Ok, thanks for the info. I'm glad your still listening to the Bournemouth show Val, I attended that one, and thought it was really good on the night :)

Yes, it was a great show QJF! I was on the front row, last two seats on the left. We had a great time at the encores, right in front of MK, swaying and singing along to SFA! :)

I wasn't that far from you then, I was central on the 3rd row :)

As far as the other shows are concerned..I think I will take a wait and see..or hear :P view. But I am planning to purchase the opener in Bucharest..and going to try and stay away from reviews and set lists until I listen to it for the first time. I saw Jbaent mention this tactic on AMIT and thought it to be worthwhile. I like the idea of hearing the first show 'fresh' if you will.

After seeing mention of a USB stick for the RAH on Guy's forum, I did look at the MK.com site. It has been added in for May 27, but without a price yet, when viewing in English. When you look at it in German, it is priced the same as all the others at 30E, so I suppose in English, it would also say 26 pounds. When someone querried Guy for details, he couldn't or wouldn't give any, just like usual, although because its a marketing issue, maybe he doesn't actually know anything.

Darryl, maybe you will be able to get one after all! :waytogo:

It's all very confusing, I wish they would make a decision at the start of the tour and stick to it, some people can only afford one stick, and knowing the RAH shows were not available might have already bought one, even though they would have bought RAH, now they can :shock: Not good in my view.

Ok...now things are gettting a little bit more muddled. After reading a question on Guy's forum this morning..I did some checking and came up with this listing on BBC 4 for May 23rd :
Mark Knopfler on BBC 4 Sessions

Hmmm..maybe a DVD is still a possibility..only it wouldn't have been filmed at RAH.

I tried to order the Newcastle Concert this morning, but I didn't get a chance to select my method of payment before being diverted to the saferpay site, where I got an error message because there was a problem with the method of payment I had chosen (or not chosen in my case !) but they have retained my order & asked me to contact support at MK .com

I've emailed them & asked them to cancel the order & I'll try again when they have done so.

The BBC sessions show seems very exciting, I hope it will be like A Night In London, we REALLY need a live DVD of solo songs.

Marketing, marketing, marketing. Let's not forget that MK Tours are BIG BUSINESS. Mark has a huge payroll and employs many, many talented people - technicians, electricians, lighting and sound guys, cooks, drivers, management etc. etc. Income needs to be generated to pay all these people.

Thanks for thinking of me Superlinda ... As for the USB sticks ... I'm going to wait until the tour is over and make my decision then.

Actually, I'd like to buy a couple of T shirts ... but I know they are super expensive. I'd like to take something back for Karl - and he DOES wear his KTGC shirt :)

I mentioned a request on my MKFans Group on Facebook - for someone to mention to someone that I am coming from Western Canada and that I'd really like to hear Redbud Tree, Dream of a Drowned Submariner and Your Perfect Song. That would DEFINITELY be the most perfect thing in the world for me. :wub:
Regards,

Darryl

Well, I see it is official. I just got an e-mail from MK.com about the first of the RAH shows being offered in a sound board recording. :waytogo: It does appear it will be the only one of the RAH shows to be recorded like that, though. Maybe they heard about the fans wanting them! :wallbang:

I also got the news :yay: I think I will buy this one as it is the first performance I will be attending. So glad they decided to do this.

Let's hope Mark saw my requests :unsure:

I cannot believe it is finally here - TWO more sleeps - and the second sleep won't be much of a sleep as we have to leave the house at 0515 to catch the 0600 ferry.

I hope to sleep on the plane - will be posting a few notes along the way :)

That is great news they are releasing one of the RAH shows, and even better if it's the one your going to Darryl :) Like you I think i'll wait till the tour is over to get a stick or 2. I hope they hear your request for Your Perfect Song :)

Just curious folks...has anyone received their stick from the 27th yet? Starting to get a little annoyed..I know they were delayed a bit due to the volume of orders for that show..but they took my dough..got confirmation of that immediately..and then...nothing. It would be nice to know that at least the stick has been shipped. I sent them an email inquiry..lets see if I get a response. <_<

Hi All,

My money is all gone now too Hop! No worries, I'm sure the recording will arrive soon. It's only been 9 days since the 27th May.

Meanwhile, you can always catch some recordings on YouTube. Not nearly as good as the mastered audio stick - but those video recordings take me right back to the RAH :)

Meanwhile, this lovely spring weather is keeping me busy in the garden - and Jeanie is loving the lake - goes for a few swims each day :yay:
Regards,

Darryl

I can imagine that Jeanie has been quite happy since Mommy came home :lol: . Actually I'm listening to "Haul Away" and "Postcards from Paraguay" from the 6/1 show. Both the 5/31 show and the 6/1 show showed up on the Spanish City Tracker..because they weren't being recorded professionally. So in that regard I have plenty to listen to in the mean time..but still can't wait to get the pro recording in my hands. Enjoy the gardening Darryl! Not exactly good gardening weather here..although it's good FOR the garden..it's pouring right now. That's ok..if it's raining again tomorrow night I'll just have to stay in and watch the Bruins finish off the Penguins :)
