What does this person know anyway? - some big words but probably not a big die-hard fan like some of us!!

Although not only die-hard-fans should be allowed to write concert reviews. I think if some neutral person writes about a concert, it might even get more worthy and valuable than the usual "fan-boy" talk. I for my part can understand some of the points he made indeed - from a neutral point of view.

100 % agree with LE

It's very interesting to have some "objective" point of view.

When I listen to Marks' music, I often say "voowwww !!!"
and if I made it listen to a friend of mine, a colleague, someone of my family, my wife (....) , he/they/she says : "and ? what's the deal ? when will the song really start..." you know this kind of things...

Two years ago when I left Glasgow that early Monday morning  after the 2 shows with Bob Dylan, I bought a local newspaper to read the review.
There was an article about Dylan playing in Breahead arena but not a single word on MK.
I believe that was The Telegraph, I can't be sure 100% because I'm not familiar with scottish newspapers.
Well I'm not surprised to see when there's a review it's a negative one.

The local "quality" newspaper for the Glasgow area is The Herald, formerly The Glasgow Herald.  I think I posted a link to their review in the thread for the concert.
