    Great Music in Cologne,..but how about "show"ing it?

    Hi, everybody!

    First of all, we love Mark and his music very much; actually, he's still a huge influence for me as a musician. We also traveled far to see him in the KölnArena, Cologne. And were badly dissappointed as this is a huge location and, believe me, making use of the VideoWal or having some screens would have been not only an option, but basically neccessary. So from the balkony, one could enjoy the music, not the big resonator guitar, and of course, not a real glimpse at my guitar hero and colleague.

    Intimate atmosphere is allright, but in such Arenas, you need a wider broadcast medium. Therefore, paying round 45bucks was not quite worth it. Don't get me wrong, I still love his stuff, but really many people felt the same in three quarters of the hall - dissapointed....., unfortunately.

    Regards and keep the spirit;

    F.
