That Ain't Workin' - My New Book

[JF]

I received my book yesterday.
I am at work today and tomorrow
I will try to write and publish a little review if I find the time...

I revived the book earlier this week and have been through it a couple of times.  It tells the story of a worldwide tour, seen from the inside. With all your previous commments in mind, from this and other threats Chris, it only emphasizes and supports both the text per legs and each picture. On that springs to mind right of the bat is: people think touring is one everlasting party, but in reality it’s a lot of waiting on empty spaces.any pictures supports this statement. I am so glad I have the book, a must for all DS fans and alikes.

Thank you Chris for making this available for us.

Thanks. Very much appreciated.
Yes, there are a lot of photos of us hanging around.
You can have fun on days off, but otherwise the number one priority is the show, the many thousands of people who have paid a lot of money for tickets, travelled, booked hotels etc...
I couldn't play the On Every Street show (2+ hours) with a hangover or lacking sleep.

I received the book as well, and it's stunning! This and the Christie's book from last year are super valuable, a must-have for fans!

The book last week and the photos are great.
I would have loved to attend a concert of that tour where I think Mark played at his best.

boring af, but can only add how amazing i thought the book was, went through it sitting in my car on the supermarket parking lot as i had taken it out of the letterbox on my way there and could not wait until i got back home...luckily i was charging my EV at the same time so it was a win-win situation...

[Chris W]

Not 'boring'. I appreciate the feedback. Thank you.
More books heading out the door today.

Hello Chris. Liked a lot the book! The text summarise well everything without going too deep, well done.

I found two small mistakes. Where it says, for May Madrid gig "Estadio Vincente Calderone" is "Vicente Calderón. The first and erroneous name sounds Italian and Mr Vicente Calderón, històric president of Atletico Madrid football club was Spanish.

The other is regarding the football t-shirt MK is wearing in Barcelona. It says "FC Español ", the correct name of the team is RCD Español. FC is for Barcelona, the famous team where Cruyff and Messi played.

Hmm yes, I don't know how that happened. Maybe the pesky Apple spell check, which changes words after you have written them without warning.
I googled all the details extensively, but had to make changes to the text right at the last minute and that's where the spell check may have happened (wrongly).
Annoyingly, if you google FC Espanyol lots of correct information pages for Espanyol come up, but now I see they all mention RCD Espanyol.

Regarding the Vicente Calderon Stadium in Madrid, I remember reading the wrong "Vincente Calderone" several times, maybe it was wrong in the tour book or maybe in your agendas, I understand that mistake as probably you had it wrong in your all touring information.

I did google all this stuff multiple times in the final weeks of the bookmaking process.
It's most likely an 'e' was added by Apple spell check, which happens to me all the time when typing posts on forums like this, or emails.

It's not only the "e"added but the N in Vicente. I do remember reading the wrong "ViNcente CalderonE" before, that's why I say I think it was written that way somewhere, the tour book or other oficial documents you used at the time. It sounds italian so I think the mistake was done by someone when writting the official document rather than your apple spell check.
