OK sweetsurrender! Maybe we should put this to boil a bit.  :)  Of course it is next to imposiible, because we will never agree on the exact location of the event. And democracy doesn't work in such cases. I mean who can afford the expenses to fly away from home and spend 2-3 days abroad?  Not the majority, I am afraid.  Anyway, if any super rich fan in this site would care to cheap in, I am game!

I think that I get dmg's train of thought. I guess if we are to strip MK of his guitar playing (his strong asset)  and  of his voice (his identifiable but not so strong asset) we have nothing left. A physical presence is simply not enough. Maybe, like Billy Joel, he will compose musical pieces and let others interpret them. But it will not be the same.  But I am growing old and I really don't care about these things as I used to. Play or not play.


After all we have Joan Baez or Metallica that can sing BiA.





Come on, it is not funny anymore.

vgonis - I wasn't expecting that MK would not play guitar at all, or not sing with that very beautiful, warm voice, rather that when his fingers eventually get a bit stiff, due to old age, he will still play beautiful melodies for us, just as he does now, but probably not the long intricate solos that we were accustomed to!   ;)

BTW I didn't realise that you were so old!   I had in my mind a young flibbertigibbet in his 30s!   ;D    It's me who is the really old one, so, of course, I am completely comfortable about anything MK decides to do, except that he keep playing for us and writing beautiful songs!    :)

I know, I know, too much brain cells burnt for this matter.    ;)

 Older. Well older than yesterday is what we are all going to be, except the ones that are meeting the choir invisible today.  ::)

Flibbertigibbet is a Middle English word referring to a flighty or whimsical person, usually a young woman. In modern use, it is used as a slang term, especially in Yorkshire, for a gossipy or overly talkative person.

Really???  ;D

Oh well, that certainly isn't you, vgonis, but it could be ME - but only the part about being from Yorkshire - and perhaps being over-talkative, but definitely not gossipy or flighty and most of all not young, unfortunately!    ;D 

BTW  It was just a word plucked randomly from the air!   I wasn't sure of the meaning, but it sounded good!   It could easily have been whippersnapper, but that wouldn't have fitted either!    ;D   I was too lazy to check the meaning!    ::)

Leaves me wondering, if you pay enough, will you even get songs he hasn't played live ever during his solo carreer, the entire Love over Gold album for example?

First of all, we would take sometime to sort out the exact setlist we would love to hear. In portuguese, there is a dito that says "cada cabe
Love over gold, mind over matter

All the songs from the LOG Album have been played live!!!  :clap

I know, but I was talking about MK's solo tours, with four out of five songs not being played live. And it was just and example  ;)
