Knebworth deluxe edition
« on: June 16, 2010, 10:46:47 AM »
Walking in FNAC (France's largest records + books + electronics shop) I just found a 2-DVD+2-CD collector edition of the 1990 Knebworth concert.
As far as a MK is concerned, you get (under the name "Mark Knopfler", not "Dire Straits !") 3 songs featuring MK, JI, AC, GF, PP, and Eric Clapton on guitar + Phil Collins on drums !:
- Solid Rock (nice I prefer the On The Night version)
- Money for Nothing (I prefer by far the Montserrat version)
- Think I love you too much (very nice to have, absent from On The Night) !

Also, nice to see MK introducting Elton John, who plays "Sacrifice" and others accompagned by the full DS band :)
You also get plenty of nice things, among which, "Shin On" and "Run Like Hell" from Gilmour-led Pink Floyd, Pauc Maccarthney, The Shadows....
The Picture Quality is not fantastic, it shows its age. Better than Alcehmy, but worse than "On the Night".
The Sound Qaulity is pretty ok.
Anybody else tested it ?

Not seen it but just to let you know MK also plays on Elton's song Sad Song's.

I have had a 2 disc set which is very simular to this since 2002! my copy has had the audio re-mixed with 5.1 digital stereo sound and is awesome!!!

Yes Mark playing 'think I love you too much' is a highlight for me, espeically as he says it could be on their next album (On Every Street) or it might not and subsequently it didn't appear!!

Excellent version of 'Money for Nothing' and 'solid rock' both versions have excellent hi-hat sounds on them!!

Here is my version:

As well as a DVD there is also a cd already out!!

ok :) yeah, it is not a french thing, it's written in english all over the place, so I guess it is available in other countries too... but one can never be sure about those strange geographical limitations sometimes (Simfy, are you reading this ? ;)).
