    11th May 2008 show in Prague

    Hi, I've seen the show in Prague last night and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have seen Mark's show in Prague a few years back and I was a bit nervous about a crowd reaction. During the last show the people required Mark to play more of the old stuff and sort of shouted at him their request and it made him quite unhappy about it. However, it was not a problem this time 'round as the band played a lot of traditional hits so the crowed loved it. However, I was hoping for more of the Kill the get Crimson songs. Anyway, the show was great and I wish Mark would record one of the evenings and release it on DVD. I have also read in the papers that there is an official policy of no photos and recording and that the official recording of the shows can be downloded from Mark's site for some fee very soon after the show. However, I can't find this possibility here. Can you help?

    The official policy on recording can be read on the news page, but basically it is video recording that is not allowed. Audio recording and photos are still OK, though long lens SLR cameras and professional equipment including tripods are not. However if recording and photographic equipment are not permitted in the venue, then Mark and his management say the venue's policy will be respected. But as can be seen from other posts on this site, some people still manage to record some video.

    It would be great if the official recordings were made available for fans to download, as happened during the Shangri-la tour in 2005. But as yet I haven't heard (or read) whether a decision has been made to do something similar this tour. Certainly there is nothing official available at the moment.
