If there is sax, it can be from Privateering tour. In Get Lucky tour the ending song was Piper, but I think GH got played once or twice.

So, will the performance on the night be a genuinely live performance, or playback, I wonder?

Defo?

I cant buy it from itunes because im in Spain... Nice.

I will try amazon etc, im sure i have that version but i wanted to buy it and help the fund rising...

Edit: Amazon doesnt work for me either, I need an UK credit card...

Well, I am very sorry by the fund rising that will lost several downloads from people outside the UK

If this article is anything to go by then it'll be live:

Mark says he is "looking forward to being there to play Local Hero once more."  He said it!

It also says "Mark Knopfler and his band" so who will be in the band, I wonder?

On Oldfiled's Crises album, "Ant" is credited on guitar, for Moonlight shadow, and maybe Crises (not sure)

is it a common nickname ?

Short for Anthony.  Dec is short for Declan.
