Concert #21:2010.05.01, MGM Grand at Foxwoods Casino, Mashantucket, CT - Spoiler

[Dutchessy]

In Holland that problem is solved very easily, you might have read it in one of Guy's earlier diaries:
Standing gigs, among the people there are guys walking around with beer in a can on their back, so you can buy it when they come to you 

I hate those fuckers with their irritating flags..

[ingridswing]

I don't  Except when they are standing right in front of me for a long time. But having a nice beer during the concert is not too bad and I have to admit that concerts in Holland are most of the time not disturbed by drunken people, at least not the concerts I am going, could be different at concerts for younger people

Call me conservative but I don't like these beer bag people either. They seduce people to drink. They should sell water and juice, especially when it's hot weather. But of course they don't! How idiotic is that? I have to give my water bottles to a security guy when I enter a stadium, I can't leave to get water during the concert because it's too crowded when it's general admission but I can buy beer and caipirinha! Which helps a lot if you're dehydrated and about to faint... I'm sorry, I don't mean to be a killjoy but I think it's unecessary. And I'm very sensitive when it comes to alcohol abuse and how most people still think that drinking is the most normal thing in the world. If you ask me, advertisement for alcohol should be forbidden, too. Again, sorry if I sound conservative, it's just my opinion. I have my reasons why I think this way.

[Love Expresso]

Well, I do not drink any alcoholics never, nada, nie, and I managed to get nearly 40 years with it! AND still have some friends! I must say I was very surprised in a positive manner when I read that Guy said Goodbye to Vitamin G... And he looks good with it.. In his 2001 tour diary (Hamburg gig) he had this nice pic with the very special german writing of caipirinha a complete counter,  and I remember those bags in some other venues, too! As long as everything is peaceful I can live with it but sometimes the vibes are somewhat "over-reacted" because of some people breaking the limit...

It seems that Mark hashad his "good" times also, and I think they all smoked a lot of weed away in the early DS years, but now he seems to be in wine more.

But I am no priest and everybody should do what he wants to. In Germany we have very severe problems with really young kids heavily drinking, and young means 10, 12, 13 years old, the hospitals are full of them at the weekends in some towns, and that is a real problem. And it is STILLl my opinion that a modern management should more be into prohibiting alcohol at gigs instead of cameras!

Amen!

Thanks, allen, but I would just like to say that when I see videos of this quality, I understand MK's dislike of them.  Audios have so much better sound and that's the most important thing!   MK is just a mere dot in the distance, so why bother!

Yes, but when MK allowed video recording we could sneak in better equipment and the video's we got were much better quality.  This is a direct result of the new policy;  it is no coincidence that the standard of video recordings from MK gigs has dropped significantly since the policy changed. 

We have a number of fabulous quality recordings from the S-L tour but hardly any at all and mostly pretty poor from the KtGC tour.  I take it most of these are shot by mobile phones or compact digital cameras on movie mode.

Well, Sultans sounds really great! Would have loved to listen to that version live! It seems the seating stuff doesn't affect his playing the slightest,
on the contrary! Loved it!

The Warner Wash.DC concert had quite a few drunks in the audience.  I was annoyed by a few of them.  One stupid lady kept calling out Romeo & Juliet --- EVEN AFTER HE PLAYED IT!  The seats were pretty tight and every time someone had to get out, everyone had to stand up and squish themselves against their seat to let them through, blocking the people behind them.  I had one guy that did it 3 times during the concert to refill his beer.

I like beer but I am never gonna drink it again at a gig, last time I had to miss a song to go and pee!

[Love Expresso]

Which one was it then? Water of Love? Or Let It All Go?

Yes, this is another really great recording - one of the best, in spite of the really noisy audience.   I agree "Sultans" was amazing.
