Welcome to the group

Welcome to the forum - nice item of memorabilia from an excellent tour there....

[NicoMK]

The good old times when Danny Cummings was Mark's drummer...

Nice item! May I ask how you got it?

[vr46mk]

They come on sale at eBay etc as some points, although it's very rare to see them at all...

I have some earlier and later ones too, I was extra happy to find the STP Tour Itineraries and the Shangri la European leg. DS technical information from OES tour is cool as well.

And more importantly Mark didn't have a brass band either - good times indeed!!!

I agree that the brass department is not the best idea. I saw it as a replacement for Mark's limited playing. The less he is able to do the show alone, the more musicians to compensate. They both were probably good players but I think most of the songs did not really need that! Why Aye Man never sounded better than 2005/2008?

I just found it 'flooded' MKs playing and like you say it acted as a replacement for MKs more limited guitar playing....

They are good musicians, but I just don't think it worked, unlike when Chris White was doing the job, he complimented the songs a lot better.

Oh yes, I wholeheartedly  agree they are fabulous musicians, but just not needed with MK's music. Incidentally I've just listened to 'Piper' coming into work on the 'I think I should retire' best of 2019 tour files and I forgot how dreadful it was when the trumpets were drowning out MK's beautiful guitar.....

Back to the thread and the 'GL' world tour was just awesome in comparison.....

Yes, my heart sank when Mark just accompanied the brass section instead of taking a solo during Piper.  So sad.

Yes, me too, but at least we have the beautiful versions from the 2010 concerts.

[Love Expresso]

Indeed. And they are especially beautiful because the drumming from Danny was exceptional good on this one (butchered live by Inato from 2013 on). I really love the 2010 live versions of Piper. There are also these two  little violin notes from John right before the playing out which is absolutely wonderful. Good times...

A while since I've listened to the 2010 versions, having preferred the 2013 ones, but noticed the 2010s are considerably faster than later versions and now I'm beginning to change my mind on this one.
