Thanks everyone for all your lovely words with regards meeting the man himself - yes still can't believe it!!! It was unbelievable to say the least and I hope some if not all of you will experience it one day.. MK did not rush either and gave each one if us time. I guess there were 10 of us all told and Ingrid and I were 4th in queue..... He did look espeically pleased to see the Fender MK tags and gave me a smile. Meeting MK - priceless!!

Now with regards to a question about Tunnel of Love, I would personally say thankyou for not playing it and Sultans - I got the impression you will not hear that as much just like on the last tour... Far better tunes available ne thinks. I personally   feel Mark has far better tunes/songs available and its time to move on....

Totally agree, Knopflerfan!    At first, I admit that I was disappointed that SOS wasn't being played, but as the tour progressed I really didn't miss it at all and enjoyed other songs, such as the wonderful Gator Blood much more. 

I have made a little compilation of lesser heard songs on the tour, including Miss You Blues, Dream of the Drowned Submariner, Back to Tupelo, 5.15am, Yon Two Crows and a few others and I realise I like them just as much as I liked SOS, but in a different way- especially BTT - MK's guitar is so beautiful!   These are also really good songs for winding-down at the end of the day!    :)

Regarding TOL.  I would prefer to remember it as it was played in '85, because if it was played again today, I have a feeling it might be a great disappointment - best leave it where it is, a beautiful memory!   ;)

"...really good for winding down at the end of the day!"

That just about sums up a lot of Mark's work these days.  You summed it up well Val. :clap

Neither did i ( my first ds concert was 1992 and they played TR) but i prefer listen to 85 recordings than continuing to hope for a new version which i am sure would disappoint me after all.

A good pair of citterns would do the trick, as with TR...

The line "citterns burning up above" has a welcoming sense of permanency to it regarding any further use of them! ;D

Audio recording recieved from Ingrid (thankyou ;))

Another interesting comment from Mark on Friday when asked about the great Chet Atkins was that Chet would at times visit 'Dire Straits' while they were recording and one time Mark asked what Chet thought of this particular time to which he replied 'I like what you are trying to achieve'!!!!
I reckon Chet would be very pleased and proud of his fellow 'finger-picker' with what he HAS achieved to date!!
