The above two comments literally sum up what we need to know about playing electric guitar for ears that really care about music. Thank you and fully agreed!
And the punters stroll by, on the pavements of Hell, unmoved... pretty much sums up Joe Public. Utterly brilliant performance, no slide in sight, still truly nailed it. Bravo, wish I knew where this guy plays live...
and again the puppet people walk past again. I absolutely cannot understand that. When I see such a talented artist, I would stop and stay there all day to listen to Mark's music.

Why am I crying with joy? His playing reaches parts of me that I didn't know existed. ❤😢😊
Been feeling depressed recently. No job, No money. Hardly picked my guitar up in over a month. It's starting to think I don't love it anymore ! I shouldn't complain, there's lots worse off than me. Reading the comments here about my playing has really helped me. Thank you to everyone who has bothered to make such kind comments. Now where's my plectrum ? Stay safe out there. Mark Allen.
Keep your head up Mark ❤️ we all love your playing, was just thinking about YOU! hence, why I’m on this video.. you’re son talented man. All the best Mark
Sorry to hear you've got the blues, Mark. All great talent get a visit from 'the black dog'. I hope it clears soon and you get your mo-jo back. I'm a Cardiff lad living in Oz, coming home next year for a visit, I really hope to catch you on the streets. More power to you, brother. x
Keep your guitar close Mark, mine has always been a source of comfort, even if its just playing Blues very badly... in the end a good guitar is more reliable than any number of bad people, who come and go... Never trade, sell or neglect your guitar. I made that mistake & I won't again. Compared to me, you are a far better player. You should be proud, not everyone is as skilled as you.
Absolutely brilliant playing. You just blew me away with this. Now that is real talent - just amazing. I sat and closed my eyes and let the music take me away! Incredible.
Non capisco come la gente non si fermi a sentire uno spettacolo di un talento simile. Fantastico!...👏👏👏👏 Meriteresti molto di più della sola strada x suonare. 👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤
BONSOIR Monsieur ALLEN !!! ✍️ C'est FORMIDABLE ce que vous faites avec votre instrument !!! L'on peut voir et écouter un HOMME en symbiose totale avec son instrument !!! Du TALENT, de la CRÉATIVITÉ, de la VIRTUOSITÉ, du COEUR et de la PASSION ! Quelle GÉNÉROSITÉ !!! MERCI pour les moments🎸🪕🥁🎹 partagés !!! Vos enregistrements en LIVE sont " Très BON " en qualité de restitution car ils sont très réalistes et très vivants . THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!! - DE MON P'TIT DOIGT - 🐻 🎷🖋
Слушал Марка с этой песней не один десяток раз, энергетика однозначная лучшая! Даже Крис не всегда играл на этом уровне! Был три раза на его концерте! Спасибо за песню! Среди кавер - версией - лучшая!!!! Марку удачи!!!
This is just a masterpiece. As far as I heard, Chris Rea retired a while ago and we won't be seeing any new releases anymore but songs like this or "Texas" really showed how amazing his songs are. However, it's also funny that his songs are always played on the radio whenever there's something stressful going on. For example, my workplace got hit with a cyber attack and when I was responding and trying to limit the amount of damage, The Road To Hell was playing form my co-worker's internet radio player. Then, 7 weeks ago I was stuck in traffic because the highway was flooded and many people (including me) had regular European cars which could hydrolock if water would go into the air intake. So, when I was building a snorkel with plastic bottles, vacuum cleaner hose and self seal plastic rubber tape, this song started playing in the radio. This really made me smile because the radio station couldn't find a better moment to play that song than the moment where I was modifying my car XD
I met this wonderful man years ago when i lived in swansea and he just blew me away, he gave me a lot of encouragement as i was honing my craft as a guitarist. So thankyou Mark for everything.
This guy plays good and has about worn the fretboard off that old Strat. What gets me is the bystanders, or lack thereof. When I was a kid forty years ago, there would have been a crowd around that guy in that setting.
People have become hardened materialists with tin ears. The evolution of technology has people of the mindset that believes you can simply press a button and instantly order up life itself.They wouldn't know greatness , unless it arrived in an Amazon wrapper, and the artist photo'd in cheesy glitz
I hadn't picked up my guitars for ages until I watched this guy on here the other night and I was straight into the kitchen, plugged that bad boy in and rocked the **** out. He's a special talent that's for sure, the way he feels the song and gets it across.
One Mark to another; totally enjoy how you channel what you are feeling through your guitar! There are many great guitarists out there, but very few that can play with true feeling. Fantastic!
A lot of people do not recognise gifted musianswhen they hear them especially when self taught keep it up Mark hope you come up to the steel city my home town Sheffield
Бесподобно, что творит Чертяка.... Трансформировался в одно целой с Гитарой. По нему видно, что он ловит глубокий кайф от своей работы, от каждой ноты, каждого звука.
Simply superb job! Thank you so much! Well done, probably my favourite piece of music ever and I think Chris would have been very pleased to hear you play it!
I love how all the people walk past when there is a real amazing guitarist playing. They just ignore him. Hahahaha.. That's why we have the X factor and BGT. You rock on bro. There are non brain washed ones out here man. May you play forever. Takes year to get that feel. Hope we meet one day and have a jam together. Love the settings by the way.
So very pleased I found this amazing guitarist, WOW what a sound Mark gets out of his guitar, love this and subbed! This Chris Rea track is a favourite and Mark sure gives his heart to this wonderful sound! Thanks, and look forward to more of the same, what brilliant playing!
I've seen so many people with no talent and had loads of people stopping to watch them. This guy is way better than many rock artists and nobody stops. Amazing. I am feeling to go to Cardiff just to listen to him.
No, Mark we all have these moments....in our hi's or during our lows....what keeps us going is seeing someone like you keep trekkin' despite the blues. I love the style of play you do. It makes great playing. And you do justice to one of my favorites. What passion you have.
This track is truly sublime. Mark squeezes out so much passion in those bends and licks. Even though this epic track was largely ignored by passers-by (or so it appears) Mark’s smile at the little girl giving a tip, and again at the end of the clip, suggests that playing live gives ‘him’ real pleasure. It certainly does to listeners on this channel.
Wow, Thank You So Much to everyone who has put such nice comments about my playing. Also A Huge Thank you to the people who have put something in my "virtual" collection hat. Using paypal to my email or sent me an Amazon voucher which always goes towards new strings for my guitar . I do use a lot as I like to change them often . Thank you Everyone !
Your talent is absolutely awesome! Please keep it going. I’ve seen very few people perform with such diversity and brilliance as you. Thank you for sharing your superb performances.
I swear nobody cares about real music anymore, Jimi Hendrix could rise from the dead and play on the sidewalk and the people would just walk on by. ☹️ Excellent job my man.
I've only been following this channel for a week and again I got stuck on here to listen to Mark's wonderful music. Such a sad thing that he only performs in Cardiff.
Wonderfully done Mark! You make that beautiful Fender really talk! I was a bassist for many years and ended up playing jazz but I love blues as well and any bluesy rock too. I am in America and am 25% Welsh and wish I was there to hear you in person. You are so much better than many I have heard on the radio. You really know what music is supposed to be Mark! 😀😎🎵🇺🇸
Last year you played the. Best music at the Upton Blues Festival, this year i have already booked our camping and i will be there to listen to you my friend. See you in July.
Wishing I had been there to hear this performed live... Breeze in my hair, sun on my skin and that guitar in my ears... Thanks for sharing, its almost as good :)
Nice playing of Chris rea great sound of that strat sad to see people just walking past thats what it is now put crap there like today theve would have all stopped
OMG what a wonderful musician. We can get really lost in his music. Spending an amount of time just listening. I do not know him. Greetings from Sout Amèrica.
That guitar shows the years of anguish and pain. The soul of a man who understands the spirit of music.
Amen
Absolutely! None of the mindless shredding here as Mark makes each and every note really mean something!
The above two comments literally sum up what we need to know about playing electric guitar for ears that really care about music. Thank you and fully agreed!
That is an amazing fender sound !!! Wow !!!!!😮😮😮😮😮😮
Elkúrvúlt ez a világ!!!!
And the punters stroll by, on the pavements of Hell, unmoved... pretty much sums up Joe Public. Utterly brilliant performance, no slide in sight, still truly nailed it. Bravo, wish I knew where this guy plays live...
Cardiff City Centre 👍
Tenby South Wales town centre summertime👍
Couldn’t agree more with you. These drab shoppers should be bowing on the ground paying homage to him!
The Hayes Cardiff City Centre.
Mindboggle
What do you mean, “no slide in sight.”
and again the puppet people walk past again. I absolutely cannot understand that. When I see such a talented artist, I would stop and stay there all day to listen to Mark's music.

So emotional and inspiring.
Absolutely incredible.
God bless you Mark.

Engem,csak az zavar,hogy egy ilyen tehetség mellett csak úgy egyszerűen elsétálnak a semmit sem érő emberek!!!
I am same ,i play blues ,but nothing like him .I would be there listening as long as he played .
Absolutely amazing, you can see he feels every note, and so do I, he should be playing in stadiums, wow
Non capisco come la gente non si fermi a sentire uno spettacolo di un talento simile.
Fantastico!...👏👏👏👏
Meriteresti molto di più della sola strada x suonare.

Класс!!! Я слушал, не мог даже пошевелиться. Музыка чудесная!
This guy is one of the Gods of music!!! But the people just passing by....like nothing nothing happens there ))))!!!
Ποιος κοσμος? Ο μετριος, ο ανικανος κοσμος!!

This guy plays good and has about worn the fretboard off that old Strat. What gets me is the bystanders, or lack thereof. When I was a kid forty years ago, there would have been a crowd around that guy in that setting.
it's what the song says "the perverted fear of violence", people need to grow some nuts
People have become hardened materialists with tin ears. The evolution of technology has people of the mindset that believes you can simply press a button and instantly order up life itself.They wouldn't know greatness , unless it arrived in an Amazon wrapper, and the artist photo'd in cheesy glitz
I, never did understand why people need to stand and stare. Music is ment to be heard not looked at
I looked up the definition of feeling and it said look up Mark Allen! 4th video and I’m blown away! Mark you are an absolute gem!
Thanks for your comments.
Means a lot to me.
Stay Safe.

Well done Mark, pity the passers by do not see such talent !!!!!
One of the best songs ever done with passion. I loved it! Thanks! 💖💖💖💖💖💖😎
Это кайф ! Душа играет у него , мороз по коже , знергия обволакивает и поднимает Как я люблю такую гитару и Криса за его мелодии ! Спасибо автору !
There is so much pain and sadness in his playing. It's beautiful
Fabulus mark your strat sounds great such a versatile guitar also you play very well 😊
HOW CAN YOU JUST WALK PAST THIS!
These people are totally oblivious to the world and joy that's in it. Sad
One Mark to another; totally enjoy how you channel what you are feeling through your guitar! There are many great guitarists out there, but very few that can play with true feeling. Fantastic!
La chitarra e' il prolungamento di te stesso si vede .ci sei dentro fino alle punte dei piedi sei grandioso🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Best version ive heard so far
That ambulance at 4:46 is taking me away. This jam killed me ! I love Chris Rea and Mark did great !
Absolutely fantastic Mark,the crowd might not appreciate it mate but I thought it was FABULOUS. All the best Mark.
Fantastic work. The most energy and emotion I've ever seen put into a song.
A lot of people do not recognise gifted musianswhen they hear them especially when self taught keep it up Mark hope you come up to the steel city my home town Sheffield
Взял за душу,молодца.
Бесподобно, что творит Чертяка.... Трансформировался в одно целой с Гитарой. По нему видно, что он ловит глубокий кайф от своей работы, от каждой ноты, каждого звука.
Я вообще понял что играет не он а кто то ,в смысле все великие гитаристы играют настолько фантаститечски , я вижу нечто тайное , работа Супермозга !
Высший пилотаж ...любо !
Simply superb job! Thank you so much! Well done, probably my favourite piece of music ever and I think Chris would have been very pleased to hear you play it!

Magnifique solo de
Guitare, j'adore.
I've seen so many people with no talent and had loads of people stopping to watch them.
This guy is way better than many rock artists and nobody stops.
Amazing.
I am feeling to go to Cardiff just to listen to him.
How can people just walk past this guy? He is just sensational an amazing and melodic player.
No, Mark we all have these moments....in our hi's or during our lows....what keeps us going is seeing someone like you keep trekkin' despite the blues. I love the style of play you do. It makes great playing. And you do justice to one of my favorites. What passion you have.
If I seen this guy pay on the street, I’d stop in awe…then air guitar right next to him, dude’s a whole vibe. I’d appreciate the performance haha
This guy has so much talent ....superb playing..and what a beautiful tone ..
I'm in awe, how could you just walk by!
Savage! Tone is amazing! Performance is magic. He plays every note like it’s his last
If I had been there I'd have sat on the ground and hoped for more. Superb.
Самая крутая аранжировка как ни крути , Мужик профи однако , супер !

Your talent is absolutely awesome! Please keep it going. I’ve seen very few people perform with such diversity and brilliance as you. Thank you for sharing your superb performances.
I've seen so much passion in one's playing.
I swear nobody cares about real music anymore, Jimi Hendrix could rise from the dead and play on the sidewalk and the people would just walk on by. ☹️ Excellent job my man.
Agreed
Really great man, i could listen to that style of bluesy jazz all day,
I've only been following this channel for a week and again I got stuck on here to listen to Mark's wonderful music. Such a sad thing that he only performs in Cardiff.
Mark also plays in Carmarthen, Swansea, Tenby Upton...
I live in Germany 🙂 @@artfrob3754
