A friend that came with me to Belgrade, only knew a few DS hits and couldn't even pronounce Mark's full name right, but when Marbletown started he couldn't believe what he was listening to. He had his eyes filled with tears. I'm talking about a guy that probably went there to listen to Sultans of Swing and Brothers in Arms, but in the end got much more than that. An experience to be treasured in memory for years to come!

I totally understand your friend's "Come to Mark" moment  ...I got to hear MK play Marbletown twice last year, and LOVED it!!!  (Even though it's not one of my faves from the album...)

The post in Serbian portal announcing the gig http://www.telegraf.rs/jetset/676233-mark-nofler-veceras-u-areni-video

And if it isn't perfectly and hilariously ironic; might be funny, because at the and it says: "Here you can see how he's played SOS in Bucharest"  ;D

LOL They should add "And cry, because you'll wont see it"  :-*

Sure, but on one person delighted by new discoveries, are at least tens with "this would be my first and the last MK's concert....u fool me once and such".

Well in that case I'd say to those other people to get a new set pair of ears. You cannot deny that it was a good show. It wasn't easy for me (an Albanian) to take a 350km journey to Belgrade, which is the heart of a country we've been in war with only 14 years ago, just to attend a concert. But was it worth it? Hell yes!

He swapped (or messed up?) the lyrics of Privateering at the Belgrade show, anyone noticed? The fourth verse ("Britannia needs.." ) is played first, then later the third ("Look here there's my Privateer she's small but...")

Funny, I'd never have noticed!  I did notice that he completely lost the lyrics of R
"...and I blew up the radio in pretty short order."
