    Sofia (Bulgaria)-11th of June

    I saw the concert yesterday evening and it was a dream come true. I took my wife and left my 9 months daughter at home with my parents. It was so great and so real. The band was great. They were smiling and having a good time. It started at 21 and finished just before 23 o clock. I still cannot belive what happened. Now I am listening to the new album Kill the crimson, which I bought at the concert.Smile

    It was an orgasmic experience. Mark sounded more clipped as if he was using a pick (which he never does). The usual mellow sound of his guitar was heavier. Speedway to Nazareth was even better than what I knew from the album (Sailing to Philadelphia) and his solo in Telegraph Road was hard to forget.

    And the night was a once in a lifetime.

    I still cannot believe I was part of it!

    Thanks, Mark.

    You can hear them singing out their telegraph code
    All the way down the telegraph road"

    I was suprised to see how Guy saw Bulgaria in his diary. Does anyone know how much time Mark and the band spend in Sofia? Did they sleep in a hotel in our capital? Any chance to walk around and see the sights in the city?

    I will be greatfull, if you are able to answer my questions.

    Hi, ale !!! They spent here some hours only. Landed at Sofia's airport around 17:00, went to the venue, stayed there ALL the time and took off to Istanbul immediately after the concert. So Guy's impressions were taken both ways from the airport to NDK and the way back. This way his view is not strange  Wink

    Hi Slavi,

    I'm glad you got to see Mark at last, i know how long you have waited for him to come to Bulgaria, you must have been so excited, i guess the only thing that would have made it better would have been for Chris White to have been thereWink


    Nothing in the world prepared me for your heart, your golden heart.
