That black beauty looks like a fantastic guitar, but he didn't use it very often (Ferry Aid/ Let it be and Willy deVille / Storybook Love are the only recordings I can think of right now). I wonder why he didn't like it so much. Any ideas?And you can watch him play it at the Notting Hillbillies Snape gig on YouTube of course, as you probably know. Sheer beauty! LE

I love the contrast here MK & EC - 1987 to 1989, a lot of cool stuff happens during this period as already mentioned here, I love MK's interventions in the songs of the EC set, Mark has a very particular way of playing blues, it's not the traditional way as is usually expected and that's what attracts me, I love how he develops the solo in Crossroad, especially in Badge, in addition to the subtleties in I Shot the Sheriff, among others.In 1987 things work differently than in 1988, the arrangement changes, the way of approaching the songs, MK with the black Pensa, sometimes with the sunburst Schecter, probably the last year that this guitar was used live by Mark, a shame, it would have been incredible on other tours.

Really a great solo.
