And some idiots were filming again, so the finger of death was pointing twice to the same person. That may have annoyed MK, after starting in a very good mood!


Yes, that person stood right in front of me and at first i thought that Finger of Death has been for me  :D i was quite panicking  :P But that person really felt ashamed and i think he felt all the pairs of eyes on his back of the head  :)

But nobody noticed MY finger of death - i pointed at MK while he was filmed by this guitar-camera...it is said no filming allowed....so ...  :P

Good one :D

After so far away, they were standing/waving/bowing... and they walked off...
Everybody was waiting for them to come back, and then... All lights on... Show end...  :disbelief
A really unexpected end ... MK must have been in real pain.  :-[
 

No, they had to catch a plane (Guy's Diary/forum)

Actually, that's crap... I'm sorry but as musician you shouldn't stop a gig because of the plane... But that's just my opinion. Show goes first, plane right after.

Very well said.  As the old saying goes "the show must go on."  It's simply not good planning if they have to cut short concert's to catch their plane.  Surely five minutes wouldn't make any difference. ???

That's precisely why I think the reason given (plane to catch), albeit real, is a secondary reason, the primary reason being... something else that they don't want to talk about. Maybe a health problem, from MK or possibily from somebody else. Otherwise, they would have taken 5 minutes more, or plan to suppress a secondary song in the middle of the setlist...

Anyway, if someone was in pain, it might have been possible to see it, but definitely not to hear it; I have listened to the full show and these 14 songs sound awsome...

I agree. Bad planning. But slot times are slot times, so they could risk not to be allowed to take off or land. The same thing happened lots of times during the US leg of the K2GC tour due to the fact that many of the GA-airports they used closed at 11 pm. And they couldn't start the concerts earlier due to union regulations. Many shows were cut. This tour it only happened once I think. Until now.
