Isn't it phantastic that MK can put out 70 shows and here is his heavy fan base, not only discussing it and having different favourites, but there's also something for everbody! MK really has a lot of ways to make us happy obviously!This thread is great for giving hints into the right direction. Today I listened a lot to some of the shows I hadn't listened before or was not able to listen to before. Now I must say: Padova is really among the best ones! Phantastic Gator Blood as mentioned, but also really awesome Marbletown! That alone makes it worth listening (!) And I prefer Padova's Speedway over Rome because Mike's flute is much more into the zone, but both versions are pretty much the same phantastic! Funny news about Stuttgart and the diverse opinions. As Mrs. Val so much loves Liverpool, I gave it a try more than once (you know, you WANT to love it if this Lady says it's great ... ), and Seattle and Gator Blood from Liverpool are really good!! But over all, Stuttgart I love more. That's just funny. Can't say why, I Used To Could is really powerful (and the dialogue with Richard is great "... everything's too fast for you, Richard".) I compared DOTDS with some of the other versions (YouTube) but from the soundboard, I think the Stuttgart version is really good. When the drums come in, it has really a Dire Straits feel to it... And I realize that I almost always skip Telegraph Road, so the song that is so significant for so many amiters just gives nothing to me anymore - "almost" in this case means that the Padova version is really exceptional good and comes close to the way I wish it to be played. So let's dig deeper and deeper into all this stuff. Suggestions and hints always welcome! Who should one ask if not this special bunch of people that knows so much about it all - more than Guy and Mark themselves I would bet!! LE
someone was talking about paraguay and something mark said during that song in the copenhagen recording.i can now explicitly confirm that he says "..second banking song.."also, during telegraph road i hear a giant violin part at 3:40 for a few seconds, very dramatic and grand, cannot remember hearing that in any other performance...anyone?
Antwerp rocks...
If you were in Rome on July 13, you would've had a taste of good ol' arena rock (well, almost)....big crowd, electric atmosphere, and a charged up band. I have listened to 6 different shows (UK and Italy), and Rome still sounds the best, in my humble opinion of course.
