Ingos blog has just highlighted this vid which is much better quality than the older version.

 

Mark at the end (5:40) "..appalling sound ... its murder playing up there..." lol!

[Pottel]

awesome, are these new images? can't remember images from this (lame--> their own words) performance

[Jackal]

Fantastic footage. I'm sure there are loads of stuff like this around.

But, man, they were pretty corny those days ...

[schmonka]

Corniness aside - the sound from back then was fantastic!

[Best Brown Baggies]

Superb find. Great quality. I've got the bootleg of this, but never
seen the footage!
I like Mark's two legged jump into the air
at the end of the song. It would be great to see
some moves like that on the next tour.

Cheers. BBB

The best thing (ever) is that column that hide Pick Withers behind....

MK, such a handsome guy!!

You gave me a great lol moment Jackal.  Thanks.

That's some great stuff there - the energy just leaps from the stage to the audience and literally lifts them to moments of ecstasy.  So sad that he is so static and devoid of any energy now.  The only time he sweats now is when the temperature is high on stage and not because he's exerting any energy and the audience sure don't feel anything from that the way we used to.

Well, he is 62 now and perhaps you wouldn't have the same energy as you had when you were 30 either, especially performing 80+ shows in three months or so and with a painful back injury!   Anyway all the shows I was at were extremely well received!

[Love Expresso]

When I listen to all those Simfy shows from Spain/Portugal, I must say that these audiences are not far from ecstasy, too. Must be a "non-seated" thing. I often thought that since 2001, since MK prefers seated shows, the ecstacy has gone somehow. Pity. Nevertheless I think that it is not a too good sign
that you sweat like that after such a short festival short, let it be 20 or 30 minutes. I really think it is better that he puts the energy more into his singing and music nowadays.

He was certainly energetic in the video clip, but I have to say that I much prefer his performances these days!   

[goldenheart96]

Yes, the seated/standing thing is a factor, as well as the country. I'm sure GA shows in Spain are MUCH more energetic than in Germany 
Oh well, MK is not Bruce Springsteen (where the heck does HE get all the energy from? I think he's the same age as MK...), and as long as the mood, the quality and the music is right...  I'd prefer MK not to play seated again, though

oh yes, last tour I attended shows in Sweden and in France. Worlds apart.
