I asked John at FB about the date of the first Dire Straits concert because I had doubts and answered right away. Maybe someone will dare? Or maybe it's naughty  :hmm

This is the date of the first DS concert at Farrer House. In all diaries it appears like July 1977 but it's wrong as it was in the Deptford Festival at Crossfields Estate (the back garden at Farrer House) and as you can see by this advert, it was on 26th June 1977

Have a listen to this for an amusing anecdote about how MK got the gig playing with Squeeze...

To me, seeing just John and David singing whatever song as a duet would be special enough.

But we are in the wrong thread for this conversation...
You're putting a brave face on it Julio but any performance without MK would be an embarrassment.

The only song they could possibly get away with without a proper guitarist would be Walk of Life.

If they wanted to do Sultans or something they would need Marco or Terence or somebody. They would be a laughing stock.

I can only see it kinda working if Keith Urban, John Mayer, Brad Paisley or any other good/well known singer/guitarist takes the lead. Anything other than that will be embarrassing imho.

That would be OK. Urban is a fan. Can he play MK style?

Paisley is a huge fan too. Mayer has said more than once he likes Mark’s work.

Urban is a brilliant guitarist, I’m sure he would deliver. I strongly recommend his first album with his original band, The Ranch. You can notice the DS influence very easily - and it’s incredible!

It doesn't need to be Knopfler style, because that automatically triggers cringe alert. In fact, my favourite thing is then people play Knopfler songs in their own style, e. g. Gregorian. Absolutely amazing and one of the best covers of "Brothers In Arms" ever and with no MK style reference at all, not even 0%. It's just have to be done right, but of course if could as easily be destroyed completely via unfaithful imitation or bad taste or even both.

We are talking about one off at the Hall Of Fame ceremony, not about a formal tour or something like that, we are talking about something where Phis or whatever its spells play Genesis songs of the Gabriel era while Genesis members (except Gabriel) look from their tables, where Neil Young plays with Led Zeppelin etc etc etc

To me, it looks like some of you are taking this too seriously... John and David can easily play with acoustic guitars "Wild West End" or "Six Blade Knife", even with Alan at the piano (as Alan and David did last year) just in representation of DS. It's not that serious, it's not that formal

John has sung and played even the lead guitar of Sultans in its own tours some years ago, now he is back to bass but he used to play guitar. I know it cringes but, again, this is just the Hall Of Fame ceremony, not a formal reunion. If it happens like this, is because MK doesn't attend, so look how serious and important is...
You might get lucky, now and then
