This is great news ideed.
It does not seem to offer anything we don't already have, or in a better format. What was once available is available again, period. Still, I am quite happy. I like to know that downloads are officials !
Also, it is interesting to see what Mark (or his management) think what the best versions are for each tour. I noticed in particular that for them, the best TR (among the only 15 available) for 2005 is Lyon (on the strat, not the pensa). I agree with them, I have always said that this one was really special, so they seemed not to have chosen randomly, for once
Just a couple of things I wonder:
1) I can't understand why this is not more explicit on the web site. You have to hack into it, and pretend to preorder the toy guitar to see the live recordings ! No chance for non-geeks to get that ! I hope this will be fixed soon.
2) Guy has always said that he has been recording all the shows since 2005, independently from Crowfly/Simfy/Bleeker. This should give hope to get 2005 shows is 320kbs instead of 192 (although I find they sound great), more 2005 shows, the 2008 shows (although I think 2010 shows are better and we don't miss much appart from TLWNF), and everything in FLAC. So Guy, what are you waiting for to release your own recordings ?
3) Seems that hopes for 1996 and 2001 are gone
They were fantastic shows, maybe the best, although 2005, 2010 and 2019 come close...
4) Can we still have hopes for 2002 ? A couple of years ago "Quality shoe" was released on Mark's youtube channel, and WAM was once released as well, so I guess they recorded these ones too...
