Last time MK played the separate outro in SOS

[ybot]

Hello, was it in the end of Golden heart tour?
Has Mark ever told why he stopped it?
 

[JF]

if you mean the pace moment, yes indeed it was in 96 for the last time

I tried to summ up the whole evolution of the song during the years in this chronicle :

Well, some SOS in 2015 were not that bad.
Recently I listened again to Sion 2015 (which I attended) and the famous in-ear monitor LA 2001 one (which is highly praised). The difference between the 2 is not as striking as you would imagine. Same length, same licks, slightly less energery and pace in 2015, but still very comparable...

I enjoyed SOS in Manchester 2015 very much.

LA 2001 was one of the poorest shows of the tour IMHO.  Don't know where it's been highly praised.   

The interesting thing is we are comparing the worst version from 2001 to the best version from 2015 and think the 2001 version is still slightly better.

Well, maybe it is highly praised because sound-wise it is a high quality soundboard also because it featured Bonny Raitt !
Performance-wise I like it quite a lot. TR solo is out of this world. I'm not sure why you say it is one of the worst of the tour.
I have also listen to a few others, Hamburg, Lucca, Madrid... I think LA SOS is quite on par with those...
But that Sion 2015 was the best of 2015, no doubt !

People usually praise some concerts just because we have a soundboard of them. It's curious that some average concerts are considered as excellent, when the only excellent thing on them is the quality of the recording.

Certainly, but this is not my case here. I really like LA 2001 performance-wise. TR has one of the best solos I have ever heard. The guests makes it very special. Marked seemed to be in a very good mood and too form, much more than in Hamburg I think (although I like this one too).

Personally I'd say Boston or Albany were better but that's my preference.

2015 you mean ?
I am not objective about Sion maybe, that was a fabulous concert I attended, in outdoor, in the sunset, I was front row center, Mark was in a good mood, there was a technical problem at one point in Sos that put his guitar on mute, he laughed about it, that was fun... One of these nights where the stars were aligned !

I'd agree with that.  A lot of great show have an unfortunate poor SQ.

Yes, 2015.  Boston he start playing a bit like the old post piano break which was fun to hear.  Albany I think may have been filmed because we see a clip outside in the Good on You Son video, and it sounded like a concentrated performance.

fully agree.
for example, on eraly years people usually praise Rockpalast while I see nothing extraordinary on this concert
I far far prefer Barbarella' 78, Boston or Carré Amsterdam in fall 79, but yes th sound quality is poor on these ones
