Almost Straits / Re: Best DS tribute bands
« Last post by KnopfleRick on Today at 07:42:11 PM »In my case, there is no sense in hear a tribute band.
There is no sense in hear a band copying another.
Well, as a musician, it's fun to copy or mimic Mark's guitar playing.
It's a selfish pleasure. "I can do it, now listen."
But, as a listener, i prefer to hear the real thing.
I prefer to listen a interpretation of MK/DS songs than a copy band.
Well, there is no need to do a completely different interpretation (which is valid), but sing it in a different way, play the harmony a bit different, play different licks etc...
I totally agree with you.
Why should I listen to a copy when I have the original?

I'm of that opinion! Being lucky enough to have seen/heard MK so many times I never feel compelled to go and see a tribute band. I have seen a couple and it did nothing for me in fact I spent the evening frowning in despair! I will live with my very happy memories of MK 'Live'
On the other hand I'm sure there are some good tribute bands out there but it's just not my cup of tea!

ODR is most popular in Switzerland.
Doesn't surprise me, with all its train metaphors. We (the Swiss) are obsessed with trains.
And some of us Brits are too!!!!!!
