Ed Biknell / MK feud in 2000

[Tally]

It's hardly a secret that MK ticket sales in the US are weaker than in Europe, thus the smaller venues. I'm sure they'd play bigger venues if they could.
And playing medium-sized arenas (which can be like ice hockey halls!) is pretty big for most artists

Dire Straits was touring for 14 months and used big arenas.

I would like to meet a 60 old star is touring 14 months.

MK is touring for 4 months, using very small venues in the US (sometimes less than 1,000 seats), and when he uses large venues in Europe it is on a dramatically reduced scale (compare the '92 6 nights in Paris vs. the 2010 one night in Paris for instance).

Every 2 years. 14 months during latest 6 years.  The same result for latest Dire Straits tour. 

MK charges very cheap prices (in the range of 60

And yet they were bigger venues in 08, Red Rocks etc. This time smaller venues but higher prices.

Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson are two straight off the top of my head without thinking about it. They both tour pretty much constantly. Kris Kristofferson too, and he plays a two hour solo acoustic show every night.

I'm not familiar with their schedule's so feel free to correct me but surely they have breaks of about a month off every so often to keep them fresh and also I think the travelling from city to city every night is one of the most tiring aspects of touring.  Also, perhaps other artists have a couple of days off in between dates to recover from travel exhaustion.  Perhaps this would be a better idea as Mark gets older.

Mark does not try to do like others he do like he wants/feel it.
