So, tell us (who knows), how about Occupation Blues, River of Grog, Follow the Ribbon and Your Perfect Song? Anyone willing to share his/her opinion about the songs? Haven't heard 'em but like to know you know. ;) :lol
-
Actually, there is anybody that has "your perfect song"?
-
Did not much like the second song, forgot the title, will check again once I am finished doing other things.
-
Could you report somewhat more precisely if the EPK is included on the DVD? I mean, is it mentioned in the menu, to begin with?
And did you manage to work out where you can download the show?

Take your time. Jbaent will be watching the game right now!
-
And happy he should be with athletico leading 2-0!
There was no menu to start with.
-
But yes again, the EPK is part of the DVD.
-
Thanks!
I find it interesting that even for a computer affine person like you it seems difficult to work out where to find the download? No instructions?
Btw,
"additional photography by Guy Fletcher" - the session with the lots of guitars seemed to be taken by Guy...
Mark saves money where he can..

-
Boring booklet in the main cd by the way,verbally dissapointed there. I looked man, simply do not see the line saying"here it goes to the link you so desire"....

follow the ribbon (the 8 min song) is to my liking, but it is not in the typical row of TOL or TR, it is a beautiful song with some marky noodling, but no solo as we would like it.
but i DO like it.
-
occupation blues does not really sound like a blues though. listening to the grog song now. canot be compared to something else (of mark'S work)
-
wow, he actually whistles in it!!as of 2:40 or something...
-
That sounds promising! Can't wait for the leak. :lol
-
Occupation Blues - quite nice guitar and piano work on this, ... could be a track from Kill to get Crimson or Ragpicker, ... like this one
River of Grog - slow track, and MK whistles ;-)
Follow the Ribbon - mix with celtic sound and pedal steel, some short guitar parts, melancholic - nothing really new, but nice - without suprises
Your Perfect Song - very "small" song - easy melody.
-
huh? where do i find Your perfect song???
-
amazon.de
-
amazon.de
is that song also to download for people outside Germany ?
-
aarrrghhh,...must buy....
-
mmm, nice little ditty, and Ruth moody seems to sing backing vocals as well, but not worth buying the 10,99 mp3 download after already having bought the super box and two copies of the normal deluxe box. need a "link"...
-
Jepp.
Super Deluxe and Deluxe Box are enough.
Would buy for 0.99 EUR, but again the whole thing?
No...
-
Could someone secretly leak Your Perfect Song? :-X

Leak it! leak it! Leak it now! (Please...)

Whenever it gets leaked, a private message would be a nice surprise ! lol
I don't understand why we can't download outside of our own country.... whereas you can buy anything else !
-
I want it too! I want to buy, but not again a whole album
-

-

-
Celtic and pedal steel... strange mix but it works fine ! :)
-
(except RC serenade) i really, really like this album. and yes i know it ain'tgot the ripping guitar solo'S we're all dying to hear, but boy, it is a gooooood album..
-
I'll have to wait next week to get my super deluxe box and Sept 10th for my deluxe edition...
You lucky german and dutch people !!!
-
am belgian. just live in Germany... :-)
-
Could someone PM me the leak for Your Perfect Song?
I'll get the other B-sides this week as my Super Deluxe and Deluxe versions arrive
-
"I think I might know someone who knows more about the leak". Send me a PM with your email adress in case you didn't find the leak. ;)
I recently found the leak called ************, so thank you! :lol
(don't count the ***, it's a random number)
-

What do Belgians cry?
Chocolate-tears! :lol :lol
You can punish me at the RAH for that!
-
I actually LOVE Your Perfect Song! It's so nice and sweet!
And the other 3 songs are also good.
MK isn't that great whistler :P
It's nice though
-
Could someone send me a PM so I can get the bonus songs? Especially "your perfect song" as I will get the others with the box set probably in 3 weeks :'( but i think i will survive :lol

Hi there :)
I'am a big big Mark Knopfler's fan from France since 1992.
Sorry for my bad english. Could someone also send me a PM so I can get the bonus songs? Thanks a lot :)
I bought all Mark Knopfler's albums. I loved Privateering a lot, especially Dream of the Drowned Submariner and Radio City Serenade but not the blues songs (not my cup of tea).
-
Hey all,
Same request here, please... I would kill to be able to hear those bonus tracks ;)
Kisses,
Julie
-
Hello everyone,
Could anyone send me a PM with the bonus songs too?
Thanks.
-
First of all: Hello to all you guys here at Amit. I' ve read the forum since months and really like it a lot. I'm a Knopfler-Fan since i was 9 or 10 back in the 80s and still enjoy every single new note of him so much.
Unfortenately i still haven't reveived my (small) Deluxe Version via Amazon.de and managed to ignore the snippets and Album-leak til now and will wait for the real thing. Nevertheless i can't afford to buy the other two versions to get the 3+1 Bonus-Songs. So if anybody could help me with a PM that would be really great.
Thanks in advance!

all those last ones on this page get the amazon.de song from me per mail,...now. the other three songs should come from elsewhere, already sent out 25 emails today with this friggin song. and it is a bit more difficult to get to so i have no issue to share that. the three others are a different ballgame in my eyes. enjoy!
-
Fair enough.

Thanks!
-

Is it public knowledge where the leek is? in this instance - Google is NOT my friend.... :(
-
who needs google...bing in your mailbox...

I really love Follow the Ribbon and Perfect Song. Both should have been on the main album!

Can i ask - how did you hear them ingridswing....Chairman P kindly sent me your perfect song, but would love to hear the other tracks.... ???
-
I have not heard Follow the Ribbon yet, with it being 8 mins in length, what songs is it similar to ? is it Celtic flavoured ?
I only purchased the Standard cd - I will probably buy the box set in a few weeks.
-
Can i have a PM too? ;D (Hint!: 3 songs + 1 song)

I used chello.nl and it's alright !
Thanks again, dear Sultan Of Swing !

1+, Same here, I'll really like to hear that 3 studio songs from B-sides :'(
-
Ok. 1st listen. Loved them all (of course)
1st impressions:
Occupation Blues reminded me of Don't crash the ambulance.
River of grog reminded me of Madame Geneva.
Follow the ribbon. Definitely my favourite, & the most original new MK song
Imo.
Your perfect song has lovely flute, but weird keyboard sounds from Guy Fletcher.
Right, gonna take me another listen or 5 ;-)
Cheers BBB
-
ok, now it is too the others to spread the love. i am finished spreading. no more pm's pls, except to tell me news :-)
or to offer me:
Dublin 2011
Jo'burg 2005
Vancouver 2010
Dubai complete
the QE2 gig
the deutsche bank 2005 gig
etc...

Do you also have a problem, not knowing how to go to bed, because wanting to listen again and again ;-)

I also gave enough love away today. No more love to get from good old love expresso. :P
The live tracks arrived..... this morning with the postman... ;D good sound!
I think they are great - Jim gets some little instructions during STP... Hill Farmer has great guitar part...
LE
-
bluebird so rocks my boat...kim wilson, great addition!! nice noodling after "Fly away...Fly away babe" (as of 2:37)

Yes they are, I just got them and find them different from the GL tour...
I'm just really pissed that WII and Marbletown and not there !

;)hello,please, please.. can someone send me a PM from the b-sides?thanks very much... :)
1+, Same here, I'll really like to hear that 3 studio songs from B-sides :'(
www.upc.nl
search (zoeken) 21 oocupation blues, 22 river of grog, 23 follow the ribbon
You have to create a free account to download the songs
that's all !
Thanks to all ! I am listening to the three bonus songs, it is a nice MK's work.
My favorite songs of Privateering (in order) :
1- Dream of the Drowned Submariner
2- Radio City Serenade
3- Privateering
4-Redbud Tree
5-Haul Away
6-Follow The Ribbon
-
River of grog is like a first attempt by MK on the acoustic guitar in front of his musicians!
It's a nice little song!
Occupation blues makes me think of Les Boys .
Follow the ribbon, like your perfect song is a celtic-country song mixing pedal steel and celtic instruments.
Just like Radio city serenade, trumpet, sax, celtic... MK mixing style !
-
Nice to hear that people are enjoying these.. Myself think they are so damn boring. ;D
Just one listen, so it will probably change.
-
I listened to Follow the Ribbon, what a good song, surprised it didn't make the cut for the main album!
The other B sides, I rate just a tad above dross
Still, the album is the best recordings the man has made in many a year ; very close to STP in terms of quality, and light years from KTGC !
-
Loved them all on the first listen. There's no doubt in me that this is a bunch of songs I can listen to as a whole, whereas I skip songs on every other solo cd (except SL). I know this was a work in progress Pre Bob tour, but if this pattern continues I'm already looking forward to the next double record!!
Many thanks to the kind sharers.
-
It would make my day (or year!) if some kind soul would send me a PM. I adore the 30 second snippet of Your Perfect Song, and the description of Follow the Ribbon sounds wonderful. I know I'm being impatient, but I'd love to hear these songs!
-
Hi to everyone, I'm an old time italian fan of Mark, I've preordered the Deluxe Version but the delivery it's been delayed...
Can someone PM me how to get the extra songs (Your perfect song, River of grog, Occupation blues and Follow the ribbon).
Thanks in advance to everyone!
-

Interesting thought. There must be versions of all Marks songs this way when he first demos them to the band.
-
******
Don't forget to BUY the live songs from iTunes.
-
Hi guys, is there some kind-hearted person who could send me the link to the songs?:D
I've been reading this forum for quite some time, and now I'm dying to hear those songs!
Please!
-
I'd love to hear the 3 bonus songs cause I can't afford to buy it. :-[ Would someone be so kind to send me am PM?
Thanks in advance.
-
A very kind member already sent me Your Perfect Song, but I would love to hear the three bonus songs, if someone could send me a pm, PLEASE! :) :-*
-
Can I have a PM with the 4 bonus songs?
Thanx!
-
Hi everybody,
Don't forget your friend ! a PM is welcome with 4 cookies in it !
thank you
-
Hey,
Anyone kind enough to PM me with Your Perfect Song ?
Thanks,
Julie
-
Hello! Waiting for the Deluxe edition to come in the post tomorrow! Any chance of a PM with the B-Sides to keep me ticking over until then lol?
Thanks!
-
Hi ;)
I'd like to hear the 3 bonus songs because I can't buy it online. I just bought the 2-CD Version of Privateering.
Would someone be so kind to send me a PM?
Thanks in advance.

Can someone send me the 4 bonus tracks to me too?
I'm gonna buy the super deluxe version in a month or 2 because than I have the money for it :lol.
Thanks in advance! :)
-
did i mention that the live recordings are awesome? they are so...different..
Yes they are great, except from drumming on STP :-\
Being a drummer myself, I have to agree on that one. But on the other end, I love the way Ian Thomas plays overal. I mean when you listen to the other tracks, it's played with much more enthusiastic. At least that's what I feel ;D. Cheers
-
Can someone please send me a link for 'Your Perfect Song????????????? :lol
I've ordered the Deluxe Box Set from MK.com so i'll wait for the other 3 bonus songs.
Also, people are always saying that they have downloaded live concerts already, now with getting the box set i'll download the one off the card but i'd love another 1 or 2 to make sure i have a wide range so could anyone link me somehwere to get the concerts? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
MUCH, MUCH APPRECIATED
-
As far as I know there is only one concert for download available and that's Madrid 2010, missing Telegraph Road. You can't choose a concert yourself.

On what I heard from the rehearsals I don't feel the same. It's more messy. The way Danny is drumming adds a lot to the music but it gives a comfortable feeling. It's more tight, don't know if I use the right word.
-
It might have been Ian's first take on the old songs, we should not forget - during the tour he probably learned more about them and would maybe sound different if he played them today...
on the other hand, when Danny came into the band in 2005, we rocked the house away from the first second... ;D

Agreed, I also hear a few mistakes he makes in the other songs, so now and then. But I also mean how they play live now, or on the album. Danny Cummings is a great drummer, no doubt! But he always plays safe. And it's less challenging to do, and to listen to. I know it's more with a comfortable feeling, I can see that. But it's sometimes even boring, like in Brothers in Arms live, (please don't kill me! :lol). Love both drummers, but still prefer the style of Ian Thomas ;D. But It's ofcourse all a matter of taste :).
-
I was at, i think, the first live concert Danny played after Chad left the band - Lisbon 2005.
He did a wonderful job. I've always enjoyed his take on Sultans - very "clean".
For what I can tell Ian Thomas is a great drummer too. Seems a bit more consistent in the blues section. I may be wrong.
PS. Can someone PM me "Your perfect Song"? PLease...
-
Thanks to the kind members for the pm, I even got two of them!
Right now I'm in love with River of Grog, just MK and his guitar, and that amazing voice... - it reminds me a little of Madame Geneva.
Anyway, does anyone know if the lyrics of the bonus songs can be found somewhere?Seems like on MK.com they' re still missing
-
Hi all,
If it's not very rude from me, could anyone pm me to get the bonus songs?
I've bought the Deluxe edition and I'm eagerly awaiting for it since I haven't downloaded the album in order to preserve that special moment when you play it for the first time... I regret having listened to the snippets so many times!!
Thanks in advance, much appreciated :)

Ian already did some songs during BD/MK 2011 and yes Danny came in and kedeng full going
-
i think it is now down to other people then ingridswing, shangri la and others to share, maybe now the ones that got it from us can pass it on to the newer requestors?
i will as of now ignore those requests.

Sorry Ingrid to be pedantic, but these rehearsals took place BEFORE or BECAUSE OF the Dylan tour me thinks... therefore he maybe played in the studio during the recordings, but certainly has no touch with the standard songs before? ::)

I bought the record on vinyl so no bonus tracks for me :-(. Can someone PM me please?

Then it makes a little more sense to me LE and you're not pedantic. Always happy to hear peoples opinion. But I'm not impressed because his style is not mine. For me it sounds messy, doesn't give me a quiet listen.
-

i will as of now ignore those requests.
That would be the fairest thing I suppose ;)
-
Agree, so people who got it yesterday from one of us please share it today. WE already shared it a lot, been busy doing it last night for hours, so were more of us.
If you don't share, don't expect us to do that much work again next time.

Still waiting for my deluxe set to arrive !

Have just done a few PMs - to all the people who post 'send me a PM' - its much simpler if YOU send a pm to just one person, so multiple people aren't wasting time replying. :)
Apologies for any delays to people that PMd me, I'm often on a mobile device which makes it awkward to copy paste.
Thnx voor your PM

Anyone noticed? At the rehearsal Why Aye Man version, Mark cites himself by playing a riff (at 4:42) very similar to that one he played during "For In A Row"... (starts at 2:37)

I really love "Your perfect song" :D
So beautiful vocal by MK, the whole atmosphere of the song is fantastic!
The part from 1:37 - 1:40 gives me goosebomps!!!
You can hear that MK is enjoying himself during this song!
Would love to hear it live! 8)
-
Follow The Ribbon has a small part of Old Man River in it. Their is no way thats an accident.
-
Actually the 4 extra songs are fine, but I especially fell in love with "Occupation Blues". Very poweful melody, wonderful piano and voice...
Such a song really deserved to be on the main album and not to be only for a handful of people who can afford a Super Deluxe Box which has no other value than these 3 songs. I really hate these marketing practices !
-
Can someone PM me Your Perfect Song ? I have the rest. I'll PM the links for the rest if anyone msg's me.
Im still waiting on the boxset to come from Amazon here in Ireland :(
Are the live one take sessions any good ?

Occupation Blues has a kind of Eastern European feel to it I think.

Hi,
The song " Occupation Blues " is the best of the bonus tracks. Should have been on the album ::)
I also like " Your Perfect Song ", It's just so......perfect ;D
Those two instead of " Radio City " and " Beanstalk " on the album.

Hi,
After much listening to the four bonus tracks, I think I'm ready to share my opinion about them. The songs " Occupation Blues " and " Follow The Ribbons " should have been on the double album.
I think that OB should have been the first song on disc 2. Then " Kingdom Of Gold " as the third track instead of " Radio City Seranade ". Goodbye to that song. Don't fit with the other material.
As the closing song at disc 2, I really prefer FTR instead of " After The Beanstalk ", which I don't like.
Now it's pretty near the perfect album or what ?
Take care...
-
No way goodbye to Radio City :P
It brought tears in my eyes the first 2 listens

By accident I've found out that standard Windows 7 error sound perfectly fit River of Grog tonality.
Just try to find something long on the browser page while listening and... wow. You kinda started to feel yourself Guy Fletcher!
LOL.

ROFL, that's amazing, isn't it?
Great work by the way and thank you.
-
I listened to the bonus tracks on the above link. Occupation Blues for me is the best of the bonus songs for sure. Nice catchy, something russian sounding about it to :)Should have definitely been on main album. Has anyone got a copy they could send me please or anyway I can get a download? Still waiting for my copy of the CD here in South Africa, very far behind here :(

You said russian? It's funny, because we have old band called 'Secret' and their song 'Privet' ('Hi!' in English') intro has very similar riff in it. From first listen Occupation Blues remimded this tune to me. I'll give the link in a minute.

Riff is very different of course, but feeling is pretty close :D Just little funny sound-alike.

Hi FFoma
Sent you PM. I have travelled to Russia a few times and saw MK there on the 2008 tour and this song Occupation Blues has a definite russian sound to it. I am not a musician so I cannot say exactly why but I think you understand :)

Answered, Max, check out your PM ;)
It's amazing how much music can say. Western Europe feeling just with couple of notes. Postcards from Paraguay also have same feeling of non-British music and that is more interesting it also have minor 7 flat 5 chord, like Occupation blues. Rare chord for MK, another song with it is Rudiger.
Oh, it's foma again with his ridiculous music theory ;D

The bonus songs are wonderful.
Does anyone know what country he sings about in "Occupation Blues"?
River of Grog is so sad, and so good. Reminds me of "Madame Geneva's"

I 100% about your sentence about Follow The Ribbon and Bob Dylan, it was totally clear that thsi song has Dylan relations..
Also, for me, it was 100% clear that Occupation Blues is about France - of course. Some people stated at AMIT lately that it reminded them of Russia, because of the melody, and I was really astonished about that. I am not saying that I am not totally wrong, but it is just so clear for me! ;)
It is a Cha Cha Cha, isn't it? Would there maybe some South American influence because of that?

It's Cha Cha Cha, I confirm. About which country, I will give it a listen again tonight and will break my brains about it ;)

France, that's what I thought, too

By the way, such a PM with a link to "Your Perfect Song" would be greatly appreciated!
And where can you find the un-mixed studio 2-track versions or what it was? I have the deluxe set; should there be a link in there somewhere?

Sorry, I'm a little bit behind you guys, and don't know if this is what you all have known. Someone told me there would be another B-side song which will come out from Japanese versions of the new album? Anyone got some info about it? Or is it just a rumour?

I own the 2CD version - can't buy the album again for a couple of songs - if someone could PM or email me the link for the 3 B Sides + Your Perfect Song, I'd be extremely grateful!
Thanks

Thats the reason why we bought the 3cd version and/or the box version instead the 2cd, because we wanted to have that songs.
