I've just finished your article about that night , and what is interesting is that I went ,9 days after the concert you re talking about,to see DS in Paris Bercy.
 I was 21, and for me too , it was the first time I would be able to see MK live. My sister, a friend and I took a bus full of DS fans from Dijon to see this concert.
I was very excited and even a bit nervouse ... after spending hours watching and listening to Alchemy , I was hoping to be able to witness the same energy, feeling....
Well, as we all know now , that was not going to happen ... but to be honest , I was so happy to be there, see them play...finally hear SOF live , that ,as a huge fan and an amateur guitar player , I had a very good time.
I've been able to see MK several time after but I'll always have the feeling of having missed the "best years" for live (for DS period).
My idea of heaven is a place where the Tyne meets the Delta, where folk music meets the blues.
