Worst? I'm getting a feeling that i don't like to post anymore or read it on amit. Only complaing to mark. I'll better go away if it goes on like this..
I'm with lars on this. Don't worry (or rather do worry!! ), I have no intention of stopping to post or read but sometimes, it gets sooo negative. Mostly the comments on the setlist are from people who weren't even there! WHo was there last night, what do YOU think of the fish and the brd? How was it? I bet you loved it!
I know on the "other forum" you couldn't say anything that was slightly negative without your post being edited and that's not good at all, but sometimes it feels like we're are falling into the other extreme here and it's sooo boring. Life is too short to be moaning about things like this me thinks.
Yours faithfully- The President of all things positive.
The reason I didn't go this year was a combination of the dates just not fitting with my travelling/holiday commitments and the fact that, having seen MK 30 odd times, I had a feeling that the set list would be formulaic. Had the set list shown some much needed variation I would have moved heaven and earth to be there. Now, I have purchased several of the SImfy recordings. They are excellent and I am really enjoying listening to MK and his excellent band. But, I am sorry, I come on this forum because we are allowed to praise and criticise in equal measure. The music as played on this tour is brilliant, but the setlist /running order is pretty much what it has been for the last decade and, for me, that falls short of what I'd like. Notwithstanding the fact that I wasn't there last night, I don't think it is rocket science to imagine what TFATB would have sounded like - after all I heard it several time on the last tour - and it is a dull song that, to me adds nothing to the overall vibe of this setlist and, in fact detracts considerably from the mood set by either GL or even the new version of DG which it has replaced. This band has practiced TMTS and OES so why not throw one of them in just for a bit of variety and to cheer us up.
So. Sorry if you think I am being negative. I have been pretty positive about lots of things on this tour and still regard MK as a living legend whose music I have played just about every day. But he doesn't get everything right .
Sorry too if you find reasoned criticism "soooooboring" but I bet its more interesting than just reading review after review that says everything is brilliant when it isn't. If this was just an arselickers forum I wouldn't bother coming on. The fact that we can all say what we are feeling is what makes it interesting.
