Like for Danny's drumming on SOS, some nights I can forget the others instruments to focus just of that, the way it evolves during the song. And on others night enjoy the whole thing with everybody in it (and of course Mark more than the rest ;) ).

+1

Yeah, Danny will be missed...

I noticed Alan wasnt part of the MK and Friends gigs too. . maybe there was a fall out between them long before The Straits?

 was wondering too why Phil Palmer isnt with The Straits anymore yet he is playing with other ex members,

Agree that without John in a DS band it just isnt right. .  I listened to Private Investigations played by The Straits and it seemed to miss the pumping, almost heart beat bass part at the end

Great forum guys. . this is my first post, glad to be here!

Exactly.  If he was there we could always say it was a true reunion.  As it was, it only seemed like a semi.  :o

I still think these 2002 gigs were very nice though; good versions with great energy.

For me another point about The Straits is Steve Ferrone .. i dont think his playing (as great as he is) suits the band at all, it just doesnt sound right to me.

Anyone agree?

I never liked Steve Ferrone. When played with Clapton during the 90's I didnt liked him, and with The Straits, his playing doesnt suits the songs at all, in the contrary...

In the 80s too when MK and Alan were touring with EC.  Coincidently! ;)  It's not what you know, but who you know.

Just incidentally - bass players and drummers aside - one of the US shows of that incredible tour is available at amazon:
