Its not the first time MK plays a private concert for money...

I think it was during Shangrila tour that he played for bankers in London, and also a setlist full of DS songs.

And whats that money for? I mean, does he need to do it? I dont know and dont mind, he

Hitchcock in and White out. I suspect Chris and the Straits has seriously pissed MK off.

For sure.... and I find his feeling very right....

Who says "the fans" want to hear all these DS songs? I'm a fan. I have no desire to hear Money for Nothing again.

MK has been playing decreasing numbers of DS songs since 96, and yet people keep coming back. If they weren't happy, they wouldn't.

[Pottel]

who says he bags the money? i believe he is like gilmour, giving money to charity without publicising it.

Usually his compass works very well (I like what he says about talent shows), but here it twirled a bit (and more so when he played for the bankers in 2005).

He could at least have donated the money from the RR event to this Rhino initiative

It makes me still a strange feeling when I read that Mark plays for a corporate or "1000

[Rail King]

I have no problem with the fact that he plays for Range Rover, or for bankers. If they want to hear him, cool! What disturbs me is that he lets them tell him what he should play.

I think that he is not told to.  When you have such offer it is implicit that the public you play for would not enjoy the solo stuff as much as the big hits.
Mark is in a postion to turn it down if he doesn't feel to play that game. he plays for the pleasure of the public and this public is not the usual one.
It would make no sense to accept and play the solo stuff leaving the public unsatisfied. Mark like to play for an happy audience. And his lucky to have otherwise appreciative one for the solo stuff.

But even then the biggest ovations he get them mainly for the performed DS stuff, R&J, SOS and TR.
