I posted that video here a few months ago when they were in Brazil. As I said back then, their tour was promoted as a Dire Straits tour. People went to the gigs and posted pictures on social media with hashtags such as #direstraits and #theyareback. It was embarrassing and disgusting.

My opinion about those involved? Marco is delusional. The others, well, they need the money, I agree, so hit the stage and do your thing but keep your mouth shut and don’t pretend to be what you aren’t.

I never took their words too seriously, in the contrary, I always took them as jokes and having fun, but I understand some of you have your feelings too delicate about it...

Each to its own.

I watched another interview with Marco, Phil and Danny at a place in Rome and must admit that without AC present they actually seemed alright and credited Mark and his songs on a few occasions.  They all appeared to have a genuine love for the songs too.  They even joked about Marco's accent when singing the songs!  I wonder if the band would be better off without AC...

So this is how they sold tickets in Brazil:

“Dire Straits, now called Dire Straits Legacy...”

“Mark Knopfler is not part of the new lineup...”

How can I possibly respect these guys? And please, don’t tell me the band don’t know. Phil doesn’t like Mark, he’s made it clear several times. Alan is the bitter dude who never got over the ex that dumped him 20 years ago even though she is happily married and has 5 kids with another man. Marco is the rich kid who buys friends with his videogame. Danny... well, Danny is the lovely bloke who means well and everyone likes regardless.

Alan, as a person, seems to be a particular guy. When I met him I got the impression he was at another different dimension or planet than the rest. It was said that he left The Straits because he wanted to play his own songs and not only the DS ones, but it looks like he didn't had a good relation with the rest of the people. I won't be surprised if he leaves the Legacy any time soon.

But in musical terms, he was as important to DS during his years than Pick was during early DS years and I'm sure that his pursue of having a recognition has something to do with the " DS are..." and "produced by DS" in the OES record.

By the way, it doesn't matter if there is an specific thread to talk about Legacy, the band who release a cd with their own songs, his part as DS tribute band always drop everywhere...

Maybe he was. His look suggest drugs. Maybe his personality has suffered. Mark usually skips drug people.

Not sure about drugs. 100% sure about plastic surgeries

MK was vocally anti drugs in the 80s so I think this is unlikely.

We don't know how everyone managed to survive the OES tour, and with the divorces, according Ed Bicknell, there were many after that tour, maybe the drugs problems came after.

Anyway, Alan and Mk worked together three times after the OES tour, the swan hunter concert by the Nhb, a master session that it's in video and the opening of the Shearer pub in Newcastle.

And I think that also in John Illsley wedding, if I recall correctly, nothing else since then that I know.
