A quote from Richard Bennett:

"Mark played as good as I’ve heard him in all these years I’ve been around and the band followed suit.  Perhaps as good a show as we’ve played the entire tour."

Was anyone there for this? how good was it?

The best they played ever.

Until they play the next.

And go on.

Neither Richard nor Guy are unbiased, and nor can we trust their memory. The fans, however, listen regularly to recordings from all the various tours and have a much more objective view of how Mark and the band have evolved.

Afraid I’m inclined to agree. The whole outfit has got too big again (ironically, Mark’s reason for ending DS.)
I do miss the days of the KTGC tour when Guy would name specific members of the band who’d played extremely well that evening. I seem to remember he often would compliment Matt Rollings and John quite a bit.
Now I wonder how well they can hear individual parts and really tell who is playing what.

I don't think that is hard to tell especially since he is using ear monitor.

I get that but they seem to be playing more songs on this tour where more of the instruments are playing the same lines and melodies as Mark.

Nobody sounds the same.

DS, some friendly advice from a long time music teacher, listen again, loads of melody, counter melody, and harmony,. :-)

Maybe you are right.

From personal experience when attending a show and  watching the musos, I have the "feeling" that I can spot sound coming from each one playing so I guess Guy is even better at that.
But without the visual, on some part I surely couldn't tell.
