Boothbay concert 15 years ago

It's always great to see MK performing in such a different environment. I saw him in the Chalke Valley History Festival (the mud festival) and it was such a great experience, specially since he played "Occupation Blues" for the first and last time live, such a great surprise!

Mud being the underlying word! It was everywhere! Seeing MK look like a typical 'Country Gent' there was amazing and priceless - flat cap, wax jacket and wellys on!!!

Rewatched it as I was doing work tonight. It's great.

I think it's particularly nice to hear Richard's electric guitar parts a bit more clearly. Sometimes he gets hidden behind other sounds I think. The version of DWB is really great-it just shows how important the bouzouki part is.

Couple of interesting choices not to include Guy though. No organ parts in PfP or DG. He's played organ in both in some of the smaller gigs before.

Welcome Elliott, great first post! I agree with you it was brilliant to hear Richard accompany MK perhaps like you say a bit clearer than we are all used to as he is often 'lost' in the mix at a concert! Love his style of playing....

Not sure why that showed up as my first post. I haven’t posted tons but that’s most definitely not my first.

Thanks for the welcome though!

Such a beautiful set.

Rewatched this a few days ago and have to say the one thing that stood out for me was that his vocal carried the show at times.  We even got the Paraguay-eee moments!  It was very good that night and surprising to see how much that has also declined since then.  R&J simply doesn't work without the full band though in that he can't pull it off with his voice.  The last time he sang that well was Mandela show 1988.

Yes, I personally enjoy MK without drums. It puts his playing and singing into another perspective...

Exactly!

Yeah that would both be me. Think I typed that message from my laptop but normally post from my phone. How strange. Sorry to cause confusion.

Does anyone have good photographs from the Boothbay show?

Ok so now that we know what your profession is please tell us why you ask for them?

I guess for the MK guitar collection catalogue as she explained in the other thread.

Yes exactly - I was just trying to track down photos of a guitar that was played at Boothbay. To be clear, we license and pay for all photos in our catalogues - nothing would ever be used without permission. But no worries, we managed to find that one

Thank you. Are you into MK's music or is it "just a job" for you if I may ask. I think it's nice to see that you chose AMIT for your research.
