Hey this is a great topic Jackal!!  ;D

Hhhmmm let's see, he looks a bit angry so it looks as if he want to say to the sound technician:

"Hey I don't hear anything, are you the fool, or am I the fool!"   ;D

"I'm soo gonna kill Jack for tying my laces together!"

Btw great picture, I probably haven't ever seen it. What era is it from? Is it pre-OES?

Nicked it from this address http://www.mark-knopfler.info/guitarspensasuhrcustom.htm. He looks younger than during the OES period, so my guess is yes. Plus if he had had the flame maple one at that point, he'd either be playing it or it would show on the picture :)

I'd guess (and it's a pure guess) would be around '87.  It could be the Let It Be session or even  rehearsals for the EC tour of '87 or early '88.

I think that's the red Schecter on the left of Mark there isn't it.

Date sounds right.

From Mark's Right to Left: Red Pensa Suhr prototype (Two Young Lovers), THE red Schecter (Sultans, Once Upon a Time), a couple of Gibson's behind him, tobacco burst Schecter (Tunnel of Love), Gibson thing, Steinberger (without headstock; Money For Nothing, Private investigations), red Schecter Tele (Walk of Life), sunburst Tele.

Lol

I must confess I actually do practice from time to time when "otherwise engaged". Multi-tasking.

Steinberger (without headstock; Money For Nothing, Private investigations), red Schecter Tele (Walk of Life), sunburst Tele.

the Steinberger was also used on One world, and Solid Rock (in Sydney, not at Wembley where he used the black tele), and on Private investigations I guess it's J. sonni's one, not Mark's one, because one one wolrd they had both a Steinberger.

Where do you see the sunburst tele ? can't see it
It rather must be the black schecter tele during this era (the sunburst one did his comeback for SMU in 91)

"Let's give these guys at AMIT something to do, since there are no other topics at the moment"
By the way great picture, I like his expression. My guess too that it comes from Ferry aid, video shooting. The black background behind his head gives a false impression of longer hair and a more youthful face.

Naaaah, if you have a more precise look you will see that Mark's face shows clearly that it was HIM who ate all the sausages...

If it is true what Joop de Korte said in the interview (you read it, right?), that Mark looked bored even during the rehearsals for the OES tour, I can fully understand that a few post-concert sausages mean a big deal.

HAHAHA! This is just too funny. It would be amazing if a good comedy show had picked up on the story and created a series of skits where a cranky rock star constantly has something stolen from him.
