Indeed it's a pity and a kind of strange as well. In text and music it feels like something is missing.

I agree, looks an unfinished song   

[JeroenvG]

I am not sure about that. I agree with Lars that Guy could be wrong about this.
Or did you find another source for conformation JBaent?

Yes, totally confirmed, total reliable source said that in Spanish City Mailing List

How come you Spanish people know everything first? Who is your source? Someone at the record company?

HFB was also missing something. It has been a long wait but oh man you can't imagine the blast we got the opening 'Dam night of 2008...

Remonds me of the voice and tones of Johnny Cash (first impressions anyway).

Here's a bit of Johnny Cash and other guys. Mark Knopfler is affiliated with all of them.
Somebody might find it more interesting than song lengths.

I like this version much better though:

So I guess that one must have heard the album or does have a copy in his hands. Could you elaborate more?

I'd say it's curious version, I haven't heard it before. But Webb's softened it too much.
Oh, I see it's written by him, so he couldn't soften it. Well then I just like Highwaymen's version more.

Oh yes!! And I recorded (good old times, when it was still allowed ) that very first one of HFB in Amsterdam at the 29th of March 2008!  
Watching this again still give me goosebumps and reminds me of that surprising moment! So glad I made a video of it. (and yes, totally off-topic here)

 

[superval99]

I was there too!    I think it has improved more and more since then - it's much more powerful now! 

[Dutchessy]

Yes, In 2008 it was shorter, but some very nice guitarlicks and tricks in this version. 

[ingridswing]

It was absolutely stunning when we heard this for the first time. Yes filming was allowed that night, because of an idiot with a tripod waving under MK's nose in Amsterdam it's not allowed anymore   I still hate that stupid idiot  

I hope MK will start in Amsterdam again next year, absolutely great to have the tour started here

Carbid bombs were great too! 

[jbaent]

The person who wrote about the single's lenght didn't say he had heard or have the record. He only said that the single's lenght is the same in the album.

I won't asking anything else about it, I know him from long ago, and if he says that, I believe it 110 %, is totally reliable.

[Love Expresso]

Ok, thanks, JBaent! 

My nice theory about the missing verse has been shattered! But that's Mark...
