Unfortunately at the show I saw last year (the first Glasgow show) Mark didn't play with Dylan at all, that only started a few nights later- but it was still well worth going! So if you've got the chance to go, take it!!

Oh man, thanks for all the encouragement! I probably should do my best to go see it regardless of homework and prices. I'm trying to save my money, but... then again, what else should money be saved for but to see MK live?
I guess I should realize that even if it's the same setlist I've seen hundreds of times on Youtube, it'll still be a completely new experience seeing it in person.
And Ingrid, I agree that MK's playing on BD's songs last tour was great. I listen to the bootlegs of Bob's songs just to hear Mark's guitar. ;D

He won't do too many tours anymore, keep that in mind. I mean at long sight. He's 62 now and (usually) needs two between the tours. Although he has toured 2010, 2011, now 2012 and for sure next year 2013, so my argument is maybe a little weak...  ;D

hi LE,

I agree with you in a way, he is not the youngest anymore  ;), but maybe that will be the reason for doing more shows than before. Kind of "last minute panic"  ;)  ;)
Sorry if that sounds mean to you....it`s the heat, we are not uses to such a heat here in Nothern Germany  ;)

That's two days sunshine in a row we've had here.  Time to ditch the cashmere jumper I think! 8)

I heard it a couple of days ago and I must say I was most unimpressed!   It sounds like hundreds of other blues songs he and many other bluesmen have done - nothing original at all.  I hope the rest of the album is better.   MK's album is much more impressive imo.

There is one 14 minutes song about the Titanic, apparently inspired by the movie...

A Night to Remember was a far better film - quite moving at times too - which was also at least historically accurate as well instead of focussing on the romance between the two leads.

I like Early Roman Kings for what I was able to hear so far (there was this stupid movie trailer with very much shooting and talking noise... I think it is classic blues of course, yeah, but Bob still has it, and he mixes classic blues obviously with some Mexican accordion if I heard it correctly... I will give the album a try of course... He did long songs already, "Highlands" for example, and it is good fun to listen to all those lyrics...
