First post!
Well he didn't disappoint at the RAH last night, but then he never does. It remains an absolute privilege to see him perform live, surrounded by a band of exceptionally talented musicians, especially on what may be his last tour on this kind of scale.
A few observations, in no particular order:
- Plenty of reminders of the album 'On the night'
- Really good to hear 'On every street' and 'Once upon a time in the west'
- A third track from DTRW might have been nice, but you can't please everybody. I agree with 'Dance Floor' as a suggestion, or 'One song at a time'
- Saxophone on 'Your latest trick' was outstanding. Take a bow Graeme Blevins.
- MK's voice isn't quite what it used to be, and he isn't quite as mobile on stage these days.
- Amusing hearing middle-aged men shouting "I love you Mark!"
- For atmosphere/experience, you just can't beat the RAH. Not sure the O2 will be quite the same.
Now to decide whether to get a ticket for Nimes in July!
