Dire Straits Legends - Mantova 2013
« on: May 10, 2014, 08:24:03 PM »


Well, the principle of the thing is questionable, BUT i thought they sound good, notably the instrumental. Nice surprise. The singing is bad, well, who can sing like mK? Stars of the show? Pick Withers, one of the worlds best drummers. Also Richard Gere ermmm Phil Palmer HE IS GREAT!! wonderful solos. Nice to see that the guy playin MK

Thanks, I enjoyed that.  Skipped some songs but what a set!

Ive downloaded it to my phone and will give it a listen. The set list sounds great but I may struggle to get past the first song if the vocal is awful.

It's always difficult to sing Knopfler songs anyway but trying to do it with the added handicap of it being in a foreign tongue must be really difficult.  Foreign tribute bands always have that hurdle to overcome.

Apart from the terrible singing it isn't that bad at all

Sounds like someone from the cast of the 'The Godfather' movies crossed paths with a semi-decent DS coverband.

It may sound somewhat DS but the "touch" isn't there, obviously.

Alan Clark would leave The Straits for this band in a minute if they made him an offer he couldn't refuse!  ;)
