listen him.
-
Just in case you never noticed, it's Mark with a K...
Are you very much into him?
LE
-
You remind song Boon like that"! "Krok with K - but not spelled like that way now". Nice!
I was into MarK only one time. In London.
-
Sketchy.. :hmm

Boom!

It goes on today with a Ragpicker’s Dream EPK, roughly 17 min. I must admit I have never seen before. It's great to hear him say the usual stuff, nothing really new of course. The visual material is quite disappointing actually. Not a single new scene, only old stuff from Hillbillies and the STP EPK and stuff.

I love how Mark's talking about title track as if it was written by someone else. Like — I really don't know how I did it. True inspiration maybe?

And very little snippets from the MK and friends show at Shepherd Bush 2002... They recorded the whole concert just for that...

There are shots of the three NHB videoclips and the 2001 live scenes, it looks like a pavilion and it looks like Badalona to me...

What I initially meant was "no new material then. Apart from the Interview, they only used old material. No urge to make a new film for the RPD release obviously. Compare to the STP EPK or the Shangri-La movie and you'll see that the 2002 promo wasvery very low-key.I remember him starting to give interviews in VERY obscure TV shows or TV magazines back then.

I remember at the time of the STP release they pushed the boat out and took a long time carefully choosing the album cover, then organising lots of promotion for Mark, much more than they did for GH. I guess they expected big things from it.
It seemed that with Ed as manager this was something he took seriously but after STP era he left. Crocks just stands back and appears to let Mark do what he wants. Passive management. Who knows what would've happened to DS under his management...

This is the type of management that Mark wanted otherwise Ed would be still in the boat.

It was indeed released before, I've seen this already. They're probably going to upload all the material which was already released before or seen before. I hardly doubt it that there's any unreleased material to be seen on the channel.

I hope you are wrong Holaknopfler, but I'm afraid you are right.
About the quality shoe video, it's on my Ragpickers Dream bonus disc.

It was new for me. Anyway, even if they'd release only "already released" material, better to have it all on one channel in this kind of quality.

Nice to see Chris White playing with him. This little solo is just another proof (to me) that there is hardly any difference in the quality between Chris White and Nigel Hitchcock. I would always agree when someone says Chris would fit far better with Mark's music. Chris always made me literally listen to an instrument which I otherwise would only connect with bad 80's music. Nigel's fragmented solo on Romeo & Juliet made me cringe when first heard in Munich..

As far as I recall, is "Why Aye Man" video from the same Shepperd Bush 2002 show the video included in the bonus disc, not "Quality Shoe"
In fact, the live version of "Quality Shoe" is in the bonus disc, but in audio...

I'd love that they release the whole concert but I think it´s unlikely that they release a nearly 2 hours concert song by song...
From this concert we already had "Why Aye Man" video in the Ragpickers bonus disc, and snippets of "Quality Shoe" in the Ragpickers video press kit. Now we have the whole video for the first time...
I hope that they upload more material like that, it would be great.

Totally agree - CW is not only better suited to Mark's music but sounds a better musician to me. Nigel tends to over-elaborate at times and frankly annoys me, especially on R&J. Why does he have to play over the final verse and over the guitar solo at the end? So annoying!!! Sometimes less is more.
-
Yes...
Let's hope that's a good sign for the future then! 😊

what we had was a few excerpts from the version of Quality Shoe, but is now in full Sheperd's Bush Empire of 2002. I am increasingly enamored with this channel, it is a real gift for fans. :clap

I'd rather hear Going Home without the sax too to be honest.

Seeing this video of quality shoe show up is indeed a very positive development for this channnel! It's actually live, it hasn't been released before (apart for snippets in the documentary and the full version in audio on the RPD bonus disc) and it's a good and confident performance (although be it of one of Mark's less interesting songs). Hope they put on more of that show! I wonder though if they can show why aye man on this channel because it's already officially being sold on itunes.

What I don't like about this video is that continues change of camera, in 10 seconds you have almost 10 changes of angle...

You should definitely check out Paul McCartney's blu-ray titled "Live Kisses", which is a blu-ray version of a live iTunes broadcast of his jazz concert in Capitol Studios. While original broadcast was almost perfect, this blu-ray is a disaster — whacky filters, crazy editing like REALLY 10 changes of an angle in 10 seconds, and overall one of the worst videos I ever seen in my live. While original broadcast — one of the best :D

I suspect music video director to consider music video to be boring so they tend to shake it up a little bit by 10 changes of an angle in 10 seconds.
I don't like neither. I like slow travelling with change of camera when accurate. For example if I had to edit a live video captation of BLT I would do quick switches between Mark and Richard playing focus as the guitar parts for both is on purpose (same for SAN). But for IDUAD guitar solo from 2006 I would want to have them both on the same picture without fast camera change.

I was hoping for some 'new' stuff after they posted Quality Shoe, but yesterday this was posted:

Well they can't always upload new material, cut them some slack... I'm sure there will be something new after this brilliant concert.

I'd say that is "curious" that the whole Real Live Road running DVD is being uploaded track by track..
So badly were the sales than they are giving it for free?

But... there's clips from the concert all over the place anyway, so why not to make it official? If you can't beat it — lead it. Very wise.
Let alone the actually make a profit from it.

I love this documentary, it's so great they had all the band speaking rather than just Mark. Essentially, they're all his fans who got to play.
Two things I miss — Chuck, such a great man! Certainly he's as good in sound design as Mark in songwriting. What a good team it was!
Second — interesting how they would start a documentary with a B-Side and missed the songs like "5:15 a.m." :clap :clap :clap

Just decided to revisit A LIfe In Songs documentary, it's not like I never seen it, but some lines I've missed somehow, like this:
What I try to do with a song—is craft it.
I try to craft a song with pride and I try to make something that's going to last.
I think that's one of the most beautiful things he could possibly say about his work.

So it seems YouTube now has a new version of "verified account" sign for music channels. Looks pretty strange and amateur-ish to me. Simple check mark is way better... By the way, there's almost whole 2007 Berlin show on the channel. I was very happy when it ended up on his channel.
