SPOILERS INSIDE!   LOTS OF!    WARNING!   SPOILERS!   AS I SAID ALREADY.....









I thought I could maybe try a review of one of my best musical experiences so far: The first night at the RAH 2010 was a dream, awesome and phantastic. It is only three days gone, but I am still in that traditional and mindblowing building in my thoughts. The possibility to download that show so fast is just another point in my dreamingly condition at the moment, so here it is:

It was a very nice and sunny, warm day in England, very much different to the rainy and cold weather in Germany where my plane took off at Bremen at 15:00, with a 45 min delay! London got me from the first minute I was in the Terravision-Bus from Stansted, I recognized at least three new Olympic Games Arenas being built. The traffic was awesome, and so my mood was: Looking forward to my 14th  MK show this night. At Victoria Station, I fed up with searching the right bus to the Hall pretty  fast, and decided to take a taxi. 10 pounds and 10 minutes later I was there: The famous Hall with some folks queueing here and there. It took me 30 seconds to find Miriam, who got my second ticket, at the stage door. The story about the mk.com ticket fuzz has already been told, so I skip that. Just let me mention that Paul Crockford is a much friendlier and decent person in reality than some early posts from forum posters might indicate. He asked us while queueing if everything was alright and was willing to share some information about the download thing. So kudos to him, he did his job very well in my opinion.

Meeting Isaac, Pottel, Nelly, Jeroen, BBB, DS1985 and some others was a pleasure. A very relaxed and joyful atmosphere in this little RAH cafe, where a lot of heavy priced alcohol was on stock it seemed. I wasn't too thirsty and just chatted with Jeroen, Miriam and Isaac, who got a little lesson about German geography (Bavaria is Germany, too!) We missed the opening act, which was not a too big problem for me. And then, at around 8:15, we entered the Hall! Wow, what a place. I was thinking about that famous Bob Dylan set in the

Thank you, LE!   I really enjoyed reading your detailed review.    My concerts have been over for some days now, but I still can't get them out of my mind and I really hope some of the ones that I attended will be available for download eventually.

Like you, I was very impressed with Mike McGoldrick and I will buy some of his albums.   He is often on "Transatlantic Sessions" with Phil Cunningham, so I hope to find some recordings of those programmes.   I think Mike could very well become another of my "heros"!   He did say "hello" to me from the stage after all!   ;D

Great review, LE ;D ;D  I really enjoy reading those little details that make each concert special and different.  I love the part about the lady shouting "YEAH" every time MK sang 'do you think you could love me, Mary' --- very funny :lol
It's hard sometimes but pretty much it's alright

LE,

thanks for taking the time to write your descriptive details of the show.  I always enjoy reliving MK experience vicariously from now until the end of the tour from other fans.  It helps temporarily energenize and excite me again.  Everyone seems to have wonderful tidbits of their experience to share.  Keeping up with MK on tour is almost like a full time job for me!  All the diaries, forums, pictures and recordings to collect.  What a fun full time job it is !!

Thanks again,

Love Expresso

Yummy cake!

I have just finished writing a detailed report of my trip to London. I thought the best way to share it would be a blog entry:

It was a good trip obviously. So was mine. It was a pleasure to meet you. Good writing btw. I liked the "baloney sandwich". See you in Hamburg!

Nice to read from you

I was happy to meet at last some fellow chaps from about everywhere in the world on the Stanhope or on front of the stage. It was funny to think that actualy very few of us were using their mothertongue while speaking english...
