Morning everyone,
Mark will be guesting on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show, on BBC Radio 2 this coming Friday, starting at 6.30am GMT. The link to the show should be:-

Cheers,

Wow thank you for sharing!
-
Thank you! Maybe he will appear on BBC1 Breakfast too - two for the price of one! ;) They are both from the same building I presume? :think
-
No. BBC Radio is from London whereas BBC Breakfast is broadcast from Media City in Manchester.

Of course! :smack Thanks for correcting me, Geordie_60! I should have remembered that it moved to Salford! ::)
-
Anyone could record a digital lossless version of it? I can listen their streaming online but that's lossy when recorded :(
-
Have a look at Get iPlayer:-

-
Shall be recording that through Virgin Media (digital Radio/television) onto my 'topbox' but unsure how to record onwards.... ???

Have a look at Get iPlayer:-

I guess that Iplayer is streaming so lossy too
-
Yes, it comes out as a constant bitrate .m4a (iTunes) stream, around 130 kbps I think, so somewhere around CD quality.
-
And that is the stream as broadcast. Most stream rippers dont rip the source, they just copy what is streamed, and convert that to .mp3 / .m4a / whatever.
-
Heard this this morning, great news. The guests normally come into the show at around 8:30am. Hopefully he'll have his guitar(s) with him..
-
Amazing. Chris Evans was the darling of Britpop 20 years ago and wouldn't have played MK in a million years.
-
Hopefully he'll have his guitar(s) with him..
I'm sure the Beryl single will be played during the interview and then maybe a couple or so 'unplugged' tunes in the studio - of course I may be wrong?!
-
He talked a couple of weeks ago about DS, and that he listened to them on cassette the other day and it still sounded fantastic. He also talked about MKs amazing house on the south coast being close to another member of DS, his moral to the story was learn to play guitar kids.
-
Thanks for the news. When will this start? I'm really hoping he could play some acoustic songs.

-

-
Original SOS being played on air at the moment!!
-

No problem at all, I am recording it onto a hard drive.....
It will be available I'm sure on playback later...
-
Lulu on at the moment... :disbelief
-
08.10 and MK is on with Chris, Lulu & Nile Rodgers - guitarist with the band 'chic'
-
Initial talk to Nile Rodgers with a few yes & no from Mark & Lulu, and now we have some music from Nile..... :-\
-
Mark talking about the power station in New York....and as Nile left Mark would 'clock on'
-
Chris asking questions....
Talking about JJ Cale tribute album, Eric asked Mark to record the two tracks....
-
Mark certainly comparing Beryl to SOS.....
-
Mark talking about making your fingers go where they don't want to go!!
-
Lulu IS very annoying!!
Mark talking about playing guitar, as someone has asked about learning to play the guitar...
Beryl single now being played...... :clap
-
Chris now talking about MK's unique style of playing. Mark talking about fingerpicking and hammer on's etc
Nile and Mark gonna play after traffic news...
-
I'm listening along with you, Knopflerfan! ;D
-
Oh gawd, got to listen to Lulu now! :disbelief
-
Mark actually got a nice amount of time to talk there. I thought competing with Nile, Lulu and the Sun/Moon would be too much..
-

I'm pleased I have company!! Lulu - :disbelief
-

Yes and hopefully more to come!!
-
All of the usual stories! The smell of the Fender catalogue, etc! ;D
-
boy that girl can 'shriek'!!
-
Chris, saying that people are comparing Beryl with the Dire Straits sound and asked Mark how he feels about that... 'Well that's fantastic' was the reply....
-
Chris talking to Lulu's guitarist who was a bit on edge playing in front of MK AND Nile, Mark awarding him a 5* performance!!

LOL I think Mark would rated ANY guitarist with 5* stars if you ask him :lol
-
Because that is the way Mark is!! Very kind, humble chap....
-
Nile about to do his version of Mark Knopfler...
Mark confirms he is London based and spends the summers on the South Coast!!
John Illsley told him about the home incidentally very near us here on the South Coast... ;)
Says that John's pub is very handy too!!
-
Nile struggling to do his version of Mark Knopfler....
-
Mark has to be desperate as he rated Lulu's singing too!!! :hmm
-
Mark has to be desperate as he rated Lulu's singing too!!! :hmm
It's The Lulu Show! ;)
-
Wish she would just pipe down a bit....
-
While the news was being read, Mark and Nile have been practising judging from MK's laugh!!
-
Mark has to be desperate as he rated Lulu's singing too!!! :hmm
All seems fantastic when Mark's on the radio.
-
Beryl being played again due to demand from listeners!!
-
Yes Mark is well suited to Radio.....
-
I love how Mark compared guitarist's pedalboard with a plane's cockpit. I really can't understand how people can go through all that stuff, too.
-
It's easy enough really.... :wave
-
Thanks for your posts Knopflerfan! Great to be able to 'listen' it this way.
I didn't really get if Mark's gonna play or not. Is he going to?
Looking forward to the recording!
-
Oh the contrast between Beryl and this pop-shit is just... BOOOM. How Mark managed to sit there without being hurt?
-
Oh yes Mark gonna play - with Nile I reckon...
-
Niles track sound's - *rap to be honest.... Not a marvellous guitarist either...
-
Mark and Nile playing 'Freak out' - electric as well... Lulu just shrieking as normal...
-
That may be that as up next is Lulu 'Live' :disbelief
-
Reasonable air time for MK but I would feel he was overshadowed somewhat by Nile and Lulu..... :disbelief
-
No chance for MK to play alone, but I may be wrong as there is just over 10 mins to go...
-
As I said it's "The Lulu Show" ! ::)
-
As I said it's "The Lulu Show" ! ::)
Yes, totally agree... :hmm
-
Yeah Mark is a kind of like a fish out of water here. I thought it would be one on one interview, not a this strange threesome.
-
Mark playing on Lulu's performance of whatever she is 'yelling' about..
-
Well I didn't heard any MK there, just after Chris said Mark was playing. LOL.
-
Could have fooled me! ::)
-
And that was indeed that - a brief mention of the Tracker album and tour and that's your lot! Not bothering keeping that.. Oh no not more Lulu...
Lulu show it was....
-
Could have fooled me! ::)
Exactly...
-
Off now to watch the eclipse....
-
I don't know who Lulu is but... i'm actually happy with that.
-
A quite disappointing messy show :(
-

A 'shrieker' from the 60's - most famous track was shout I believe which says it all!!!
-

A missed chance indeed.
Valuable MK time vasted.
-
Although the show was 'messy' at least Radio 2 had Mark in with Chris. I wonder if there will be a 'live' show at Radio 2's Maida Vale studios??
-
It was a shame Mark was on with two other musicians. Beryl isn't new any more, it's been out since January and played every day. Would have been nice to hear an accoustic performance of one of the other songs from Tracker, as that is partly the reason Mark was on the show as he has a new record out; it would have given the listener who hasn't bought the album (yet) another song to hear.
-
Just MK being interviewed without anyone else, and playing a couple of songs in acoustic would had been perfect.
This was a waste of a chance, but better than nothing.
-
MK didn't need anyone else in the studio with him. In fact he could of entertained the whole hour quite happily....
-
either ive not heard sultans of swing for a long time or that was a version I dont know. Anyone else heard that before.
-
Here is a very short (unfortunately only 5 sec.) Video on YouTube which shows Mark Knopfler on his way to BBC Radio 2.

Yes, I was wondering what that version was, a live version that sounded very much like the CD version, with thank you and good night near the end.
-
Folks, you can listen to the whole show - albeit lossy - again at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b055dz8g
The CE breakfast show is some kind of a "loud" wake-up show. I guess MK will guest in a more music-related show on the beep soon.
-
That may be that as up next is Lulu 'Live' :disbelief
Wonder what they're saying on the Lulu forum right now? Hope it's good things about Mark. :)

I thought it was okay. He may have resorted to the stand-in stories but he sounded far more relaxed than usual. Sounded like they were having fun in the studio. He always gets uptight and nervous on a one to one interview.

Yes, they were most certainly having fun there but could of done without Lulu there spoiling things - Man that girl can Screech.....

That's all it was really, an hour or so built up with many snippets.....
Welcome to the 'Lulu Show'

It was an early demo of it.

The single version was it not.

I have the 7" single and it sounded like it to me. :thumbsup
-
Oh that's cleared that up then - well done dmg...
-
I heard no difference to the single version? That one with Eastbound Train live on the b-side?
This one?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JybLlsu_ZX0
I know this versions since 25 years as the single version.
I know there is some confusion about some alternate and single and other versions, Ingo has a long page about it.

How interesting with all the versions...

That's the one yes. Is it the same version as on the Honky Tonk demo's? http://vk.com/markknopfler (http://vk.com/markknopfler) has listed this same version as Honky Tonk demo
-
Nile was on 'the one show' with Chris Evans tonight but no MK this time I'm afraid.....

Chris asked him on the radio if would come on the show! Obviously it was pre-arranged but I wish he'd asked Mark too. And Lulu! Err... ;)
-
Yes, would have been good wouldn't it. As for Lulu - NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Oh, you're a Romeo now! Congratulations on 1k posts! :thumbsup

Thanks, about time I reckon!!
-

Disagree strongly. Nile Rodgers is a great guitar player, perhaps not as great as MK but every bit as distinctive.
Personally I loved the show, thought the mutual respect between MK and Nile Rodgers was great, good fun them playing together.
But Lulu was a pain in the arse.
-
After that interview I realised again how funny is that 95% of the people sees Mark as a 'virtuoso of a guitar' and nobody, even when Lulu said she's brother is a brilliant songwriter, asked Mark about art where he actually can be called real virtuoso. Mark fooled everybody again! :lol
-
That was what made him quite unique, both a very talented songwriter and a guitar hero.

So, is anyone planning to upload? I have it recorded on my Sky box but it will be a pain to get off.

I was quite astonished that MK thinks about "downsizing" his collection of classic cars. And it was quite funny for me when he said something like you find yourself owning a van and several flightcases....

Me too! Surely he could find room for them at his huge country house! :think

Majority are probably all there anyway....

I recorded the streaming live as well, obviously with lower quality, but I was so dissapointed that I just saved it and didnt worked on the file yet. If your file is better quality it would be great to have it well recorded.
Gracias amigo!
-
So does iplayer enable us to download audio clips? I'd love to download all these BBC interviews Mark recently did, even in lossy format and quality. Better than nothing.

:smack Lossy again. Hope someone will upload a better version:-
