Dear friends, I had really great time, both concerts were very nice, great performance by the musicians. I have heard Alan Clark some times live in Italy and on so many bootlegs...LOL...But I heard him for the FIRST time fully in RAH ( LE sorry I'm running out of capital letters limit now). The fans who have been to many DS concerts know what I mean - for me it was the first time. He was brilliant.
Chris was brilliant too, as usual - a real artist on the stage, not one of the best saxophonist only. I could not see the rest of the Band because I love these two more. Val I can truly understand your opinion here.
I didn't notice misleaded by the name of the Band people on both concerts - I think the audience was aware that Mark will not play there. The audience was very warm, noisy and happy, they were on their feet most of the time. There were not screaming "I want Mark" people except one boy who was quite drunk and made the bodyguards uneasy - aproched the stage and told the Band "Please, tell Mark..."
At Under The Bridge Club I was surprised to see so many young people dancing and singing. After the concert some of them came to greet Chris. One boy about 20 years old said he was happy to hear something from the spirit of the 80-iest which is great and which is missing on the contemporary music.
I was so happy to meet BBB again. also Jbaent, Havier and other fans from Spain.
The truth is that I'm very confused about some things.
Don't know what to mail Chris or if to suggest him to change the name.
Sometimes it's difficult to be an official fan site - a big responsibility.
As most of you are sure, I'm not quite sure the main problem is the name - there are other bad things involved here too...
Chris is very pure, sincere and loyal about his relationship with Mark and Guy. He has told me many times about Mark's genius talent like a songwritter and told that this time too. He is one of the nicest people in the world, really special and unique as a percon. That's why I feel so frustrated when the people accuse him unfairly and put him in the wrong category...
