It's a very good performance but... I don´t like it. Not because it's not well played, not because it's not good...

it's because it's too short. I don't see this song in a live concert, it would end before you notice it already started... I don't know if MK would play it longer with any sort of arrangements, but I dont see it...

jbaent, I still miss the Spanish acoustic showcase MK used to do.   :D

Clever thing Mark has done in writing Beryl; a C21st Sultans that is shorter, easier to play and means he doesn't have to play the real one any more because it sounds so similar.  All he has to do is mention a few times phrases like "a throwback to Sultans" or "the hi-hat start to it like Sultans" or "that Straits sound again" and it'll be enough to satisfy some.  Yes, a clever thing.

Hum, there was already a sort of SOS clone, it was called Lady Writer  :think

...but the mix in the german show was better - the drums were stronger actually and better played, the bass-lines much more stronger...

Interesting to see that Marcus Cliffe played bass on the German show, while Dave Bronze played on the two other shows. I can´t remember when Marcus was part of the promo-band the last time, must be about 10 years ago.

Very true but in those days they didn't have such a catalogue of songs to choose from and - guitarists butt in here please - LW isn't really an easier to play substitute to satisfy the fans.  :)

Dave Bonze Shows were before the german gig, maybe he had other job.
Cliffe´s Bass is really powerful when you listen at huge fine speakers on the german show (i am the only person which like this version better - my destiny heh heh) more drive - including drums. and voice is low too on the others ... btw
switch the Bremen version in the Paris studio and all would say: great

The sound may have been better on the German show but that's all.  There was a distinct lack of fills making the performance feel empty and less lively.  Also the solos were pretty rusty and his vocal poor.  His vocal wasn't a lot better in the French version either TBH.  He sings it in a completely different key and it just sounds weird!

Time is the key in all factors...

Time in the sense he didn't have a lot of time to do any Breaks/solo's by the TV show - but I'm pretty sure he will 'Branch' out somewhere 'Live' during this excellent of numbers but it certainly won't be at the end because Beryl HAS to finish like it does....

Yes the key did not suit him at all, as he had an even 'gruffer' voice for the low parts!!

Anyway Rehearsals start soon and I reckon things are just gonna be fine and I can't wait...... :wave :clap

I see as per Guy's forum that the performance we saw was indeed a second take.......
