The negligence of the Alchemy Release - 38 years.

in 2008 he did the contrary : inroducing each musician who added his part each time after being named


Don't remember that hapening in 2008 but I certainly remember that happened at the start of Postcards in 2015....

ah yes you are right. y mistake. it was indeed in 2015
I love the build of the rif by adding each instrument, one after the other

nobody is interested listening to that sitting at home

I love to hear Mark introducing the band and that each instrument stops after being named !

I think the only time I enjoyed it was in 1985 during TOL but that was made interesting by all the noodling around.  Nothing else has come close to that for me.

yes of course it was great in 1985
but what I love during LOG tour is that PB is linked to TOL
in Alchemy we hear what sounds like a TOL intro just right after TYL
but what is really great to hear on LOG bootlegs is the PB outro, then Mark Introducing the band, and then the link to TOL intro.
To me it's one of the highlights of the show so it should have been on the Alchemy release imho

it's far far more interesting musically wise than all same jokes during DWB in solo years imho

"They're all maestros..."
"This guy thinks he's the best in the world, and this guy...maybe not!"
"Mr. Horsepower, Danny Cummings!"
"He can do anything, and he'll also fix your bicycle."

I agree with JF, and I care about the whole experience, even the performance of the musicians, is part of the show. In short, I'm all for a full experience, bootlegs give us that, unfortunately an official release like Alchemy doesn't give us a full experience. If it weren't for the bootlegs, many people including myself would never know what a real LOG tour concert would be like, as well as any DS tour, as all the live releases are missing songs that were played, that is, who had the opportunity to go to the show at the time contemplated the show in its entirety, whoever didn't go, gets what they considered the best moments. This attitude is regrettable, especially when there are ways to launch a complete experience, both from Alchemy and from the OES tour, who knows about the BIA tour.

It will be pretty cool, to discover some very goodsounding BIA gigs again.
There are some cool concerts around, but not often with very good sound-quality. I think of the first BIA show in ex-yugoslavia, Split sports-hall from April 1985. There is a complete and fine show with interesting tracks on it, but it sounds like a recording with a cheap ghettoblaster/cassette recorder. Also Christchurch , NZ, from March 1986, where TR is played. Also a fine show, but again with almost poor to average sound quality. So, we need more of such great live-gigs, wich are filled with great tracks and  enthusiasm of all  musicians in much better sound-quality. So is it possible with todays studio- and hi-fi-technology, to remaster such live-recordings or to give them a better sound-quality ??

But since 2010, we can enjoy full MK concerts

PS. And some of Shangri La tour.

Yes, when the shows are of lesser interest and poorer quality.

The 2010 shows are my favourites.  Great set lists and guitar-playing from MK.  2013 was pretty good too.

He started doing it in Marbletown part way through the tour
