Apparently he had to take a break from the Forum and that is understandable !!

Interesting:

DVD's of tours seem so passé. Mark's next visual release promises to be different.

 :hmm

Is it a diplomatic way to say that MK's DVDs aren't selling well?

seems just a confirm of the coming documentary about the tour

Strange manner to do so.
I hate live doc because 9 times out 10 it is just butchering the music...

I think that they feel that a documentary with live shots is more interesting from the artistic point of view than a live DVD alone...

Mike Buck NC USA: "Mark's next visual release promises to be different." Ahem. Ummm.... What?! Is something in the pipeline apart from soundtrack work?

Well why not. I would love to see a recent documentary on MK's work!!

I love documentaries about Mark and his music, especially with excerpts from concerts and behind the scenes.    :)

Old documentaries, such as the wonderful BBC Arena in 1980 (on Alchemy DVD / Blu Ray, geat feature !) tend to take their time and hence give 90% or 100% of songs they show. BBC Arena brought for instance near complete and wonderful versions of Down To the Waterline and Where do you think you're going. But newer documentaries tend to show you small bits only, which is HIGHLY frustrating. I don't want to see 10 seconds of Hill Farmer's ! I want to see all of it ! And to be honest after Life in Songs, I don't need another documentary with the same old lame anecdotes. To me a HD version of a full show is not passé at all - it would be great.... but it seems only us buy such filmed shows... what I find it hard to believe is that a documentary would sell better than an concert ?!

A concert would be wonderful, I agree, but failing that a documentary would be a good second best.   I just love seeing Mark and hearing him talk (I love his speaking voice) and seeing what he and the band get up to whilst on tour. Better that than nothing at all!   :)

Madrid release - yes! 

To be perfectly honest I can't be bothered with an interview DVD again.  I can see it all now: sitting next to a mixing desk in BG, looking uneasy, stuttering, talking really slowly, same old jokes...  Yep, a documentary with Mark is usually quite uncomfortable viewing.

No reason why it couldn't have a concert and a doc.Seeing as the tour wasn't that interesting in the end with fewer and fewer songs from tracker being played and with the blogs I am not sure what else i need to know about it.

indeed rock documentaries back in the days like "Don't look back" for example were very interesting because they were the only stuff we could get from a tour, but now in Internet times with daily diaries, infos by social networks , etc.......what "mystery" from backstage could we learn from a doc ?
at least if it was a bonus from a live gig why not, but alone.....

Yes me too Throttle !! I think interviews from any Artist I appreciate are always highly interesting!! Sure I would have liked to have a DVD on Tracker concerts but as always with MK, one must be satisfied with what he decides to offer us!! Same thing with the setlists!!
