Once upon a time at the O2 in London was sublime and I still regularly listen to it.

Some weeks ago I played one of the 2019 recordings and realized it was a great show, but leaded most of the time from his band. I had the impression of being listening to an unnamed band who had with them MK singing and playing guitar occasionally... Most of the times are his musicians the ones that carry the song from start to finish, with Mk popping in and out. I had the impression that in some songs, you could take out MK and it would had sounded prett similar.
You might get lucky, now and then

Who cares about mistakes when you're lucky enough to be in the same room as the man creating the soundtrack to your life and giving you peace of mind by listening to his great music. Not me! I have always felt blessed to be part of this amazing community that appreciates and worships his wonderful work.

Beautiful words KnopfleRick. I fully agree.

This is true. It's always a pleasure to see him live. But that doesn't mean we should ignore that he can't play at the level he accostumed us to. I have suggested that he should do an acoustic concert, something like 15 songs (follow the ribbon, long cool girl, stp, dwb, hfof, r&j, and others...) so he doesn't have to play demanding stuff. It would be lovely

I don't regret any 2019 show I attended but I can't listen any live show at home.

And I don't get with this "acoustic set wish". The worst part of the gig were the acoustic playing. Acoustic guitar is more demanding.
So give him a Les Paul and an overdrive instead.

I completely disagree. The acoustic part is where he feels more comfortable, you can see it in his face. I don't remember Mark making any mistake or feeling uncomfortable while playing any of the acoustic pieces (with the exception of forgetting the lyrics to HFoH once or twice). I thought they were all brilliantly played! The electric tunes, on the other hand, not really.

Paul Simon, 80, with decent playing and singing. Not how he used to, of course, but damn! Can you imagine MK at 80 doing solo guitar stuff?
Thank you for this. Great to see PS again. Always loved his music and live shows...

This was amazing. Paul Simon is very underrated as a guitar player, I think. There's a solo piece on the album So Beautiful or So What that is just incredible. His voice is still great after all these years (pun intended). Mark, though, isn't blessed with a beautiful voice (you know what I mean) and mumbles a lot, so I don't think a solo perfomance like this would work that well. I'm really curious how the new album will sound, though.

"River of Grog" sounded pretty OK to me, also the solo version of "Marbletown".    I still love MK's voice too, btw.   :)

I've always liked the timbre of MK's voice. He always matched me with his music and lyrics.

Totally agree with you, Robson! :clap
Mark's voice is so unique and sounds so natural. I can't think of anyone other than him singing his great songs. His voice got even better with age and that is very rare.
I hope one day he will release an album with just him and his guitar(s) (acoustic and electric).
