I'm puzzled by "I Used To Could" ??? Doesn't make sense to me. ::)
And that song about this New York Policeman seems not to be on it neither.

My 2nd child is due at the same time as the new album, I'm not sure which I'm most excited about. (i can say that as my wife doesn't read the forum)
Holy cow! Am still totally excited because I saw Springsteen for the first time last night and he completely blew me away with a three and a half hour set, and now I read these news! A double album, OMFG!! This will be another sleepless night for me! Cover reminds me of "Into the Wild" ;D
If Corned Beef City is the only rocker this time around I'm gonna lose it ;D
Indeed, if this album is in the tempo of Haul Away, getting through double discs may be challenging ;D But we'll see, the length would seem to imply a great variety of styles and tempos. At least there's some blues in there.
My jaw is on the floor actually, thanks!
But the cover is just horrible, I think. Third soulless cover in a row from the 'great' Salvador Design (I'm sure Priveteering is their job too). It's all IMAO, of cource, but... what a default fonts, two clearly visible layers of photoshop and strange composition? Looks like bonus photo inside box or something like that.

Concept album would be perfect! The album that came the closest to a concept album in my opinion was The Ragpicker's Dream. Would be nice if he could do something like that again.
Jackal, maybe going to a show this time if the album suits you? ;)
LE
I dont think he'll ever stop as long as he physically can. He may just wind it down rather than going across the planet.
Yeah, now we're talking! High time Mark would break out of the mould and do something different. I just hope it will not be a regular Mark album x 2, but that he exploits the 2CD format and makes some kind of concept out of it. All in all I'm excited. This time I'll try to stop myself from listening to snippets and just buy the album in its "virgin state".you saying this will be his "the Wall"? ::)
After The Fish and The Bird
and the Early Bird
now the BlueBird !!
Bluebird is a song from Paul McCartneys Band On The Run album which was recorded on one of those famous boards at British Grove... Just thinking...
But it would be a real surprise if MK would put a cover version on one of his own records, wouldn't it. Might be a good question for Guy! What do you think? 8)

Hi Jarle - It means "over there" as in "Over there's my Privateer, see how trim she lies" or "Over there two crows". Can also mean yonder, or "That one over there"
You don't think 'After the Bean Stalk' is a song about Jack do you who finds his true love after he buys his cow back with the gold coins he stole from the giant? Could make Romeo and Juliet sound tame!
I am the opposite of you, ds1984. I really love "Privateering" and "Haul Away", but not very keen on "Corned Beef City". I am looking forward with great excitement to this new album, but unlike you, I am a folk fan and I loved KTGC - still listen to it in fact! I find the cover very interesting - there is more to it than meets the eye, I think. :)

I'd rather have a 38 minute album with killer songs, than a 150 minute 2 CD album with a hodge podge of good and bad. Sorry, but even Mark can't fill two CDs with great songs. Unless he's going in a certain direction with the album, it's very difficult to sustain the attention. We'll see.pretty convinced mark will wrong you there amigo! :lol

10 tracks on every album will mean not more than 50 to 55, 60 minutes (at the most) playtime on each CD - besides there are some unusal long tracks on it (which means more than 7 minutes for me)... I am sure Mark will NOT fill both CDs completely with 70 to 75 minutes. Last time he did that was Golden Heart...
LE
I can imagine hanging out with and around Bob Dylan was probably a great inspiration to Mark, in terms of prolific songwriting.
I can't recall exactly, but did they have all of these songs in the can before the tour? How many sessions afterwards?

wrong, read guy's replies and posts,it is clear bob totally ignored the band, but bob and mark spend more then an hour a ay, alone. And that is what guy (can) tells usI can imagine hanging out with and around Bob Dylan was probably a great inspiration to Mark, in terms of prolific songwriting.

How can he be inspired by "hanging out with Dylan" when he did not? IIRC, they didn't even have lunch together, or a post-concert drink! Exchanging a few licks and enhancing some of Dylan's strange song arrangements does hardly count as a inspiration, IMO.
People, please stop obsessing over an MK/BD collab. It's over, done with, finished. Time to move on.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the MK.com team located in Toronto, Canada? I suppose they are sleeping at the moment.
And while I'm at it, I saw one of the members over there slinging some statistic dirt at AMIT recently :(
Which apparently backfired enormously seeing that the MK.com's 51000 users (3400 if counting 1 post or more) managed some 34000 posts since the beginning yet AMIT's 900 members almost made it to 45000 despite being one year younger ;D
Sorry for the off-topic!

The cover art suggests (to me, anyway) that it is a "state of the world" sort-of album. The wheels are off, the engine's stopped running and we're back to a rougher, more basic way of life - or, at least, in danger of same.
And TK and MK NEWS are linked with MK's management and record company. This has advantages and disadvantages. The major disadvantage in terms of the likes of a new album is that the record company employs marketing and PR staff and they will have developed a plan for "launching" the new album. And TK and MK NEWS will have to comply with these arrangements
"The deluxe box will have a cd" that is, obviously, nonsense.
oct. november? i seem to remember buying tickets then...
I would link this cover with the on for TRD : poverty. But one shows some happiness, is even hopeful, the other one has a depressing feel.

This cover looks like the economical future for a bunch of people.
When you are hungry you don't care about the sun.
This is the meaning I give to that picture.
Let's see what clue Mark will give about it.
I thought about it lately: Following the diary of the 2010 tour, it seems to me that the US are still a little "difficult" to tour for Mark - only very small venues, not that big audiences, maybe very expensive because of much travelling etc. So maybe MK kills two birds with one stone: Maybe a slightly longer set list as the 70 minutes from 2011, and that might it be for America. And after that, he tours Europe with a hopefully much longer set list - and without Bob! ;)
LE
Hey dmg, I had the same idea two weeks ago - it seems very likely to me that he maybe replaces "his" US part of his own tour with the Bob-part and then returns to Europe and do a "real" proper tour!I thought about it lately: Following the diary of the 2010 tour, it seems to me that the US are still a little "difficult" to tour for Mark - only very small venues, not that big audiences, maybe very expensive because of much travelling etc. So maybe MK kills two birds with one stone: Maybe a slightly longer set list as the 70 minutes from 2011, and that might it be for America.

I've just thought of something regarding these tours. Does anyone think that perhaps he will do the US with Dylan, play a few new tunes to promote the album and then return to Europe and tour here with his band on his solo tour without returning to the US? It would be a big undertaking to tour for such a long time (Dylan US tour, then solo world tour) so he may use the Dylan one as a kind of replacement for the US leg of his solo tour. It would be a pity for our US buddies.
And that song about this New York Policeman seems not to be on it neither.

Mark toured in the US solo in 2005 and as a double bill in 2006.

I always wondered what
I have always felt there is something extra special being a fan of MK, not only is he an amazing guitar player, song writer, producer, but he is a great man, we are very lucky.
Sorry dmg, but you keep harking back to 30-odd years ago, when MK was in his late-twenties and thirties! He is now approaching 63! You keep going on about his lack of energy, but will you be the same as you are now when you are 63? Unfortunately, I doubt if I'll still be around to know! :lolSorry to argue my case but I never raised the point that he sung better than ever. I still feel that even at his age (which isn't actually that old) he could still manage to give a little more sweat! :)
He once said to Clive James: 'I'm not a singer, I just stagger from one crisis to the next'.

You might remember I commented that MKNEWS put "Provisional track list" when refering to the Privateering double cd tracklist...
Well, right now, in MKNEWS and at mk.com, the tracklist is GONE.
Maybe it doesnt mean anything, maybe it means something, and if it does... what does it means?
If it does mean something, I think about the 2cd version will have less songs, and that songs will be added to the "deluxe box" in order to make it more attractive... thats my guess.

Hmmm. Have to say I find it ever so slightly disconcerting that they have removed the tracklisting from both MKNews and MK.com. Would be somewhat of a let down if they were to reduce it after having already announced it as a 20-track double album. We can but wait.
Or the super limited edition for the fans of AMIT.
The great irony about this is of course that what is supposed to be so great about MK News is that the 'news' is always official, reliable, definitive, and pretty much set in stone.

Actually, since the very beguining, in MKNEWS it was said "Provisional Tracklist", as I mentioned here the very same day it was released, so, if there is any change, we knew that it was provisional, so, its official, its realiable, and since it was said as "provisional" is not, obviously, set in stone.

Three years between albums should mean room for some old goodies as well. Like Dylan and Springsteen do, for example. But MK wants to be in control of all such stuff I guess, so no time.
There is an interesting interview from a couple of years ago where MK talks about money and that he doesn't want or need any more. He said something like "what would I do with it? buy a yacht?". I think Mk is mindful about the cost of cds, tickets ets to his fans. I am sure he could easily make more
money if he wanted to. It would be interesting though to see the difference in album sales if all his solo stuff was labelled DS.
I must say that some of the song titles sound really promising: Hot Or What, Gator Blood, Don't Forget Your Hat... I really want to hear them as soon as possible... How long, how long baby, ....Agree that it sounds very promising but I don't pay too much attention to that. Live material can be so different and much better.

It's difficult indeed. I should have played it with capo on the second, but I realised it afterwards. The electric guitar player is Wiebe Hof, great player and one of the nicest people you can think of:)
The album obviously contains brandnew material that is located on both sides of the Atlantic and offers lots of different genres - the usual stuff about any MK album - BUT they also write that "for example, there are "many" new blues tracks on it...".

This is a more detailed text than what I had found - I was just about to add a new line about that all the song were "thoroughly soulful" - a line I found in another German newspaper.

Universal Denmark announces an "interview" with Mark on 09 and 20 July:
http://www.universal.dk/nyheder/mark-knopfler-%E2%80%93-privateering-album-ude-3-september-2012
Der er mulighed for udvalgte interviews med Mark Knopfler p
About time we had a new "Privateering" section on AMIT? Instead of cluttering MK general???
If my second language is not off its course it translates into:
"There's an opportunity for selected (persons) to interview Mark Knopfler on Monday the 9th of July and Friday on the 20th of July. Please declare you interest as soon as possible if you are interested."
My guess is that the record company in each country is handed a window of opportunity for journalists and such to make telephone interviews with Mark by calling a linked number.
You have to GO to London for the interview. Just read a tweet from Leo Blokhuis that he is going to London July 9th to interview Mark.
Also he tweeted that he listened to the album via plaympe the streaming music site universal is using to let people listen to new music pre release.
That's normally the same way new music will be available illegal online.
I am not hoping for it but we will see.
Does anyone know where we can read/see/follow the interview?This will be available in muziek.nl the magazine. Will be in the next issue.
Guy said in his forum that the 5 bonus live tracks on the 3CD set have been recorded "during the rehearsal period". I am not sure what to think of it. Why would one use rehearsal tracks when all the forthcoming shows have been recorded?
Amazon Germany has the "deluxe CD and bonus CD listed for 36,70
Salvador Lavado has a new MK related twit, too:
To my Knopfler Pfollowers, I should be completing the album art the week!

This time there was no filming at British Grove it seems.

Thanks ustas! I will go for that one, then. Hope it will be announced in Germany, soon!Hello.. Do you know where can i watch the Shangri La EPK? I was watched on youtube a few years ago but now i can't find it.
I wonder what exactly will be on the EPK. This time there was no filming at British Grove it seems. Might be a short one this time. (I loved the Shangri-La EPK, but found the KTGC one dull and uninspired.)
And I wonder where's the rub with this complete download? Do you all really believe that it will be manageable, easy and work without any unprofessional conditions? ;)
LE
Hi, Naif,Thank you LE. I have shangri la but only album not deluxe version or something and everybody pays what a good song...
I have it because it was a bonus CD with the album in 2004. I am not sure where you can find it elsewhere.
Here are some clips that at least give an impression - although the Summer of Love clip was not part of the epk:

Strange that when you search in google "Knopfler privateering" the first result is a torrent where its supposed you can download the 2cd record... that its fake.

Actually, I
If it says a "full concert" it would be foolish to include a 2011 set because it's only half a gig. Therefore it may be a concert from 2010; they may jeopardise potential concert ticket sales when people think the average MK concert lasts about an hour by releasing a 2011 gig! :-\
I don't hope it's one from 2010 when it's a Simfy recording. I would love to have one from the KTGC tour.

So the prices in Euros will be:
- 82.53 euros (according to the Russia website)
- 87.20 euros (according to the Ukranian website)
More or less what I expected, it will be around 80-90 euros, 100 euros in Spain thanks to the VAT increase approbed by the donke... errr, the spanish government.
Yes, thank you both, I have read all these and I am willing to believe since they come from a reliable source. But still it is very peculiar if not suspicious that the sites that actually announce it come from the former iron curtain. How and why? But I am really not that curious, just making conversation. The time will come and the it is less than 48 days. ;)

Now seriously, not kidding, it's not right place for any political discussion.
This is a MK thread.. Not a political. I can talk about politics for ages but please not here. I don't want to read all those discussions when I'm looking for MK news. Thankyou. No offence intended

As it was discussed above Universal Music Japan will release the local version of Privateering on SHM-CD (cat. nbr. UICR-1098) on 5th September. It looks like strange because since 1996 UM never released MK albums specially for the Japan market. Generally, the local Japan releases have bonus tracks. It's done in order to stimulate the buyers in Japan to prefer the local releases instead of a cheaper import from US and Europe.
Referring to Ian's interview (45 tracks recorded) and Guy's message (25 or for about it finished) I affraid that Universal and Warner have a good possibillity to mix or to change the track list for the each region like Sailing To Philadelphia or Private Investigation. The Noth American release is not announced by Warner Bros yet.
Well, not that things are quite complicated enough, with all these super deluxe stuff, isn't it? :lol
LE
If any of you bought that SMH or whatever Japanese releases, are playable with any cd player or you really need a SACD player?

If you question links to Japan version of Privateering - it's SHM-CD, not SHM-SACD. You do not need the SACD player.

What I dont understand is why local releases are expensive in Japan... Nosense
The reason for the extra UK tracks on STP was to try to stop people buying from cheap online Hong Kong based retailers like CD Wow. Now that nobody buys Cds it doesn't matter. :)
Mark currently on holiday in Italy
http://www.ansa.it/web/notizie/regioni/toscana/2012/07/19/vacanza-Montalcino-Mark-Knopfler_7209203.html
Google Translation:
Holidays in Montalcino for Mark Knopfler after the land of Brunello were chosen as a goal by Paul McCartney in June on the occasion of his seventieth birthday. The founder and guitarist of Dire Straits, according to reports from Montalcinonews, chose the countryside of Montalcino for a little 'relaxation, guests of the resort Castiglione Del Bosco, where he also stayed the former Beatles.
For me RT does not reach the high level MK set with many many compositions. Positive thing ist the nice clear sounding lead guitar. Otherwise RT ist a bit lame, the chorus very weak and too repetitive. Maybe the album this time starts with low tempo, then becomes mid and high before at the end of cd 1 we have again lame tracks.
This time MK News published all the lyrics for Privateering.......
The more Guy denies to tell us the track lengths (as once more today), the more I am sure that there will be a lot of very short songs on the album. Also two vinyl albums don't offer too much space for some long songs... I would bet on a lot of 3 minute tracks...
LE
We have a double album of 20 new songs to look forward to and from what I see of the lyrics, some of them have quite a lot of verses, so at least some of them must be a decent length! Also some songs may look short in length, but these may be the ones with the longer guitar solos.
I am just ecstatic that we are having so much new material to enjoy very soon! My cup isn't just half-full - it is positively overflowing! :D

Thanks SV, I was starting to get quite concerned about this whole issue. My mind is now at ease. ;)
same problem! can someone record it and put it into a audio file ?no. Too late now. It is out there Emiliano, no piracy now
You can listen to the previews even if the UK store isn't your local store.
It's not on the french store.
Miss you blues is a nice blues song too.
Nope. In Bed, leaving for "Beaumont-du-perigord tomorrow morning. Holiday!!
search for the album, try to play the preview, it will ask you if you want to change the store.. then try again
LE
Go to the very bottom of the iTunes page. One of the option is Change Country. Just click on it and pick UK. When it loads, just put in Privateering and up it pops!
LE happy! High quality stuff, music to dive down into...
Hope my long post above didn't spoil it for anybody.
Some ear catching tunes in my head now. Go Love, if you're going....
LE
Btw, was any of the listeners able to listen to "Haul Away"?
LE
Kingdom of Gold seems to one of the stronger MK songs. It reminds me very much of "The new Laird" - mixed with "Sands Of Nevada" in way...
About Kim Wilson:
I could imagine that there are a lot of people that might not so happy with the fact that there are a lot of classic blues STANDARDS on this album - something that is not typical for MK:
After having listened to these snippets
-Don't Forget Your Hat
-Hot Or What
-Got To Have Something
-I Used To Could
-Gator Blood
-Today Is Okay
I can confirm that Kim Wilson plays heavily on all of them and these are typical blues numbers with the typical twelve bar chord progession, including the standard sub form variations. So people who love the way MK mixes styles and offers a melange of everything, might be disappointed. But it all sounds so great, with a lot of guitar in front (not automatically solos), and almost all of those six listed songs above are so energetic that I really am happy that he finally did it!
Roll on, August, 31st...
LE

Yeah, same here. I thought tracks 1 to 10 are all "favourits" and I just cannot tell which one I like the most - they are all great. Gator Blood is really cool -
and I bet there will be guitar solos in these blues songs - some kind of duet or duel with the harmonica if you like. The expectations were really high this time, and MK did it! It all sounds really fantastic!
Lot of forumers seem to be on a holiday? We are just a handful of people talking about it. Dusty, Goldenheart, bbb, where are thou! Or maybe you don't want to get spoiled? I wrote SPOILER into the subject line last night but it's gone (I thought I could do it as it was "my" thread if you know what I mean)

Firstly, thanks to JVG, very kind!
I'm amazed... I'd never expected a blues record!
The Botti contribution is great, and Wilson and O'Brien are everywhere...
Also Moody sings a lot.
Far better than I expected, a totally different record from the previous ones.
BRAVO!
Much, MUCH different than what he has done until now, from the DS days till Get Lucky.
Probably a good and - as always - well-produced album but blues is not my cup of tea.
I'll definitely pass on this one. For the very first time for a DS / MK album.
Hope you all will like the album. Only positive reviews so far
Go to the very bottom of the iTunes page. One of the option is Change Country. Just click on it and pick UK. When it loads, just put in Privateering and up it pops!Wow, that's easy! Thanks much. I'll check them out now.
BEST MK SOLO EVER!!!
edit: finally, finally oh thank god finally there's uptempo, there's plenty of blues, there's folk
It's got everything that defines my taste in music!
I think I died and went to the South ;D
edit II: Gator Blood reminds me of R.L. Burnside's music, check it out
Huh, what a nice surprise! So... After having a quick listen through all the snippets I think "Yon Two Crows" is my fav. The blues songs I find boring - but then, that's just a first impression.
So nice melodies! Miss You Blues is circulating in my head now the whole afternoon...
Border Reiver, could you name some moments where Tim O'Brien is present?
LE
I couldn't resist and had a good listen to the snippets on iTunes. You all are going to hate me - but I'm deeply disappointed with the previews. :disbelief
Of course, these are only snippets - but in one minute you can get a fairly good picture (after all it's nearly one third of the whole song in some cases, I guess... ;)). Too many similarities, not one single song that caught my interest. These "blues" songs all sound the same, like the 100th rehash of "You Can't Beat The House" - even the bass parts are similar. What happened to the melodies MK was cabable of wiriting? And of course the lyrics? And the guitar playing?
I'm no DS fan and think "Get Lucky" was Mark's best album for ages but this album really puts me off. Can't believe it is a double album because they obviously couldn't decide which of these songs to leave off. I couldn't have either, because they all sound too similar :P And if Mark wants Ian Thomas because he is said to be such a great drummer, why don't he let him play? He could have used drum samples and it would'nt cut a dash.
Something must be wrong with me and my taste - sorry. ???

It that a clarinet on The Dream of the Drowned Submariner? Is it chris White? Or another Botti contribution...I think Chris Botti contribution. Doc said that on his forum.
My slide god is not Landreth but Elmore James
Yeah, at times the clipped British accent seemed incongruous to the blues.
Much, MUCH different than what he has done until now, from the DS days till Get Lucky
There are like 15 or 16 OTHER tracks that are not blues songs, and still you choose to pass? Go figure ...
I have heard this earlier, and now I really want to ask (but in a friendly way ;) ) : What's wrong with MK's slide guitar playing? I loved it when he did it on
Water of Love live and I loved in on Donegan's Gone and for what I heard now it is still wonderful - many forumers seem to think he isn't good at it? How comes? My slide god is not Landreth but Elmore James, and I think he COULD play...
Can't find it on iTunes anymore by the way, but it might be too early in the morning, will have another try...

Music isn't just about technique it's more about feel / vibe / emotion !
Just one one bent note up a tone, can (usually always) hit me harder than Ywnigie or Satriani.
I think Sonny Landreth should have played on this album !

Dylan's been doing it most of his career! ;)
My favorites are Gator Blood and Radio City Serenade. For now of course...
Hi Val! It's like a metroland theme isn't it? Maybe more melacnholic, romantic and deep. And Gator Blood has some powerful slide solo with high volume. I can't wait to listen the whole thing :P After KTGC and partly GL this is awesome :) He came to Istanbul for a KTGC tour but this is the worst tour he ever did i think(still like a dream but...). so i really hope he can come again Istanbul for Privateering tour in 2013. Otherwise i have to cross the continent and spend a lot of money. I have to see him in 2013 :PMy favorites are Gator Blood and Radio City Serenade. For now of course...
Ha Naif! I have Radio City Serenade going around my head at this moment! I love it! :)
Naif, it's not that expensive to come to Holland. A lot of my friends travel to Turkey pretty cheap. Checkout the flight to Amsterdam or Eindhoven. From Eindhoven it's about 1 1/4 hour by train, but the flights can be very cheapYes ingrid i know we have a lot of dutch friends in Antalya. But you know if i fly to amsterdam it's not going to be a one day trip. I love to discover a lot of things like cultural food, buildings, historical places... in the other hand i'm a teacher and i don't know my 2013 lesson plan yet and will they do a summer school or something like that. When you have a boring, rutin life in 23 years old you can see tomorrow but one year after, i don't know yet. BUT i'm sure HMH must be perfect place to see MK and i'll do that yes. They can fire me :) In 2008 we had open air gig with the 14.500 people in the bosphorus but the audience and Mark isn't good enough for each other.
I had a strange feeling listening the samples.
Up to now when Mark wrote musical stuff he turned the inspiration he got from into definitive "Mark Knopfler's" style. Even the buesy tunes he played by the past with Dire Straits were sounding like nothing else.
When he decided to make it the cover way that turned into the NHB, it was fun rendition.
For the first time yesterday I was bemused to listen some original MK stuff he absolutlely did not write a single note.
I like blues very much but oh my god what Mark is doing on this new album is just blues stuff already heard thousand of times, and here with absolutly no originality.

I'm listening to that one with subwoofer-amplified headphones, and it's awesome.
Man, LE, I love your reviews of this album! They make me love the music even more.
There is a lot of blues on the new album, yes. But it grooves SO HARD. That crazy rhythm section just beats me out of the room literally. I know now why Danny was rejected. Ian rocks! Danny rocks too, but in his own way, certainly not in the blues. It's hard to listen You Can't Beat a House even after just snippets of P-g. I can listen groovy blues like new ones all day long.
Radio City Serenade - oh, I sing it for two days now and can't help it. Same key as Stand Up Guy and similar feeling. But that a song! Ahhhh, it kills me. I want more!
Thanks a million for uploading snippets!
Hi brother, nice to have you on board and nice you put this review online.

And DWB with the usual "you and me Richard"-joke.
It must happen. It must. It must.
Fans already say: When MK is not changing too much the next tour it will be their last concert visit.
Always the same. And they are right.
Now the band has 20 songs to fit in the concert schedule.
Play 5-6 new ones and it will be cool.
Blues numbers are always nice when played live. They simply rock

+1!! There's blues and there's blues, and this blues I like a lot! For example: EC, great guitarist that he is, his voice never really gave me the impression that he really is a blues man, while JJ Cale has it, and Mark really echoes some JJ stuff here. I don't think I Used To Could is the weakest track like written before, I love it. Repetition and monotony is an integral part of this kind of music, and MK really has had this in his music from day one (Southbound Again). So he hits it perfectly, I would not say he just copies things and has not composed a single note of it himself. Music is feeling over all!

Here we have a deep impact on this album from the Dylan Tour: the Bluestracks. This new album is very american again.
i loved the maximum volume of dylan very much.
Haha Val, great minds think alike ;)
And harmonica! ::) ;D
but nothing when i compare the gigs of dire straits, i will never forget the hurrican of PA at the concerts in munich olympic hall on the every street tour.

I agree Lars, it sounded perfect and because of that it didnt feel as loud as BD last year.
The loudest MK/DS gig I've ever attended was during the OES-tour in september 1991. MK en co were playing the Ahoy in Rotterdam and indeed, it was a real 'sound-hurricane'. But it sounded perfect, one of the best MK/DS gigs I've ever seen and heard. With Planet of New Orleans and Tunnel of Love.
Lars B.
The louder it is doesn't make it better.
I remember going to a Clapton concert some years ago and it was so loud, I couldn't actually hear the music, because my ears started buzzing and I was praying that the sound tech would turn the volume down.
Holidays? where is the mobile internet, or the ipad? ;D
They were not exactly famous for being that loud, weren't they?
LE
in front rows you have less volume - because they don

When I go to a concert I want to hear the music in my head, not my stomach! If I wanted body punishment I would take up boxing or wrestling! What is the point of going to a concert to hear beautiful music, if it can't be heard!! ::)
I have been front row most times too and I love being there, so close to MK and the band - remember Bournemouth Ingrid? 8)
I agree with Ingrid - I loved hearing the beautiful quiet parts of songs and also to hear Mark's voice, so soft at times, just barely whispering some lyrics almost to himself. Those things would be destroyed with blistering sound volume.

Oh sure. MK is going bluesy so he must have been inspired by Dylan. Because he is his idol. The legend. Blah blah bah. Give me an effing break!! >:(
You missed somthing Fordie, I am pretty sure that it is because one of our members has downloaded the snippets ;D ;D ;DSometimes you're the windshield, Sometimes you're the bug. But don't worry, nobody got hurt!

I am not a fan of Dylan, live, but I do enjoy a lot of his songs and albums, so if MK was so inspired by being with Bob on tour, to write some extra blues songs for "Privateering" I am overjoyed. It is just what I have wanted him to do for years and from what I have heard from the snippets, they sound great! For those who do not like blues, there are also some other really beautiful songs on the album - enough to keep most of us happy I would think. :)
I for my part thought there was the Elephant Man in the very left corner of the picture above. Or Jabba the Hutt, not sure!
LE
By all means, as long as we all have something to complain about, we should count ourselves lucky.

According to a post on MK.com, John McCusker is in two minds whether to go on the MK/BD tour. Apparently he is recording an album with Teenage Fanclub. I was wondering if his services may not be needed much on this tour. Maybe Kim Wilson will be there instead.
From MK.com:
daily paper here in scotland says john mcusker might not do the mk and dylan tour,according to the paper he has to decide whether to tour with mk or work on an album by a band called teenage fanclub,to quote john "i might have to say to bob and mark that i,ll have to leave the tour"
Yes, I agree, I don't like Mike Henderson one bit - he is much too loud and drowns out MK's guitar! :o
John wasn't on the first couple of concerts on the American tour in 2010, due to visa problems, but the band managed OK without him. In fact Red Rocks and Charlotte were amongst my favourites from that tour.

I think you mean Las Vegas, he was there in Charlotte which was near the end of the tour.
They could always call on Stuart Duncan for a replacement for John.
Dire Straits was very loud. It was a Rock Show. Or call it, it was "solid rock"the floyd in 94 had the best sound i ever experienced (especially considering the fact that i was on a windy field with 70.000 others) but Marky comes close.
They sometimes had some issues (i remember a very weak gig in the olympic stadium munich, too less PA and bad acoustic) but on the other hand i will never forget Nimes 1992 in france, when all you have in your stomach was in movement, especially at the bass lines of "Private Investigations" - yes, it was a good time , ...
i was in Basel 1992 too, one of the best concerts ever (heavy great versions of The Bug, Sultans, Solid Rock and Telegraph Road)
in todays gigs of MK i often miss bit more bass and drumpower out of the PA - as i remember the Shangri La was mixed live by the same guy who tours with Eric Clapton, it was noticeable as the PA was more set on Rock ...
Best sound is very difficult to achieve in big venues, i was at U2 in Athen 2010 Olympic stadium, the first part was very bad, and the 2nd part was powerful and clear sound, sometimes a miracle what they are doing with the sound - and i will never forget the excellent sound of Pink Floyd...
Holidays? where is the mobile internet, or the ipad? ;Dholiday...is holiday amigo :-)
Must have been the longest holidays known to mankind...
LE
As many of you were talking about possible duels guitar-harmonica in the next tour... Just checked The Faboulous Thunderbirds site and Kim Wilson has scheduled some gigs that might happen during the MK tour.
http://www.fabulousthunderbirds.com/tour (http://www.fabulousthunderbirds.com/tour)
Mike Henderson site doesnt say too much right now...
My guess is that harmonica wont be needed ;D
It's in Dutch itunes now.

so maybe some hardcore get-a-lifer could grab those and paste them to the Itunes snippets, so the snippet becomes longer?
You are crazy Lars :D But IF you are really doing this I think Pottel needs to add an extra name (not because of posts but because of a real get-a-lifer-status) ;DI'm not THAT crazy that I cancel my holiday for that! The date of leaving was already planned for tommorow hahaha! Downloading samples as we speak..
LOL Lars, Pottel will come for sure I suppose, his room is always ready in my home, and meatballs, beer, G&T will be provided as well :PThat'll be fun I think:D
I like that idea Pottel, is there a get-a-lifer in here who is technical and can organize this ?
I think it never happened before in internet-age that 13 days before release in Germany and Netherlands there's still no complete leak. So Pottel: we can make our plans to join Jeroen with listening the full album on the first of September!
I can do it:-) But it will be tommorow evening when it is done. I'm in Austria for holiday now, leaving tommorow. I will put it in dropbox and paste the link here!

Have a good trip home Lars!
Jesus, this is torture! These extra seconds from amazon.co.uk on Go, Love give me the goosebumps again...

All songs are partly new parts we didn't have heard yet ;D
dudes! Did I not propose exactly that?All songs are partly new parts we didn't have heard yet ;D
Maybe if we join them up to the iTunes samples we will have the whole song! :D

I just read at amazon.de, that the 5 live songs (3rd cd of P limited deluxe edition ) are recorded at Music Bank London in 2011....I googled and read, that it is a rehearsal studio..so no live-atmosphere ?!?!
i love live rehearsals. this is the firsttime mark has given us something like that ("not finished" "not the perfect product")

i specifically mean "rehearsal" not the fact that they are unchanged. releasing rehearsals is like releasing (officially) demo's imho.i love live rehearsals. this is the firsttime mark has given us something like that ("not finished" "not the perfect product")
Alchemy 1983 was unchanged too

I'm the same as you - I'm really looking forward to hearing these, as much as the new songs! In a different way, of course.

Yes, very cool, Hot or What reminds very much of "You Can't Beat The House".
And the SOUND of all of them is really great!

Go, Love is, for me, one of the best songs MK has done in years... :lol EVERYTHING is great, the intro, the very first notes, the keys, the organ, the guitar, the voice, the lyrics, the melody.... .... :)
Funny how different is musical taste!
LE
I like the song, too, but am not sure about the lyrics. It seems to me, as if he comes and goes like he wants to, and she is "leaning against his collar" and waits and waits.... hmm, if my husband would come only to leave again...well, I`m not sure if I like that (and that`s understated) ;-) ...

"Kiss me once and I'll be gone..." is a line from one of my all time favourite MK songs, The Long Highway, and I think it is also about restlessness and loyalty... I had problems first with the sentence itself, "Go, Love, if you're going".... but then I think I solved the "illogic" in it by reading the whole line,
"Go, Love, if you're going, I'll be here when you come back".
Do you think that's right?
About the collar: Very athmosperic, I really see a harbour and the weather is bad, rain or wind, and it is still dark (early in the morning), well, the music sounds this way, and he is maybe a soldier or sailor (or both), and they are about to bid farewell. So she leans into his collar a last time before he goes aboard ship....
;)
LE
oh
so it was from a shop, not a private copy :)
Not complaining but I like when the tracks are numbered. It helps if you want to go to a particular track and need to punch in the number to your CD player. As it is here, one will have to count every time! ::)
Nice! This album has Mark's best artwork to date, in my opinion. Surprised by the GB sticker, though, since many of the songs have such a southern (US) feeling. I expected that van to be parked somewhere down in Alabama ...

Funny how tastes differ because not only do I think this is Mark's worst artwork to date but I think it's possibly the worst of anyone! Dated, unoriginal, uninspiring, boring, unattractive and not even practical. Eeew, yuk!

Record labels usually don't give away whole records for free
