John Illsley on Tour

[dmg]

Not really disappointed I didn't go.  John is a nice guy but I like him in the band playing bass and backing vocal only.  He does not appear as a band leader IMO and the whole thing is a little disjointed.  The main attraction is Mark's songs, followed by JI (as founder member of DS) and yet on stage everyone else tries to steal the limelight.

I, on the other hand, was very glad that I went, because it was really great fun!  The two guitarists were both very loud, however, and sometimes out of tune and the timing wasn't great, but very entertaining without trying to copy MK like tribute bands do.   I missed MKs beautiful, delicate guitar on songs like WDYTYG, though.   They did do a great job of entertaining the audience, though!   

That's the Val I know and love!  I thought we were agreeing on way too much lately!
