I‘m very curious about the JI book. Unfortunately my ordered signed copy has Not arrived yet. I’m wondering how long the shipment will take to Germany.   :think :hmmWaterstones shipped it on Wednesday.  Has anyone experiences with shipment from Uk to Germany?

Waiting for the shipment from Waterstone's in subarctic Canada. Should get here by Christmas...  :think
...Well, he's a big star now but I've been a fan of his for years. The way he sings and plays guitar still bring me to tears...

I had some books shipped and they arrived quickly, but since summer they changed some custom rules, so you might have to pay extra fees and it will take longer.

That is why I cancelled my order with Waterstones and bought it with Amazon.de and received it in two days.
Missed my signature though.

Yes but what do you expect from someone who is not even interested
in releasing his own bluray concerts from so many tours ?

He lives in another dimension



The lattest tours are almost fully available in audio format. This is not an empty glass.

oh please, those crap soundboards with horrible sounds and mixing are laughable at best,
they are in another dimension just like MK, the guitar god who tours with a computer simulation of his own amps (kemper)

everything is in decay, what's next? he tours with an ibanez and not a gibson or a pensa ?

Mike Rutherford is touring with a £100 Squier...

ok, let's go with a £100 Squier and a £100 amplifier, what a nice tour

Mike was in lockdown in South Africa and at the time could only get hold of a £100 squire, but he found he really enjoyed it, so carried on using it. he was practicing the songs for the Genesis tour, he got it because he forgot to take his Clapton Signature Strat, maybe he thought he wouldn't be staying in Cape Town long, but that changed.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

Anyone had bought the audibook, read by Mark Knopfler (the foreword) and John Illsley (the rest of the book)?

I'm curious if it is just an audio digital file or if it is some cds with its case etc.

Anyone?

I don't know but I think audiobooks are usually just a digital file these days.
