Given MKs famous anecdote about Telegraph Road and Rave On you would think MK wouldn’t risk putting one of his own compositions among a load of Buddy Holly songs. That would not end well.

What anecdote?
You might get lucky, now and then

You're right, didn't remember about it and actually I never gave importance to that, that's why I forget it.

Another example of self depreciating Mark.

But Mark knows realy well he wrote good stuff.
The haters are those who write shit

I can get that listening to a great straight rock song which is so good can make you feel that a monumental song like TR make it sounds like pretentious.

All progressive music can be considered like that when you listen to quality straight rock and roll.

If he genuinely felt that about TR, surely he’d never have played it live since that interview.

This was discussed before, but I think Mark simply compares the seemingly overproduced "Telegraph Road" to live, one-take "Rave On", and hence Mark's comments. The studio version of Telegraph really does feel like it took a long time to put it together, maybe even too polished, so the comment is legit. No offence to the song itself, just this particular recording.

It’s a great track, but 100% the wrong thing to stick on a jukebox in a pub.

Has the RAH gig happened - in which case I guess MK didn’t take part?

Not the one related to the charity project, but the usual ones that happen every year in March for the charity with various artists.

As long as the charity project is not released yet, not even announced, there won't any live gig related to the project, if there is any. Depending on the release date of the record if there is a live gig could happen out of that usual period, or just wait until March 23.

Ok cool. I thought there was a night near end march where it hadn’t been decided if mark would play. Or is that something different? Not expecting him to though.

Roger Daltrey played the last night under the "and friends € name, apparently MK was asked to play but didn't.
