I'm just back from Spain after attending those two great shows, I'll post proper reviews later but all I can say is that Mark and his band are in top form!
I noted down the setlist on a piece of paper I have to find, I'll put them here tonight as I'm not sure those on setlist.fm are accurate.
Spoke briefly to Aldo after the show who hinted at a possible Euro tour for Mark and Creature With The Atom Brain in October/November...
And finally Mark laughed when I suggested him to add Sneakers to his setlist.

If anyone sees any bootleg of those on Dime, I'd be very interested (especially for the Barcelona one which was more intense and with a better sound)

I heard this from Jan Wygers (of CWTAB) too... so I think it's looking pretty likely.

I am looking for the lovely lady who got herself the Barcelona setlist! I'm the girl who was standing behind you during all the show, helped you chase the nasty photographer and finally took a picture of you with the setlist. I would like to send you the picture, because it looks awesome!

Barcelona: Full force from minute one. The band was mighty, Mark's voice on top! It was very intense. The scene was packed, during CWTAB-gig, Aldo thanked the audience for appearing so early, he really appreciated. During the 3-5 first songs, Mark had himself his private fight with his mic-stand, pulling it up and down, and finally in-between two songs told Jan Wygers in sign speech that he probably killed it and needed a replacement. The scene was fun to watch. Shortly after, a brand-new mic was waiting, but then Mark didn't want it anymore, that was even more funny, because Jan got that bedazzled look on his face...The setlist was great, Leviathan showed up again, the BF songs were very powerful, Ode to Sad Disco really banged, St. Louis Elegy was terrific, Mark sung his heart and his lungs out...Tiny Grain of Truth almost killed me, such a magnificent melancholia in his voice... The older songs brought out his voice even better, because the band would take back a bit in volume, maybe just an impression of mine, or due to the fact that wee stood full front, third row... Got some stuff signed after the show, thanked Mark for his music and told him that we traveled from Lux. to Barca just to see him, he was very thankful and said, "Oh well, wow! Thank YOU..." My husband shook his hand and gave him a thumb up, then he smiled and said bye...such a sweet man! After the gig we took a drink in our hotel bar to come down and can you believe it...Mark walks in all relaxed and laid back with his backpack and vanishes into the elevator, ... what a terrific night!!! It was on Monday, but we are still thrilled.

Mark walks in all relaxed and laid back with his backpack and vanishes into the elevator Whaaaa? ? And you didn't follow him to his room? What an opportunity missed!!!!! ;D Seriously though, it sounds like you had a great time. I hope I enjoy it as much as you obviously have (I'm sure I will). Only 15 days to go (but who's counting?).

It was on Monday, but we are still thrilled. Nicely said, that sums up my feelings about that show almost perfectly (including the older songs leaving more space for his voice). I sure hope to see a recording

Oh Bey, I know, I really suck as a stalker, ... Not me! Although I don't actually classify it as 'stalking'. Stalker: someone who prowls or sneaks about; usually with unlawful intentions. I don't prowl or sneak about, (I would've been in that lift with him in 2 seconds!) and my intentions definitely aren't unlawful (just immoral). Disclaimer: If any of Mark's 'people' are reading this, its all in good fun.....no need for 5 security guards when he hits Australia.
