Sorry if I've missed a thread and this has already been discussed, but anybody going (or can afford to go) to this?

Ha, you are just 1 minute earlier than me with posting this. ;)
It's nice but only for people with a lot of money i think :o
-
Me too. Was just goin to post the info. Haha.!
Read about the gig on Guy's site.
Is it open to ANYone.?

If so, might have to go and rob a bank.! ;D

"How to book
Tickets are limited and early booking is highly recommended
Call the Events Ticket Hotline on 020 7543 1389. Alternatively complete our booking form"
I think it's possible...
But... On top of the message:
"This one-off concert, before an invited audience only, will be at The Hurlingham Club on Wednesday 9th September 2009."
So I don't know...
-
Perhaps you receive an invite and then you pay in order to support the charity? It isn't clear at all is it? I'd happily pay but I don't think I could afford to take the wife too!
-
"Tickets are limited and early booking is highly recommended"
So, if it's only for invited guests, you don't have to book early (and why limited?)
And the site says you have to book early!
My english sucks, but i hope you understand my point...
-
Seems to me if you give them lots of cash (for a good cause) they invite you. :)
Nice to see MK doing some more charity work again. I guess this will be part of a series of little promo gigs once again.
-
I have looked at booking form. This appears open to anyone with the cash. Will be a great venue, smallish crowd and bound to be some new stuff played.
-
I am a bit mystified how this has come to light. ??? I looked at Guy's Forum, but apart from a vague question about the Hurlingham show, no more info about the Prince's Trust.
Thanks, everyone for the info! I would just love to go, but it is a bit too pricey and we would have to stay two nights in London and travel down from Yorkshire. Anyway..... ::)
-
Yeah, the ticketprice is only one factor,
-
Where is the The Hurlingham Club?? Anyone?? Have to hurry to get to EC now...
-
Mmmm, I'd spring for 100 pounds, but then the cost of travel from California to London, oh wow. It would be a great birthday present from me to me though.
-
Oh, it's 350 or 200 pounds. Well, it someone would donate the travel money, I'd still do it. ;D ;D ;D
-
"Bordering the Thames in Fulham, West London" so nice and handy for you Martina!
Please go and remember your recorder. ;)

Thanks, Dusty. Will google later, too busy today. I tried to call them, only an answering maschine was on. But yes, it is close to us, we live at the moment in SW11, but move to NW3 soon.
I'll go if I can get a ticket.

I think this could be great news for everybody :D

By Public Transport:
The Club is less than 100 metres from Putney Bridge Tube station, at the Eastern end of Ranelagh Gardens. Turn left out of the station and left again under the bridge. The Club is ahead of you.
By Car:
Hurlingham is situated at the East end of Ranelagh Gardens, at the southern end of Napier Avenue. Sat Nav users should key in 'Napier Avenue' as there is restricted access under the bridge by Putney Bridge station.

i wish i could come,
It would cost lots of money...( plane accommodation gig food... pfff)
Any idea if it's a normal concert or just a little? How long would it be?
Maybe it's better if i save money to travel more in 2010... but i miss MK's lives =)
who is going?
-
I wonder if the main event will be just MK, or will there be other acts on stage too. If so, it would only be worthwhile going if I could afford two tickets (

-
As the booking page on the Prince's Trust site doesn't mention other acts, I'm presuming the main event is a full MK concert and the exclusive first part will be a meet 'n' greet for those with very deep pockets.
I guess it depends what you class as a "full" MK concert. The promo band will probably have a set of around 45-60 mins prepared for their promo gigs if the last album is anything to go by, so I would guess that's what will be played at this gig. I seriously doubt it will be the full 2hr set from the "proper" tour.
-
As much as I love MK I don't think my partner will let me warrant those prices for a ticket :(

wanna go too!!!
marina!! wanna goo......neeed tickeeeetttsss....
am in doubt as to whether i will even go out on a roll and get the vip tickets with the personal performance.....boy oh boy...sms martina.....
-
I tried to call them yesterday when I was on the road, but there was only the answering maschine. Then I sent the booking form to them before I went to the EC show at about 7pm BST and now I got the answer via email that all VIP tix are SOLD. They offer me the 200 GBP and 100 GBP tickets which are still available, but when I spend this amount of money, then I also want the 'private' concert before the official show and one of the best seats.
Anyway, I'm on the waiting list...
Anyone lucky?
Best,
Martina

i am sure you'll GET LUCKY martina ;D

Yes, I'm lucky, nothing to do with MK.

Damn, damn, damn.......... Why am i so skint at the moment. :-\
I'm saving for the gigs next year, then this comes along. :-\
Arghhhhhhhhhh.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I might consider going back into male escorting for a while, to raise some extra cash. :-*
What does a knopflerholic do.??????????????????
I was definately hoping to catch at least one of the promo gigs as well, and i bet they will be a more reasonable price.

Very very attempting but I don't think I can make it. Will have some holidays in july and august, have to save to pay my new car in March, hope to attend some promogigs and then the tour. But on the other hand I want it I want it I want it.
-
I would consider going but I would need to know whats happening ie how long is the promo gig going to be etc, it says on the webpage that theres another private gig for the "loadsamoney" people before the main event??
I checked with Ryanair & I can fly from my local airport to Stanstead or Luton for a few euro. An hours bus trip from there & I'm in the middle of London & its cost me very little so I wouldnt mind paying the
-
I already changed my mind. It's loads of money, but IF the tickets for the gig including private gig will be available through markknopfler.com and I can get one I will go. So now busy working, doing some overtime, earning some more money hopefully :D
And IF I can get a ticket ................
I have to think about how I tell one of my best friends who will have a big big party that day that I will not be there. But that's second, first want to have a ticket!! ;)
-
I have mixed feelings about the pricing, etc of this gig. On the one hand I would dearly love to be there for the exclusive part, but on the other hand I find it quite elitist, especially as we are led to believe that MK is a socialist and therefore, in favour of equality. He has rather disappointed me in this and I would have thought it better to have a level playing-field of tickets for everyone on a first come first served basis at a price somewhere around

I just hope that all the people who have

i hope to be one of them
will not eat for several days to be able to afford it, but that is worth it....
-
val has a valid point though, and i think you should raise it on guys' forum
-
I personally wouldn't raise it with Guy, MK can't really win, he's just trying to do his bit for charity by charging a bit extra for the privilege of getting to the M&G.
I mean, it's a shame we couldn't all afford
-
mkay...
got excited again...wanna go though...
-
No, I agree, best not to raise it with Guy. I hope a lot of money is made for the charity and that all the REAL fans have an amazing time and that all those who were not great fans before, go home converted to Knopflerism! :D :P
Let's hope that there will be a DVD made or perhaps even televised - that would be great. After all it is only a month after his 60th birthday and it needs to be marked in some way. :)

This sort of thing happened already by the past :

It doesn't look very hopeful on the official site. I really hoped to get a ticket there, but it's very quiet!

yeah, still no news....sob...sob.... :-[

I'm going to the gig and will happily stand at
-
mmm....draad,...would you be able to still get me a ticket??
i don't wanna risk waiting for a poissible vip ticket from the official site and not go at all in the end....then i will stand....at first i decided against it...but i wanna be there....damn!
-
tickets available from Monday, June 22 at noon GMT on markknopfler.com
-
yep... and just today did i order the 100 pound ticket. anyone interested in it when i can get the 350 version? (to get my cheaper ticket i mean of course)
-
I would love to go too but share some of the same reservations as previously mentioned. To justify it i would have to leave the other half at home (cost-wise that is) and it really wouldn't be that exciting or relaxing traveling and attending the gig with no one around that I know.
Anyone thinking of going from the North East (of England)?
-
I try to get one ticket, but time of sale at 12 GMT is very unpleasant for me as I'm then in a meeting.
Now, waiting for Qualifying at Silverstone here...during England summer at 17 degree Celsius. :)
-
moi aussi...altough my meeting finishes at 12. then i need to eat, tough choice for me...food,...ticket.....food.....food....
-
Hey,, i just got an invite from MarkKnopfler.com!!!!! Does that mean they`ll pay for my airfare and accomodation if i buy a ticket? ;D
-
yes, and mark will pay you so he can play for you, before the show...
-
I am going to try to buy a ticket as well. Keep in touch all, maybe we can do the same hotel! I keep you updated if I managed to get a ticket.
-
hehe, the excitement....
got the site opened now, refreshing automatically every 10 minutes....
-
lucky you !!!
i can't this year :'( Hopefully in 2010 i'll be richer...
Enjoy the show and don't forget to record it :P

No one, as it says it's for VIPs.

No VIP-tix at all!! I was there refreshing 10 times a second, so first sec I tried to order and ....nothing!
Real disappointed, seems that there were very very little tickets! And because I am not a VIP no chance at all!

@ingrid ... and have you ordered other seating tickets or have you now no interest in the gig ?
-
Hi Joerg, good to hear from you again.
No I didn't order other tickets. I already decided before that I wanted to go to London for the VIP-thing, that was worth the high price and travelling for me and not to go for the other.
So no Londontrip on the 9th of september for me :'(
-
that's really pity ... I've got reserved seats and hope the gig will be worth the trip. I've read that pottel has tickets ... so let's see who else will come.
see you on tour or perhaps on a promo gig.

Ingrid, I decided to get me a reserved seat for 200 GBP. Doesn't hurt anyway and they play just a few miles from us... But that was really a weird ticket sale... now, looking forward to see EC (and Winwood) in the US next week.
-
i might be wrong, but when i tried at exactly 13h our time which obviously is the 12gmt they announced, i did get through, only to find out the bleeding vip site still had my old credit card information. --> meaning, i did get through that very first second, but then i went out again, changed my creditcard info like ASAP, went back in after 2 minutes (literally) and all was gone....
so yes, i am going to, as i had already ordered the 100pound one, just to make sure, but this sure is a big dissapointment to me, at least until the 8th of september that is, one day later i will be closer to happiness again, i guess......if anyone is obstructed from going, i am buying your ticket (the vip one that is)

Pottel, I did get through as well. The server was able to answer the requests, but was not able to allocate tickets for the requests.

OK guys - here's the plan. Get the
-
I am guessing MK has nothing to do with the pricing structure of the tickets and I am sure he thinks the venue is a good idea being located in his 'home' town.
However it's a shame he couldn't have staged the gig in one of Britain's 'quainter' locations. We have some beautiful cities with beautiful venues. They don't cost a fortune for taxis and accommodation is very reasonable. And they are easily accessible. London is not. Unless you live there right in the centre of town.
I would have paid twice the asking price if he had played in some obscure location (a la Boothbay for example) but the expedition/pilgrimage itself would be an ordeal that I think would take the shine off the whole event. And to travel all that way for 60minutes is also a lot to ask.
Next time maybe?

Anybody have any idea as to the start and finishing times of the gig, because i'm not sure if i'm going to stay overnight, or try and catch the last train home. Also, anyone know if there is a dress code.?
Cheers BBB
-
That was the problem Pottel. I was in the first sec as well but there were no tickets available to put in the basket, simply because they couldn't be allocated. I had my quick checkout updated early in the morning to avoid every problem, but no VIP-tix in the basket, so nothing to pay :'(
-
Hi. Just a query regarding tickets for this gig.
I was unable to get to my computer when the tix became available, so Pottel was kind enough to order one with his credit card for me. I was just reading the regulations for picking the tix up................
INTERNATIONAL Residents: Tickets for this event are to be picked up at the venue on the night of the show. In order to pick up your tickets, you may be required to present the following:

i guess only i can pick it up, but can then simply hand it to you....

...........over a nice cold Stella. ;D

I doubt if it will be as strict as that BBB,su're all Pottel has to do is collect the ticket & flog it outside the door for

Hi. I'm just in the process of finding a CHEAP hotel right near the venue.
I just thought i'd see if anyone who's going has had any luck finding anything close.
I'll give it another week looking, but i'm just going to have to bite the bullet if not, and pay whatever.
Wonder if the Hurlingham Club would let me pitch a tent in their gardens.? ;)
Cheers BBB
-
We need to find a pub close to the gig to meet up in beforehand don't we? Anyone any ideas? Don't know the area personally but will put out some feelers. Better to meet in a nice local pub than some crap pub in the centre of town I think.

I know that we havent got notification of the time of the gig etc but I would imagine that its going to be 8pm ish.
I should be in London fairly early that day so if some people want to meet up for food, chat & a few beers earlier................ well, I'm available :P.
Apart from BBB,Arthur,Pottel,Martina & me,who else is going form AMIT??
-
would love to meet up, def.!!
-
Does anyone know the time of the charity gig? To me this will be an ordinary working day in London.
Close to Putney Bridge Tube station is a pub called 'Eight Bells' http://wcities.com/en/record/23,103574/1/record.html. Otherwise there is nothing really around, it's not a public event area.
-
shall we all meet there then??
-
my son and his girlfriend know the area v well - she lives in Putney and he seems to spend most of his time there(!) - and I'm waiting on some feedback from them. Let's keep the Eight Bells in mind if they don't come up with anything better. Will let you know asap, but likely to be two weeks or so as off on holiday in a few days.

Hi. I need some advice if possible.

Well Nigel,
I have to be at Stanstead Airport for 6am the following morning to get my flight back so I was going to book a hotel close to the airport & do my travelling after the gig (& a few more pints if someone is available) rather than having to get up at the crack of dawn & travel back out from the middle of London ???
I'm open to any suggestions???

I just read some info on the canadian MK website that may be of some use.

Ok Knopflerados,
do we know whos going from the forum?Did anyone get any info on a good pub near the venue so we can meet before?? I'd imagine mk.com will be in contact re dress code & tickets in the next week or so,but then again theve not been at their best over the past few weeks - do they even know that its on :-[ :-[
BDW,is there anyone at a loose end on the day as I was thinking of doing a bit of a tour :o
I've never been to the RAH so I was going to go there for a look & I see that British Grove is only a few tube stops away as well so I was thinking of going there for a look also :o
Is there anyone interested,we might go for a few pints as well :P :P??

I'll be in London from about 11.00 in the morning, so i'm happy to meet up with anyone whenever, although i was hoping to go to HMV in Oxford St for a couple of hours around midday, just to pick up some cd's.
Cheers BBB
-
Ooh BBB and I will not be there to join you at the HMV store and help shopping. You know I am pretty good at that ;)

i will be in central london from about 7:45 or something, as i arrive at 7am. anyone up for breakfast ;D

Which airport are you flying into??Im flying into Stanstead at 10am so by the time I sort out the hotel etc & get into central London its probably going to be 1ish????I still havent sorted the hotel but the most logical thing to do is to book somewhere near the airport & get back out there after the gig - dont fancy trying to get back out there from London for 6am :o
Anyone up for the RAH & BG scenario or is it going to be the pub for the afternoon :P :P
-
I certainly wouldn't mind seeing British Grove, but at the same time, i'd like to meet up with everyone asap for drinks etc.....
Just an idea, but i'll be at the HMV opposite Bond St Tube station at around midday, so if anyone fancies meeting up at the entrance to HMV then let me know. If not i'd be happy to meet up somewhere else.
Cheers BBB
-
now that we know who is going, and that I'll fix up a good pub for us all, I would suggest we PM each other with our mobile numbers and that way we can obviously link up easily on the day. Nigel - I already have yours from the GP/JI gig. Am getting excited big time. Have managed not to hear any new songs and hopefully it will stay that way till the Hurlingham.

Somebody had to do it guys.
Just back from a beer tasting tour of the pubs around Putney Bridge.
My vote is the Duke's Head and Mrs draad and I will be there from 5pm on the night, probably earlier.
On the river. Little outside area where they BBQ, and pretty good pub type food. Nothing special, but believe me, there is nothing special in the area. After 6 pints they didn't get much better!
To find it, cross Putney Bridge to the riverside on the opposite bank from the Hurlingham Club and turn immediately right. Walk for two mins and you are there. A big cream coloured building.
I am the guy who looks like he owns the place.
Be there or be square. ;D

Somebody had to do it guys.
I admire your dedication to the team ;D

Any firm meeting place yet?
Like i say, i'm free from about midday, so i'll happily meet anywhere.
Can we arrange something now? I like to have things organised well in advance. ;)
HMV Oxford St. Opposite Bond St Tube Station? ;D
Then i can gt my fix of music buying too. :)
Cheers BBB
-
see a few posts above Nigel. ??? Will be in the pub from 5pm. There are no great pubs in the immediate vicinity - I think The Duke's Head is ok, and we'll get some decent food for sure. Had a nice lunch there Saturday. Hope to see you there. If I get to town earlier, I'll call you.
-
Yeah pub sounds great, i was wondering more about during the day as well.
It would be great to meet to travel around London from as early as possible. For me, i want to make a whole day of it. Pack as much Knopfler related things into it as poss.

Good lad Arthur,a true professional to take one for the team :P :P

Anyway,does anyone know anything about the dress code in this gaff,are jeans & a t shirt acceptable in the hmm hmm Hurlingham Club or is it a no jeans job :o :o :o

Ticket says smart/casual. BTW for anyone looking for accomodation, there is a Premier Inn right on Putney Bridge.
-
I think i'm going to wear jeans & a smart shirt.
Hopefully they'll let me in. ;)

I would think of no blue jeans and no trainers - and you should be fine.

Hello all!
Thanks for your mail Marky ;-)
Indeed, David Perbal and I have bought 2 tickets for Mark's gig at the Prince Trust. These are reserved seats (not vip seats), 200 sterling pounds each.
Unfortunatly, it's become impossible for us to arrange the baby sitting of our 2 daughters (family not available), so we have to sell our tickets. If someone is interested in them, we can arrange a meeting before the gig when the tickets can be handled and the payment can be made.
If someone is interested, you contact me privatly so I can give you all the information.
Yolande.

Thanks so much for your welcome Allen and Shangri La, I am so touched !! :D
David will come and see the messages himself ;) He'll be very pleased.
It's a very nice forum indeed, some place to discuss since Telegraph Road is down... Thanks for creating it and give your time for it.
Cheers from France,
Yolande.

Hi Yolande,
Thought I need to point you to our MK forum. It is a nice place without editing! ;D Oh, you know what I'm talking about, do you? :o
Welcome!

Hello Yolande, Welcome to the forum! It is very nice to see you here. I remember meeting both yourself and David in Edinburgh and Newcastle. Best wishes to David!
-
Hello Yolande,
Welcome to the forum ;D
-
A thousand thank yous to you for your welcome Marky, DS and Superval!!!
It's true Val, I remember you from Newcastle and Edimburgh, you bumped into Mark in the street LOL and he asked you "how you were this time" LOL very classy!! 8)
Marky: ok, ok, it's just my 3rd mail... lol editing is fun ;D
Cheers,
Yolande.

i heard about you during the last tour, but can't remember if it was specifically because of yourself or due to your friend the legendary David :-)
(only positive stuff of course ;D)

Hello everybuddies,
Seems it's impossible to come incognito here ;)
Thanks for the kind messages.
How are you ? Hmmmm it's hard to recognize everyone behind the nicknames he he.
Like Yolande has said, it's hard for us to find a way to UK next week because of the children who go back to school :'(
Good night
David
PS: like I love so much "Baloney Again" and like my big friend Elian/Poupystar has worked hard and long on the DVD, here is a "souvenir" from 2002 with very nice solos :
pINQ597COPo
PS2: but for me the best live version is just with Guy, from France (of course!) at Canal+ / Nulle Part Ailleurs during the STP promo tour. I have put my original audio recording on my website : http://www.local-hero.org/php/main.php (http://www.local-hero.org/php/main.php)
The sound in the TV venue was incredible, loud and perfectly clean, surrounding you. It remains a very special moment for me.
Enjoy !

Merci Pottel!
I'm not able to make the same sentence in German I'm affraid... ::) ;D
Hope to see you all on next tour ;)

Welcome David.
I remember watching Mark on Canal and it was a beautiful version. But the 2002 one is also one of my fave, if not my fave.
The night that was officially filmed and recorded did have it in the setlist so maybe one day we could enjoy it in perfect quality ;D

Have been trying to figure out what songs from Get Lucky we might hear on Wednesday. Bearing in mind the band make up that night, I'm going for
Get Lucky
The Car was the One
Cleaning my Gun
Remembrance Day (with or without a few kids)
Would love the whole utterly fantastic and breathtaking album but the other songs perhaps need Matt, Richard, Glenn, strings etc to sound album good.
We'll soon find out :D.
-
dude no!! need the piper and the tv and gas song....

Just booked a travel lodge in Fulham. Only 1 tube stop from Putney Bridge tube station :)
Can't wait!
Cheers BBB

Of course we all expect detailed reviews with nice pic

But for that you don't need to be in the venue ;D

Pottel is going to record the IEM, then post on MK News all about it. ;)
Seriously though, there probably won't be IEMs at such a small venue, just ordinary monitors.

I know we also have a set-list-thread somewhere but I would bet they play some of these:
So here is my GUESS:

I've picked up David's and Yolande's 2 seated tickets from Prince's Trust this morning. If you want to buy them, contact Yolande immediately. Tickets are in my pocket now!!!

I'll ask Dan (Waterline Man) to text me the set, then upload it here tonight. :)

Dan will have neither the ability to speak or text by the end of the night! ;D

God I wish I was there right now :( .I hope they film it and broadcast it somewhere so we can all see it.

I'm thinking of everyone at the moment! I wish I was there too! :P

Well, Get Lucky was definitely played, because Dan just phoned me and let me hear it!
Thanks Dan!
Even down a phone line it sounded great, can't wait to hear the proper recording. :)

Dunno, wasn't played often in 2007, but I love DWB. ::) Sorry! ;D
-
I think it's probably likely, the band lends itself to doing DWB I think. You can never rule out Sonny Liston either.

...and maybe Donegan's Gone too i suspect..... :-[

Can't beat the house for almost sure ;)and donegan's gone i think :P

Listening to Brothers in Arms down the phone right now! Thanks Dan!

Wow. Great set. Thanks for the update. :)
-
Only two songs off the new album? And I'm more than surprised that MfN is back :o :o
-
Money for nothing back...
And If this is goodbye! Nice 8)
-
some songs weren't played in full, there was an interviewer aswell. I stood next to pete townsend all night.
-
No WOL? ??? ??? ;D Although there are no skippers on GL so far I really hope to hear SFFTC and PTTE... Nice to see that monteleone made it onto the set. :)
-
OK, just spoke to Dan and Maarten, the pre-gig VIP show was Behind With The Rent, Marbletown and one other song that Martina can't remember (!). They all met Mk and got autographs and stuff too. :)
-
Was behind with the rent played live? :o :o :o

Yup, but you had to pay BIG to hear it. :)

-
Good to have our people there!
Indeed! AMIT is first with the big MK news once again! :)
-
Great to get reviews so quickly. I look forward to reading the rest tomorrow.
-
Home now so can use the laptop.
It was great to go to a MK gig for the first time since 2001 and not know the setlist. I was in the cheap standing area with my pregnant wife. Somehow I managed to stand by the stage all night. On my right were the guitar techs on my left was seated Pete Townsend with an incredible young exotic looking lady :-X
The whole show was predictable compered and Mark was prompted along his set by him. However MFN and Sultans sounded fresh again. Loud and almost aggressive. Why worry was fantastic and the highlight for my wife. We were also told at the start that it was being filmed for TV. Interesting.
-
@ Matt, could you guess the one Martina forgot?
@ Banjo99uk , thanks soooooooooo much for your review, and really exciting news about the TV filming!!!!!

-
the one missing was secondary waltz ;D
-
so banjo, you must have seen me then. stood left of pete, next to the two fine folks from germany (ho gave me their ticket numero 1A at the end of the show, so i could then have it signed by the almighty J. McCusker.
was the one with the blue polo shirt, who in the middle of the show stood somewhere two rows behind pete...banjo, were you the long haired bloke??
-
despite the absolute amateuristic organisation, he performances themselves were top notch.
if this is goodbye for example sounded the best i have EVER heard it., so did going home, brothers and even the short sultans...
even the dreaded sonny liston sounded good. too much talking in between though...
-
Hey Pottel
No I have a shaved head due to premature balding head and I was leaning on the bannister behind Guy all night with a short girl ( my wife ) behind me.
-
God I wish I was there right now :( .I hope they film it and broadcast it somewhere so we can all see it.
the guy filming (one of five camera's!) said it was gonna be on a dvd. he was using 2 50GB discs!!
-
Just realised my wife said she saw them give you the gold ticket
-
did you then see me? guess not. no problemo, we still have RAH next year.
t'was nice to get to know draad and waterline man, nice to see martina again, and nigel, and the usual suspects from spain and switzerland.
-
yep, and after Going home i wanted to rush to Pete Townsend to get HIS autograph on this number 1 ticket, but he ran towards the backstage, not expecting BIA to be played i guess....
-
For some reason I knew he was an MK fan but cant remember why I know. Cool to see him there. He was really into the whole set. Seemed to know every song. Who'd have thought The Who and Dire Straits together. Albeit not playing together.
-
Pottel wrote me a textmessage, the setlist was (I suppose in order):
STP
Sultans (incomplete)
True Love
Romeo (incomplete)
Get Lucky
Why Worry
MFN (incomplete)
Monteleone
Sonny
If This Is Goodbye
Going Home
BIA
-
yeah, pete was nodding his head the whole show, could not see his face though during most of the show, ould have loved to see him enjoy it.
-
:) ;) :D NICE WORK folks. Can't wait to hear anything that our people were able to tape. Hard to believe we are back into another Promo tour so soon after the last full tour and before the release of another CD, Tomorrow (here) - fingers crossed the stocks arrived...... ::)
-
Sounds like a great night! Thanks for all the reviews, folks. I would love to hear Behind With The Rent (my favourite track from KTGC) live, but I guess the VIP part was not filmed ...or was it? Also, was the VIP part only MK or full line up?
-
full line up.

Any picture shots or audio snippets ?

Great job all. Anyone know who did the stage set-up? Was that palm tree already there or was it added to reflect a "Get Lucky" Las Vegas feel?

Excellent pics! The ones with National are brilliant :) Thanks for a link, Allen.

God it's late!
The Hurlingham Club is 40 odd acres of exclusivity in west London. To get to the hall you walk through gardens, cross lakes, pass fountains etc etc.
At the show there was a compere type fella called Robert Lindsay whose job was to ask Mark questions, obviously prearranged. Mark would provide an answer, in a v relaxed and often humerous way, and provide a song or part of a song as an example that would answer the Q.
At the start of the posh bit he was on stage on his own with an acoustic guitar. He was asked how he went about writing songs and he talked about how a little tune would play around in his head and how it would gradually build itself up to something more substantial. Behind with the Rent was the example he used. Next up was Secondary waltz after a direct question about the song. The other guys were on stage here and they provided some humerous backing vocals at times and got a few laughs from the audience - "a fat girl got left on the side" etc. Next up Marbletown. Brilliant it was but can't remember the question that led up to it.
Main show next. MK was 15 feet in front of me! Again questions and answers. "Mark - why do you have so many guitars?" "That looks like a famous one Mark "(the National). Stuff like that.
From the new album we only heard two songs, Get Lucky and Monteleone, but they were brilliant.
STP came up - Mark singing for Mason and Dixon. Great Sultans, a bit of MFN, Local Hero too. If this is Goodbye - no Emmy but tops nonetheless.
Backstage afterwards, which was v fortunate. Spoke to Guy, Danny and William Topley. Pete Townshend was there. Once again missed out on talking to Mark. Could have but wasn't brave enough to introduce myself! Gotta get over that if there's a next time.
Was it worth all that money - oh yes. This was MK like you don't see on tour.
-
Thanks for the beautiful review, draad! I'm refreshing Local-Hero.org page http://www.local-hero.org/php/ontour2/voirinfoconcert.php?idtour=20090&date=2009/09/09 , hope to read more reviews and see more pics. Thanks again!

Taking pics unofficially was strictly out. I have a couple of pics of Mark's guitars as they were taken off stage at the end, but that's it. :(

Thank you everyone for the wonderful reviews! It all sounded amazing - I was thinking of you all! I really hope we get a DVD or something on TV, eventually. BTW The Getty pictures looked fantastic, Mark looked great! ;D

the one missing was secondary waltz ;D
yep, just listened to the recording. Three songs during the VIP reception. There were only 4 fans in, the rest only the rich and famous people overdressed ;) and sipping champagne.
-
Was behind with the rent played live? :o :o :o
During the VIP reception, MK on his own on accustic, later some bits with GF.
-
Thank you for sharing this with us lucky people who were there!
So, Arthur, did you give Guy a slobbering kiss (with no tongues) on behalf of "his" President? ;D
How about Danny, did you kiss him for me (the President of the "Dannyettes" (umm, that sounds like a brand of yogurt (on se leve tous pour....)

Great to hear you all had a good time there. Hope to hear some recording soon.

Having been "rested" in 2006 and 2008, I'm ready to hear MFN again. :)

did anyone mention we got to see a knopfler son at a knopfler show? not sure which one of the two it was, he was sitting in the same row or one row behind mr. draad, wonder whether he noticed that (mr. Draad, not Mr. Knopfler Junior)
so the guys filming said it was going to be on a dvd, supposedly. there was two camera's, one on each side of the stage, then there was one in the back and one or two remote controlled ones at the backside of the stage. the interesting part will be to see how they will cut it.

Will probably be released at the same time as Madrid 01...
Shame Pete didn't join MK for a tune.

damn right...his companion was of the right age dusty, no worries ;D

Ben has long dark hair and an eyebrow piercing, Joe has shorter hair and wears glasses.
Ben posted some stuff at facebook last night so I suppose it was Joe, unless Ben had a laptop with him ;D

did anyone mention we got to see a knopfler son at a knopfler show? not sure which one of the two it was, he was sitting in the same row or one row behind mr. draad, wonder whether he noticed that (mr. Draad, not Mr. Knopfler Junior)
Ben has long dark hair and an eyebrow piercing, Joe has shorter hair and wears glasses.
Ben posted some stuff at facebook last night so I suppose it was Joe, unless Ben had a laptop with him ;D
BTW great to read your reviews, keep them comin'! Nice pics, too. MK looks fab with that blazer.
Kitty, Joe, Robyn and the full Mk management was in during the VIP reception. Also some 'older' members of the MK family who I don't know.

Hello,
Thanks for the reviews and for the pictures!
Mark was really looking very smart that evening.
Today Mark is in France at Taratata tv program (don't know when it will be broadcast on tv). It's been a long time since French fans are for him to be invited in that tv program (the best French music tv program imho). They must be rehearsing by now ;D
See you,
Yolande.

As you all might have noticed the Hurlingham Club gig was filmed. I don't know if they use it as an official DVD or something, so I'll wait for an answer if I can share my bootleg.

Nothing has been announced about an official recording. There're only rumours, that perhaps never go into reality. So I think you don't do anything bad sharing it. It's my humble opinion.

Please share the concert!! lol

I think it's fair to exercise some caution here. They might be deciding whether or not to release the official recording right now. They might be saying "Yes, but RLRR sold poorly, should we bother releasing this?". Then they find out that thousands of people already have a recording, they might decide not to bother.
I'd love to hear it too, but I'd rather have the pre-shot DVD. :)
Perhaps you could contact PCM Martina to try to find out what plans they have for the recording.
All that said, if teh VIP show wasn't filmed, I think you could release that. ;)

They will not mind if thousands of people (hundreds actually) already have an "audience" recording, much poor than the official one. And people that are die hard fans that will buy "everything" they release.

@pottel
I think there is another signature above John McCusker ... first name Ben ?

lol, i only gave my ticket to john.
no ben there...

It looks like "Best wishes" to me ;)

curious ... john signed my ticket to RAH last tour and his signature is identical to the second line on your ticket.
I think koobaa is right ...

Might it just be another TV showcase like the ones in 2007? ???
Re: the release of the audio. I think the fans will still buy the official release. The 1983-07-22/23 were both released as fan recorded audio bootlegs, and an official release DVD of Alchemy is prolly the most sought after MK/DS work of all time.

Regular people doesn't know nothing about bootlegs or where to find them, and they never mind on poor quality recordings. Do you really think that the MK&Emmy DVD had low sales because there was an audience bootleg out there??? ??? ???

Sorry if this has already been mentioned (I've not read all the earlier posts), but in my experience there is usually an announcement made when a show is to be recorded for TV or official release. Did the guys who were there hear anything to that effect?
I've read somewhere that the gig was shown on TV screens at the Hurlingham. Perhaps the professional cameras were there just to broadcast the pictures for those screens?

I think there is no harm sharing the audience recording until there is an official anouncement of the release, if any...
As far as I know, the release or not has nothing to do with Mk or PCM, but with the Princes Trust. They ask MK for permission to tape the show for a dvd for the charity and he said yes, so I guess the princes trust are the one to contact.
And they

Btw, a funny story: after Local Hero I thought that was the end of the show and unplugged my device. Then I saw him coming back and went to the front plugged in again and recorded it. Puh! Now, I was standing next to the big speakers there, hence the sound. :P

Uh, is it just my impression or is Sultans (just like WoL) getting slower and slooooweeer with each tour? I mean, it's still a great song but it's not supposed to put you asleep... Listened to the Hamburg 2001 recording recently and boy, what a speed :o

many shows in the past have been filmed or recorded but never they saw the light :-X

My guess is that it was probably the Prince's Trust itself that filmed the show rather than MK/PCm, and that they will most likely try to sell ito a TV station to make more money for the charity. Somebody should ask the Prince's Trust.
-
Actually I don
-
I think everyone, and I include MK/PCM in this, recognises that those who collect bootlegs are the real hardcore fans and they will also purchase all of the officially released stuff too. Therefore, I personally don't foresee any problems at all with releasing a DVD or audio recording of the show.

Hey Waterline Man. I just had a flashback from the gig last week.
I need you to jog my memory as the free wine had gone to my head, but i remember as we were leaving and walking through the grounds after the gig, we were laughing about something (so hard in fact it hurt ;D), but i can't remember what we were laughing about. Can you remember???????????

Yeah, I think Marks voice is a lot better than Emmylous!

Yeah, I never liked it on the AtRR tour. In fact it's not one of my favourites anyway although this is one of the best versions. I agree with Mark though: "why bother!"
Hope they don't decide to play it on the next tour.
-
Well, there you go, it's one of my absolute favourites, but not with Emmylou! I would love to have it on the next tour, especially if he performs it as well as at Hurlingham! ;)
-
Hum I was on the opening nite in Brussels for the ATRR tour and for the encore I ended just in front of Mark.
The begining was very sweet and then Mark just play this chord on the acoustic with a great dynamic in the sound. Whaou it was very short but so I-N-T-E-N-S-E....
Apart that the NHB from 98/99 was one of my fave with the 91 version that closed the show

I always enjoyed the NHB versions and just like you, ds1984, I stood right in front of MK in Manchester in 2006. It was very special! :)

If yes on which fret?
-
I'd say on 5th. That's how I play studio version and it sounds right. The intro/chorus part is a brilliant piece of melody. One of Mark's best recent tracks IMO.

Thank you very much!
Do you have the chords too?;)
-
I'm not good at writing chords, I do it all by ear but here you go ;) Should be close. The secret is in right hand picking of course as this song has a great groove.
Capo on 5th fret and then:
Intro:
Em, D, C
G, D/F#, C
C, D/F#, G, C
Am, Em, C, D/F#
Em

Thank you very much for helping me out!!!

Hi can anyone say what the excerpts of the songs were all about? Did he intentionally play shorter versions or did the recorder only catch 'excerpts' of the songs? Many thanks
-
he just played bits and bobs to answer to the questions.
nothing special...

Thanks Pottel. Did this not seem rather odd though?

Simon, He did the same sort of thing at Hay-on-Wye in 2007 and it didn't seem odd at all, because it is all part of the interview and in context. :)
