<sigh> It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad. What a waste.

was around 2003.

Although he did put an effort in for the Croc/HUH shows, so hats off
to him for that, though I suspect Will had something to do with that.

looked fine, sounded great at the cathedral 2 weeks ago!

DYKWIA is far worse, what possessed them to play that live. Shroud of Turin
or Everlasting Neverending, would've been a better choice.

I think they ran out of ideas after Siberia, which should've been a top 40 hit.
That knocked them for 6 for a while.

the fountain isn't all bad i agree its not as good as siberia,but then siberia isn't as good as any of the first four albums.
the fountain still has some tracks on it that are excellant in there own right,even if they might sit more comfortably on a solo album the fountain,idolness ect...

Too right bunnygod. I've only been to four solo Mac gigs and that includes the Candleland tour, but the cathedral show was in a different league to the others, he sounded magnificent. As for looking as good as he did ten years ago well I doubt many of us do. :cry:

Should take pride in his appearance, like Sgt Fuzz.

I did like the voice from the cathedral, History Chimes was beautiful,
seriously considering going to London, but then again.

Looking forward to the Porcupine tour...

Based on the videos that have been posted, I'd say he sounded great only relative to how bad he sounded a few years ago... and I'm with mum and mom, a person should at least bathe occasionally - especially before going to church!!
