...and Dylan has not...

LE

 

whaddaya mean LE?? i mean, if there is one thing bob has imho then it is prescence onstage (and a humongous back catalogue.)

[Love Expresso]

I will get more into detail when I have seen him this time in Oberhausen.

(I would agree that he has had a great presence, but today he has lost a lot of it, of course in my very own opinion. From the day he stopped guitar playing and started residing behind his keyboard riser, things have changed.)

However, each to his own opinion. I do not want to start a new Dylan versus Knopfler fight here. I was only astonished about the general agreement that MK suddenly should not have any stage presence, whereas people around AMIT always admired him exactly because of that (and his singing and his guitar playing and his writing of course.)

I would guess MK knows his role and keeps his performance exactly as what it is, as a supporting act, keeping a low profile. The different sound levels are just another indication for that.

But Mark has already lowered the sound level by 2010.

I remember 2005 and 2008 being painful for my ears (even with plugs) whereas 2010 was not so much.

[Pottel]

bonaparte from this show sounds really fresh, i like the middle part with mark noodling away,...didn't like the song playing live for a long period, now like it again.
here Mark sings with the needed energy...

Q. What did MK say before the band started So Far Away on 10.07.85 at Wembley Arena?
A. Turn it up, turn it up!

So is Guy saying that the DS techs got it wrong all these years then?

Sorry I don't understand.

I can't remember 2005 but in 08 I took my earplugs out after a couple of songs. In 2010 I didn't bother with earplugs.

[superval99]

I've never needed earplugs for an MK gig, but I certainly needed them for BD last Monday!

In the recording we can hear that something strange happened in Bonaparte. Mark's mic was muted on part of the song.

I think it has been mentioned that MK didnt sing and instead played guitar licks, and all the members were surprised by that. I think Isaac also mentioned that in his blog as well.

Richard mentioned it too.
