David Gilmour

Yes, but Sturgill is better than the pensioner.

I’ll let you know, I’ve got tickets to see him at Hammersmith Odeon (Alchemy). I love a bit of country. My favourite country artist Hayes Carll has a new album coming out with a band called The Heathens. The 2 songs Ive heard are great.

I think you’ll enjoy it. He’s not strictly country. I don’t know how I’d describe him. Lots of different styles, a bit like MK (but not anything like MK )

i heard rumours that more shows are planned for 2025. but got no further details. keep your hopes up, Rmarquest821, HIGH HOPES

With these prices I don't mind if he spends the next years playing live with non stop, not too much people can afford to pay 150 euros for crap tickets and more than 300 for the best seats.

Ticket prices are ridiculous these days. In a way I'm pleased that MK stopped touring, would have really annoyed me if he would have gone down the dynamic pricing route.

Fortunately the artists I like seem to be sensible. Got tickets for Sturgill Simpson today, £37 each (£45 after all the service charge nonsense).

I've booked tickets for Transatlantic Sessions for £39.75  and also for John McCusker, Mike McGoldrick and John Doyle for £21.50, both next February.   

Oh wow, that sounds exciting - enjoy!

David's fingers have finally gotten slower. He was in great form in 2016

he was never the speedy notes trasher. he IS the feels man. and still is imho. the nights are progressively getting better. Greenies left and right, sure, but the man is 78 after all. i would LOVE mk still playing today, even if it was greenies only.
most of what i have seen/heard is amazing. are there mistakes, sure, but i do not want a "clean" performance.

I know Mark and David are friends, but, I just can't imagine Mark listening to Pink Floyd, I wonder what his favourite album would be?

[herlock]

I'm quite sure that Mark loves the Wish you were album, his own LOG album is quite similar in structure: one epic prog piece (TR/Shine On), One melancholic balad (the title tracks), and bitter songs about the industry / life in general (WTTM / ID, Have a cigar / It never rains).

I also imagine Mark liking the classic DSOTM. Guy has expressed love for the album.

I don't imagine Mark being that a fan of Animals of the Wall, this is a bit politcally too far-off for him, but I'm quite sure he loves Comfortably Numb, with the best guitar solo of all times !

I can also imagine David, and also Roger (as an anti-capitalist and anti-war guy), admiring the songwriting of TR and BIA.

Mark and David are different in style, but they have a lot in common: same generation, same consensual opinions and discrete approach, each of them having a very distinctive and unique guitar sound, and focused on quality recording.

Both of them have openly expressed huge respect for each other. A duet would be fantastic !

He doesn't miss playing live AT ALL...

Seems he's not recording either as Guy is busy with things not related to MK new music...

[Robson]

I think Mark also likes the albums A Momentary Lapse Of Reason and The Division Bell.

This we do not know.

He has been recording a lot of music lately, Mark can relax now.
