Title: the other will smith
Post by: Banjo99uk on July 17, 2010, 01:04:46 PM
Dont know if anybody knows about a British comedian called Will Smith.  He is a massive knopfler fan and toured the country a few years ago with a show called "ten arguments I should of won". One of the arguments was that Mark Knopfler is a genius.  I went to one of the shows and it was brilliant.  He played alot of DS songs while we were waiting for him to come on stage and at the end he played a video which is below.  Its the only clip I can find but its very funny. If you want to see it go to his clips page and watch "stalking the man". Its about a bloke from the BBC who wont release his favourite TV show Bergerac on DVD.  You may recognise the music and something else.

I hope he didn't formally call it "ten arguments I should of won."
The correct phrase would be "should HAVE won."
Sorry, I've been editing copy for 45 years and can't stop.

I still get a smile on my face when I come across something I've either not heard of or deen about Mark before.

Take this clip below, I mean I have never seen this before.

Check out Mark's little part and solo lol.

Sweet Jesus thats the worse thing I've ever seen or heard, I'm off to bleach my eyes and drill my ear drums, maybe that will take away the pain.

As I started watching, I actually thought to myself there was no way that Mark would be playing on this track, but then bang, there he is for his tiny bit lol.

Agreed, "charidee" or not, that has to be the worst thing MK has ever been involved in.

I knew this video for years. Mark is playing a nice short solo! And the beginning, middle and end ;)
I like it. There is also an instrumental version of Voices that care.
Maybe you like this one more?
