Paul Simon has always been one of my favourite guitar players.

Very underrated because he doesn't play flashy solos on electric.

MK could still do a full show of these type of songs I would say, it's the widdly bits that are problematic...

I remember at Edinburgh Playhouse in 2005 MK playing some songs seated and they were really beautiful, especially "Back To Tupelo".   I enjoyed the seated part of the DTRW show in 2019 too.    I would love him to do a full show with similar types of songs.

 I'm sure the twiddly bits could be problematic too by the time he reaches 80!   ;D

I remember at Boothbay there was some kind of delay with the other musicians and MK was ready to do a full solo show. That would have been great. We've seen little bits and pieces over the years, Marbletown, Secondary Waltz, Sailing to Philadelphia. I'd love to see a full show like that.

Oh, that would be nice if MK would pull the trigger on a solo show. I don't know why he's so insecure about it since every time he performs something solo he absolutely kills it! Sonny Liston on acoustic guitar is a masterpiece, Privateering from the album's press kit was great, and little bits in Tracker interview.

I guess he feels better by shielding himself by using as many good musicians as possible. But it's a real pity we have so little of MK solo stuff.

I actually think Mark has been worse at playing the slower solos lately.  R&J electric solo was shocking in 2019.  He seemed to concentrate really hard on it, shortened it and still manage to mess it up the majority of the time.  I think heeds solos that aren't fast but that have enough pace so that his fingers are kept moving.  Then again I don't think he should do another show at all and the 2019 ones are a painful watch/listen.

I enjoyed all of the shows I attended.  R&J was great at Leeds and Verona. :)

But DMG is talking about his playing condition, not about enjoying the show. I also enjoyed the show I attended, though I can see through my rose-colored glasses and get worried about MK's condition. Playing guitar in front of the public seems to really put a lot of stress on him these days, hopefully, he's gained more confidence in playing since 2019. But his voice has also seen better days... Anyway, it's easy to be hard on aging MK, let's just hope he's better.

Whatever his playing condition, I still enjoy listening to the shows I attended and that's all that matters to me and it's certainly not painful to listen to them.   Some other performances would obviously vary from show to show.
