Maybe Mark himself did write on all the boxes.

LE
I wonder if he wrote himself the number of swiss, irish and portuguese shows...  :o

It is indeed a strange tour in many ways:

Some of the usual venues excluded
Some of the usual cities being excluded (Munich, Manchester e.g.)
Some countries being excluded too, despite this being only a European tour.

I realise planning a tour depends on various factors like venue availability etc but surely with so many differences on this tour it is certainly more than a little surprising.

Mine arrived today.

Sincerely i'm a bit disappointed. I think for the price they could have aded some kind of booklet with photos from studio recording sessions, more information about the album itself (although Guy already provides plenty) or the recording methods, gears, etc.

This kind of information is very valid for the targeted buyers of these kind of box sets.

Nevertheless I'm glad I bought it.

the booklet has just the lyrics, all the credits together without expecifications and pictures of guitars, thats all.

pretty boring and simple, the worst booklet ever.
You might get lucky, now and then

Poor us... My guess is that the record company doesn't feel the need of doing something better, because MK sells well anyway...

Well, if you think it better, Eric Clapton booklets are usually poorer than MK

Not received yet, still waiting! I wonder if I was late in ordering from MK.com. Late July early August I think.
But I got the regular version and  the album is not bad. But I still have doubts if it is brilliant. And why double? Both CDs are 90 minutes! Maybe he could leave out two weak songs and offer it as a single CD. And then give them together with the rest bonus tracks. I really don't get it.
Come on, it is not funny anymore.
