As days goes by by excitement about this double-header show is decreasing and decreasing...

Not only that but also talked with a friend who went to Glasgow on august last year and told me it was very very cold, almost like a standard winter day in where we live (Valencia, East Coast of Spain) so I

I was in Glasgow three times in the last 10 days (!) and it was beautiful very warm and sunny weather.  

by that he means it was not raining and the temperature was around 19 to 20C. That's what we call very warm and sunny over here too, but by Spanish standards, it's winter time!  ;D

Its true, 19 or 20 degrees is like autum here, summer here is between 35 and 42, usually 38 in ny town with high humidity.
You might get lucky, now and then

fellas, whocha moaning about?
the guy's seventy, so yes, his voice is a bit scratchy, but listen to his early 1990 performances, those were simply terrible, i think this band is so well oiled, and gifted, and the songs are brilliant (Things have changed is on replay for the past two days, as in, continiously) i don't care, the music rocks, and this new arrangement for Things have changed is awesome, here Mannheim germany, bad vid but decent sound and a ,imho, great performance...



You've gotta be kidding, Pottel!
Just to remind you, EC is 66 years old. Check this out
The voice gets deeper with age but that's absolutely ok. Btw, that BD performance was in Mainz, wasn't it?

And Yusuf aka Cat Stevens, 63 years old sings 'Trouble' . What a voice live! (And to answer your question: I've recorded all 7 European shows of him from Stockholm to Brussels)






John Mayall is still playing and he's over 70!  Joe Brown is 70 and still going strong, Paul Simon 70 thyis year, all good

I was just reading the Expecting Rain forum and they say that Leon Russell performed for under 50 mins!   The stage was then rearranged, which took 35 mins and BD performed for the rest of the time - around 90 mins and the show ended at 11pm.   I hope MK does more than 50 mins!  ::)

Im really starting to wonder why MK would interupt his album schedule and partake in a tour like this....it just doesnt seem to make sense....it certainly sounds like MK is the "warm up act"....why not just carry on - finish the album and have a full blown tour in 2012.... :disbelief

I also hope he will play more than 50 minutes, and I also still believe so  :) Is there any official site which marks MK as support act? And, if Mark would be only support act, why would we get all those emails from MKnews and MK.com and why would the MK.com site do the presale?

I havent come across anything that says MK is officially the warm up act - but its just a sense of what the tour will look like...

Anyway, 50 minutes is better than nothing. Let's hope for the best.

To call an established artised a warm-up act is just ludicrous, inpolite and simply not done!  Therefore don't expect to see it anywhere official.

As for the time MK will have on stage, I believe BD has too much respect for MK (and vice versa) so MK will have more time than this and I'm sure they will share the stage too.  Strangely I seem to be the only one here looking forward to it the nearer it comes. :o
