ALMOND TREAT
Today's "film" was a Mark Almond concert at Lokerse Feesten, a festival in Belgium. The year is 2000.
This is the last of the available Almond discs. There are a couple more to be released but no dice yet.
I have had a lot of Marc Almond in the last months. This does not disappoint but as a festival concert it lacks the intimacy of the usual venue. Almond discusses this on the interview. He has an audience of about a third fans, a third who never heard of him and a third who only know the hits and didn't know he was behind them.
This comes across in the performance. Basically he has to make his own energy. But things do get cooking as the selections become more familiar.
I like him a lot and after three or four DVDs I am ready to take a rest and wait for the new releases.
