Where is Mark?

[KnopfleRick]

No Mark! Very disappointing.

Where is Mark?

0.36 to 0.39 is his guitarsound i think

Yes, was my impression too!

[Robson]

I was expecting something more. And why is there no video.

  seems correct, played inside a cavern and recorded from 100 meters away, sounds like a joke

[naif]

Ridiculous really.

[quizzaciously]

Ridiculous really.

Clearly Whispering Bob is a huge fan of Mark's!

Seriously though, this song would really suit not only MK's playing, but voice, too. Maybe we'll see the director's cut with more of this Mark guy featured.

I was expecting some MK tremolo twang in the instrumental\bridge part. That tune us made to be played on marks Jurassic strat. But no just a few distant indeterminate licks that could have been played by anyone....

It's not, shall we say, optimally arranged as a piece of music, but then speaking from experience, that's basically impossible to achieve once the artist count gets above 5 (try arranging 50 plus student voices on whole school recordings into something that's musically listenable, especially when half of them are out of tune! 😂).

I suppose it's not so much about the product though, much more about the charitable cause so we can't really moan too much!

I think I heard Mark's playing in a few places. A quite overdriven sound with typical MK phrasing, but completely buried in the mix, almost not audible. Strange.

I would have thought someone of Mark's stature would have had a more prominent part in this, the other 2 big name guitarists are seen clearly so why not Mark? he could have been shown playing a great solo too

Duane Eddy had that covered.
