He should have been seated the entire show in 2019. Although unfortunate, it worked great in 2010, and he definitely played better that way than the 2008 tour.

I went to four 2010 concerts and all of them were terrific.  MK played beautifully, perhaps because he was seated.

Yeah, it was such a great tour! I have very fond memories of the concert we visited. I can literally pick any recording of that tour and just enjoy it from start to finish.

I agree! Although his playing wasn't as flawless as when I saw him in 2005, Milano in 2010 is easily my favourite concert i've seen from any artist. His playing was really inspired.

Maybe the action was easier on the Beard.

yes that's the reason I think
and the neck was thinner to

The problem with the the national was not its weight or difficulty to preserve it, but the thick neck and high action. Mark has always said this guitar was hard to play
Thats' also the reason he played Corned beef city. Slide was a way to have a rest for his wrist, before playing STP and Once upon a time

I think the KTGC tour is unfairly criticised.  Yes he was making more mistakes in 2008 than in 2010, but his solos were more inspired and he was taking more risks.  I admire that and the shows are always more interesting.

Ah yes the KTGC tour - amazing when I look back now. MK seemed to play with much freedom then. Bit more variety with songs too....

Agreed. Although 2008 was the first time I saw MK live, it does seem to be a turning point in more interesting song choices for a set list-and the introduction of a folky.

It was during the KTGC tour that I heard the best versions of Hill Farmer's Blues and Postcards From Paraguay.

It was wonderful to be at the Heineken for the first two shows of the KTGC tour and to hear so many songs, unexpectedly, for the first time.   They were really great shows and I enjoyed them very much, but the 2010 concerts are still my favourites - MK's playing was so special, everything was played so well, even though he was seated, or maybe because he was seated.

Still a shame that from the KTGC tour and especially 2 openingsshows in Amsterdam no official recordings are. Good memories of those shows

There's a very good youtube video at least:

That is a pro recording.

How that possible?

Bad luck that this soundboard is from the US leg, where some of the most interesting songs were out, like one of my favorites "daddy gone to Knoxville" and Sonny Liston was back in the set.

I do love Guy playing acoustic on Hill Farmer’s Blues in that concert.
