MK was on top form again and to be fair as a non Dylan fan he was blooming good as well. I swear MK has upped his performance for this tour. I managed to get into an argument with some people behind me who thought it was a good time to have a loud chat while MK was on.  After alot of swearing and puffed up chests I got an apology, which was strange as the chaps talking were there to see MK.  I went with a friend who last saw MK in 92 at earls Court with me and had given up on him after OES.  He walked out saying MK was amazing and Dylan was years past his best and that it was sad seeing him like that. I was interviewed for winkball.com as I left.

While last night wasn't a night which I had tickets for, I still walked down to the Apollo to say hello to a few folks. Sadly it was only Dylan fans as I don't know any of you yet. I saw Mark's band arrive in silver vans and I assume Mark a little later in a black Merc. I was chatting with someone on Marks crew and Guy came out to talk to him too. I thought of asking for a photo but I'm not really the type for that but it was nice to see him. I saw the catering come in a little later and it was quite funny being used to reading the tour diaries and the daily mention of the catering, to see the other side of it.

Many thanks for your review, Banjo!  I'm glad you had a good time!  I have been reading elsewhere that the sound was really bad for both bands.  Is that so? 

Anyway I'm looking forward to reading some more reviews soon - pleeeeeeeaaase!  ::)   ;D

MK's vocals were completely lost on most songs sadly, otherwise it was pretty good.

The show was great.
Great venue with a nice atmosphere but not the best for music. Too small. Too loud and too many people going in and out, at least from where I was. Monday morning, my hears still hurt. Maybe the feeling from standings is different. 
A wonderful evening anyway.
I didn't see anyone, my apologies BBB, Millionaire and arabia. It's definitely the way I travel that ruins every meeting. Always on the edge, short connection times, and I don't have to queue because I always go for seats. Same happened in Glasgow. At least there I actually saw dmg  :) Will try to improve myself next tour.  :-[

The show was great, MK obviously happy to be home. In great shape. The sound was too loud for electric guitar but was wonderful during acousitc guitar songs. The highlight ? No surprise, I found Marbletown was the best ever. That song is like good'ol Tunnel of love from the BIA tour : you can pick up anyone, get blown away and really think it's the best you've ever heard.

Did I say Mark played so well ? No STP glitch  ;) 

I was impressed during the whole but especially one moment was amazing : Don't think twice, it's alright.
We all know Bob plays guitar on that one   :disbelief . I saw in Geneva and Roma : there's nothing to do, we could'nt hear Mark's guitar.
Different in London. I really saw Mark's genius. He was really following Bob's guitar playing and was trying to save the song. The Alchemist was back in Hammersmith  and he turned bob's lead (guitar) into gold.
