What is the meaning of "gezapig"? (about Sultans..) Some mistakes here. It seems MK played Pedal Steel guitar during one song if you believe this...
And it was also not quite charming what was said about MK's singing during R&J...

mmm, not sure what you read there, it was all positive, mainly that the straits were simply not as strong live as they were on record, and that they actually start to prefer the solo songs.
"gezapig" mmm, means, "laidback"

terwijl een neuzelende Knopfler vocaal weinig bijbracht en ook in zijn vingerwerk de essentie vergat.

De uiterst gezapige versie van 'Sultans of Swing' willen we eveneens snel vergeten.

was what lead me to my opinion. But never mind, hey I really do not give too much on newspaper reviews these days! The reviews of the folks around here, who are much more skillful and into it, are much more important to me!

All the best,

and the reviews are excellent in 80% of the cases, i remember far more negative reviews in past tours.
interesting evolution.

I read both the belgium and german reviews. The belgium one in the Standaard started a little negative about an old rockstar, seating etc. but ended ok, in the Morgen the journalist didn't write real positive. The germans understand it way better !
