His first one is much more a experiment, and the About Face album kind of filled a gap during the Pink Floyd's dispute by Roger/David. David never played those material after 1985 (with only one exception)Mark was/is a active musician that released, in average, an album/tour on every 2 years (I know, there are exceptions).Post 2006 David's releases are way better than Mark's. Every album was followed by a live DVD ("On An Island" tour have 2 DVDs) plus easter eggs, interviews and a lot of interesting stuff. However, note that the gap between DG's releases: 2006, 2015, 2024 (1978 and 1984 doesn't count). So, every tour was an EVENT. Every tour was a celebration and every "albun/tour" was prepared to have a LOT of material.When Mark started his solo career, after a 4 years gap, he released a epk, VHS and a CD.During the release of STP, there was a great documentary about MK (never released officially) + the album.I cannot affirm if Ed was THE guy with an eye (aka inteligence) for it because, since PC start to manage him, only standard material was released.What I am trying to tell is that, IF Mark had very few solo albums, maybe his released could be more "Gilmorized".In my opinion, I prefer more albums than live records.However, MK solo releases could be better.Good post.I got to see MK live in 96. 97, 98, 01, 02, 05, 06, 07, 08, 10, 11, 12, 15 and 19. And I personally think the solo records are consistently excellent, with a few duff tracks. We also got piles of direct live downloads. The only thing we really missed out on was a high quality solo live dvd/blu-ray.were you not at the hurlingham show in 09? i could swear i remember meeting up...
