Of course, knew all the time it would return in US...

they have played it in most countries involved/affected by last world war.. germany, netherlands, england, france, italy,  Norway, and of course US.. Poland is missing here though as they only got Piper.

They should have kept BIA as much standard in the set as Corned Beef City...

Woman came storming on to the stage, and Graeme intervened before she got to Mark.


Graeme achieved 500 bonus points, and may now continue to Level 2 :)

Ingrid almost rescued Mark from a mad Belgian girl at the RAH this May who already kneeled on the stage and wanted to go to Mark during the encores.
Or at least gave her a speech she won't forget...

"Poland is missing here though as they only got Piper"

Exactly! Two concerts in Poland day after day and the same set list. I was hoping for a small change.

I stopped a then friend from jumping on stage in Chicago years ago. To this day, she won't talk to me over it. Over a decade long friendship gone for merely being a voice of reason. Sad.

I bet Mark was fuming mad....

The US?  Toronto, of course, is in Canada, a country larger in area than even China, and not part of the US.

This version seems to have a somewhat proper end solo compared to other renditions this tour. Most of those sound pretty decent to me, but only up until Jim’s organ solo ends and everything has built up to the climax of the song, which is Mark’s final solo and sadly has been pretty weak to very poor imho.

Let's admit it, we all just want a hug from MK.  :D

That actually looked a bit more cringeworthy than the time I did the running of the bulls... totally alone.  The security guard told me to "calm down." LOL

Have you listened to the first one of the tour, Bordeaux ? Quite good to me, even if not as epic as 1985...

Or at least gave her a speech she won't forget...

Maybe his stability isn't so good these days.  He looked as though he was about to fall back when that woman rushed toward him.

keyword in my sentence is always, already happened in the past tours more than once, and always same reaction,
even when NOT running away like this time but always annoyed by the event

Of course, knew all the time it would return in US...

they have played it in most countries involved/affected by last world war.. germany, netherlands, england, france, italy,  Norway, and of course US.. Poland is missing here though as they only got Piper.


The US?  Toronto, of course, is in Canada, a country larger in area than even China, and not part of the US.
true, slightly larger tan the US, and China (9,9million m2 vs 9,8 vs 9,5) but population wise it is only a 10th of the US and i am not even going to get started about China. i mean, it is even smaller then germany, italy, spain, france, england and Poland...

For European in general, when MK is touring there is mainly the US and the few Canadian cities he play doesn't get much attention in comparison.

We know it's a different country although we dont mind very much about any country at the other side of the ocean.
