Title: Which blue U.S. b stick?
Post by: yontwocrows on October 30, 2013, 02:52:53 PM
Would like to buy one us-stick. Any hints by those who attended a show?
I'm interested in a show with high fan energy level. Which of the 5 shows is the best in that category?

Post by: ingridswing on October 30, 2013, 04:40:58 PM
I would say one of the Oakland. Energylevel of first night was maybe a little higher because we also felt sad 2 nd night that it wad the last show. But last show was maybe the best one

Ordered my second night in Oakland last night.  Something very special about that night.  To me, it's almost feel like it was a private show to AMITERS.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

 When I looked down to my left, there were all the familiar AMITERS" faces  staring up on the stage mesmerized by Mark and the band. It was as if we were in our own world.   :) :)

Oakland 2 was truly amazing!!!  I will probably buy both the Las Vegas and Oakland 2 sticks (although the setlist on Oakland 2 was more generous, I really, really loved the vibe from LV).   :D

Las Vegas has a great version too!  Very well performed on this tour IMO.  Rome is still the standout for me though.

If they corrected the spelling mistake early on in the production run then the mis-spelled ones may be worth something to collectors now as would be quite rare! :lol

Their answer was kind of sorry, but this is how is going to be, not any offer to send a new stick with the correct name  :(

When I saw the mistake in the LA stick I though "My God, they wrote every single city right in the European batch of sticks, even the most difficult ones, and they are making the mistake in one of the most famous cities in the world"

Not exactly  :)

I'm the proud owner of the stick from Malta, where as the name of a city was written "Valetta" with one letter L instead of Valletta.
Even more, this concert took place in the little town Floriana in fact  :)

I have to say I was really bummed my sister said her Saint-Julien-en-Genevois stick was incorrectly identified as "Geneva".  Not a spelling error...  they got the city and the COUNTRY wrong.   :( 

On the bright side...  the music is amazing!!!  :D

Back in '08 or'06--I'd have to check the recordings--Mark sang, "Here I am back in Frisco Town. . . "   Sadly, there were no cheers.   We were in Berkeley--across the Bay!    Also, most dwellers of the Beautiful City by the Bay speak of "The city" not Frisco.      So I'm really glad that this time, Mark got the whole name, even if it was across a bridge!     Those are the precious wonderful moments that make one concert stand out in happy memories.

Hey, Sweet - I am sure I ordered Oakland 2 way after you did and I have had the stick for three weeks or so. Didn't take long at all to come. Should the worst occur and you don't get your Oakland 2 stick, I will send you mine. Someone who attended the concert and has all of those great memories attached to the stick should have it! Just PM me if you lose all hope and it will be on its way to you. Merry Christmas!

Hi all,

We don't trade official recordings on this forum. What you do in private is your own choice. We only allow trading on this site from bootlegs, Mark Knopfler allowed us to record video till first concert 2008 and audiorecordings all times. So trading those are allowed here.

Thanks,
Ingrid
