Around the same time as the StP live concert from Madrid.   

Unfortunately if I remember well it has been officialy shelved.
Maybe one day they will release the shows they recorded in audio.

We know it was shelved, but I don't remember if it was officially announced as shelved.

Didn't Guy come out and say they couldn't use the audio because the Spanish fans kept singing ole ole ole?! Or it was too windy or something?!

Guy said that the audience mics saturation was too heavy and the audience were through all the mics, so they recorded the audio in Bilbao, Newcastle and Glasgow to use it when needed to patch the Madrid dvd. It was also windy, not too much really, but you only need to see the videos to notice it.



I think they just lost interest as patching the audio won't had been that difficult, or maybe MK didn't like the look of him with his hair moving all the time in that way.

I've always wondered why we only have excerpts from the May 3, 2001 Toronto concert.

Speedway at Nazareth, Who's your baby now,  Sailing to Philadelphia, Brothers in arms we have on the official singles and album The Ragpicker's Dream.

Or Hamburg on June 16. We have snippets on Golden Demos.

Golden Demos is a bootleg, nothing from Hamburg has been released by UMG.

Yeah I know but it sounds great

Any plans to involve Henrik Hansen again this time? Is a question today on Guy's forum about the new album.... no answer at the moment..... He wil replay later this week i think.

Guy replied on the question.
Indeed I can’t say much but we did film some of the band sessions.

[MagicElliott]

The project lives!
Our hope lives on.

They've recorded band sessions for the last few albums and nothing's appeared.

[dustyvalentino]

Not sure how old this is but it says scheduled for release in early 2023 which suggests that something was completed at least.

I have been keeping an eye on that site for a while now, and that date just keeps changing as the years change!!

Including the early sessions for the Local Hero musical, as in the "Good on you son" there are images of musicians that played sessions for just that recordings!

I that video we can see 5 second clips of Mark struggling to get out the back of his Mercedes in Albany and Tivoli in Copenhagen, both shows we know they filmed.

I give a shot asking Guy about this project again.
With the new MK album coming in 2024 perhaps the documentary is also moved like the album.
But well, Guy has no info.
