Exactly, DMG. Lovely to read. Would have liked to be their to but couldn't make it after all. Doesn't matter though. I've seen him three times: Madrid, Antwerp  Amsterdam. Dancing with Ingrid during Paraguay, running towards the front standing in front of the man we all admire so much, not giving a single thing what he  plays, just being there experiencing it all. It just says enough. Memories to be cherished. Thank you all so much!

My Verona Review:

First of all, yes it was absolutely very nice to meet all, Allen, Jbaent, Superval and husband, Joko,
all mentioned in order of appearance hehe
I would have loved to meet also Ingrid but at least I saw her dancing at the beginning of Paraguay with her partner hehe

The concert was very fine.
Yes the song with the guitar out of tune was Your Latest trick, I was watching MK and after few notes he stopped playing
and after the verse he said 'Sorry the guitar is out of tune'. Mr Saggers came in with a new Gibson during the song, it wasn't stopped.

A funny moment was when MK was talking about 'something that didn't kill him', don't remember exactly what it was, but, as soon as he said that, someone on the high stand shouted very loudly as if he was falling down from the sky
and MK said 'well it might have killed you, but it didn't kill me' and everybody laughed.

There was the usual part 'It seems a good moment to retire cause I am old but I like it so much that I might continue'

Speedway final solo was above average imo, best song of the concert according to my mum (I took my mum and my sister with me for their first concert ever, better late than never)

I agree with all that there was a bittersweet note that it could be the final show, I hope he tours again in a more relaxed way

Guy: "Arena di Verona. This has to be the most spectacular place to finish up on this wonderful trip around Europe. "

It was a very great show. Fantastic atmosphere.
Didn’t meet Pensaghost 😢
But met a lot other people.
Real great end of the european leg!

Thank you all for making the concerts and meet ups so great. It wouldn’t have been the same without all of you. Big hug and Hopefully we meet again somewhere down the road wherever! 😘

@Ingrid am I right in seeing you dancing to PFP?   ;D

I was at row 4 and I think I witnessed a AMIT-meeting at row one but wasn’t sure.
Hey, don't forget your hat.

Glad you all had a lovely time in Verona. Like dmg has previously said it's quite emotional saying goodbye and if you think too deep in that this was potentially the 'last' gig in Europe for MK.....

But we will think positive and live in hope of some small 'One Off' shows to come along with some stellar albums to come too!!.....

Thanks for the review Pensa and the souvenir (or insight for me) Tunnel85. 

Is that a clothes pole Danny uses?  Looks like he about to hang out the washing!

I think you're right :lol 
Was so hot he needed to change and wash clothes ten times a day.
So he bought a clothes pole and decided to use it on stage to make his investment as profitable as possible.  :clap

Maybe the video owner was approached by Mark's management? Who knows


Serious respect for Mark, though, to do this tour in such a condition. Soldier.
