Hello to all of you.
I'm thinking about buying yet another 1-2 concerts but not sure which one.
I already have the Hamburg Concert, which is ok and a fine memory because i was there.
But soundwise it could be better, because it sounds a bit muddy in my opinion.

So please, which one is the best sounding so far? Nimes, Luxembourg?
How about the last concerts?

Regards,
Olly

Currently listening to Cordoba - impressive - but as I have not listened to all the others ones I can't say if it is the best one.

Barcelona and Nimes are good too! And Amsterdam all 3 shows good audio quality.
Montreux not really good sound

I'm very happy with Frankfurt, but not too impressed with Locarno!   :-\

like the beginning of Speedway in locarno.
Mark plays the riff of the EC song that has the lyrics (forget the title right now) "going down to Rosdale, take my driver by my side" or something like that..
any Knopfler, Floyd or Dylan will do....

I got Madrid and to be honest I don't know how Guy thought it was the best show!  Great Speedway (as usual) but apart from that I'd say slightly below par.  I'd say most of the later concerts had very similar solo's as MK seemed to get less and less inspired.  It's sometimes difficult to tell them apart!

Thanks for your answers.
I think i will give Luxembourg a chance first because of the different setlist.

Well, I'm so in love with A Night in Summer that I obviously prefer the Paris show.
Mark sings that song (and a lot of other tunes) in a very inspired way... not standard.
So Paris has these two pecoliarities that I appreciate so much.

The version of Marbletown played in Locarno was really fantastic! It sounded a bit more inspired than at some of the other shows.

Birmingham has the best Hill Farmers Blues ever...

Solo is 30 seconds longer than all the other simfy recordings! :D
Lenght is 5.42, instead of 5.14 by the other concerts...

There is one similair Hill Farmers Blues in USA audience... Around the 20th of may...
