Mark on Ken Bruce show

[superval99]

A video!

Thank youuuuuuuu!

He said the old National is worn and he got that Beard reso from Jerry Douglas.

But it's a mystery why he didn't use the National 14 fret reissue. 

Wow, interesting. And this Beard reso is a lot cheaper than any National by the way. But the price isn't what concerns me at all, it sounds just like a regular acoustic through this pickup.

Mark now looks a bit like Dr Bunsen Honeydew from the Muppets!

Good to see Danny back.....

Just listened. That was lovely. Thanks for the video. Love the percussion. Romeo works really well like this if you ask me. The Boxer was brilliant. Great stuff.

[crimmer]

just seen it too

Just listened to the radio 2 presentation and what lovely musicianship... The boxer was amazing and loved that...

To be honest I'm not fussed one bit what he and the band play on the tour, I'm just happy to be going!!!!

Please tell me this cover is only a one-time very strange surprise and that we are NOT gonna hear it live in a concert taking the place of a DS/MK song, including songs that have never been played live or that are long forgotten, because I am going to sell my tickets

My exact thought as well. Just do an old DS goodie instead, we don't need covers when MK has so much of his own stuff to pick!!

It is hard to stay positive isn’t it guys? Be happy that he plays a different song instead the usual Bonaparte.I loved it.

I would have preferred that Mark had sung a his song that The Boxer, well done I know, but I wonder why this time he choice a song like this, so sad.
I feel a Mark too sad this time, also with a smile in the face, too sad..this is what I feel and I don't know why...

I thought it was beautiful.  It's one of my favourite songs anyway and I'm glad MK played it.

Exactly my feelings Val.

To be honest, I couldn't give a hoot what the master plays, the good thing is he is once again about to entertain us on an another tour and as for the album - I cannnnnnnn't wait!!!!

actually I agree the version was nice but this doesn't make it a good choice for a concert, it would be a super bad choice

I'm pretty sure it won't be played at a concert.  It was just played as a tribute to Paul Simon.

Mark did covers before and never played it live. Have he ever played "What A Wonderful World", "Restless Farewell", "The Lily Of The West", etc.?

No!
