dmg, We all know that MK's style of music has changed over the last few years. He is much more folky now and unless there is a major change of direction, that seems to be the way the future lies. "Get Lucky" was a more varied album, though, with "You Can't Beat the House", "Monteleone", "Cleaning My Gun" and "Hard Shoulder" veering away from the folk style. I didn't find KTGC any less energetic than "Shangri-La" or ATRR either - I enjoyed all of them. "Golden Heart" and STP were probably the more energetic, but MK was 12 years younger in 1996!
I think for someone who is 60+ he is doing pretty well regarding energy. Of course, we have the ageing rock stars, like Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, still trying to strut their stuff at 60+, but MK is far more elegant and tasteful to go down that road! Thank goodness!
Anyway I loved KTGC. It was pretty energetic in Amsterdam from what I remember and we all seemed to have a great time!
