Hi
Does anyone know the location of the free concert you can download from MK.com from the US leg of the 2013 Privateering ?. I cannot hear clearly what the announcer says at the start of "What it is".
Ruth Moody is guest starring.
It just says "MK LIve 2013" and that it is from the US part.

AH, just tried SFA and he sings "San Fransisco" and then quickly changes it to "Oakland" so there it was - Oakland Oct 27, 2013, Oakland, CA, Fox Theater
-
A free download? What's the link (sorry, can't seem to find it)? Thanks.

I received an e-mail with a redemption code to download an US 2013 Privateering concert as a gift because I had bought tickets through their site.
I didnt download it yet but a friend of mine did, and says it´s the last show from the very short US leg in Oakland.

I first became aware of the first album in March 1978 and played it to death for what seemed like forever - and saw DS for the first time in November that year. Was a truly amazing evening.

Simon, if you say you have recordings of that shows we're gonna love u!

Wow ! yes indeed you were at the very beginning of the band, since the 1st labum was recorded between February 13 – March 5, I thought it was released only in April, but it seems a few weeks sooner ?

I really would love to hear, how did you feel when you first listened Dire Straits and how did it sound those days compared to other artists etc.

I was 17 at the time and my best friend and i were mad on guitars and were forming a band which turned out to be a duo as there didnt seem to be as many musicians about in those days as there are now. It seems every kid plays guitar these days! We were both in awe of this new sound and expert guitar playing. It was a new style and also a new genre that Mk had created. His voice was perfect too - nothing flashy, sweet or clean - just gritty and plain but in keeping with the music - it complemented it perfectly. We tried to emulate it but without the advantage of youtube or the internet there was very little video around that we could study. When we found they were performing at my local Uni in my hometown on the 4th November 1978 we were overjoyed. It is a perfect venue that holds about 600/700 standing only. We made our way to the front in fron of Mk (literally a few feet away from him) and as we knew the album inside out and the rest of the folk there were students we enjoyed every single minute. To hear the sound of the album in a live setting was one heck of an unforgettable occasion. And there were times I would stand and watch in total fascination as he played that guitar - he was a natural. A few months later they were headlinging their own national tour and the rest is history.

Thank you for this great story! I just had to start listening early live bootlegs now.
-
Yes, lovely story, Simon. I wish I had known that you were sitting behind me in Newcastle at this year's concert. It would have been so nice to meet you. There was someone singing along with R&J - I wonder was it you? :think ;D
-
Not sure Val - cant say for certain but probably not :)

The tickets were £1 in advance or £1.20 on the door :thumbsup

R&J in 78 ? :hmm you're not talking about the same gig Val ? :think
-
Many thanks Simon for this story :thumbsup
you say that few months later they started their onwn national tour, but during fall 78 they were already a "headline" band ? I mean they were touring alone, not as support act for Talking heads like they did in january 78 ? or did I miss something ?

Sorry I will explain what i tried to ssay :)
In those days bands used to ply their trade in a number of ways and they sort of worked their way up the ladder like a sort of apprenticeship. They would play pubs and clubs and if lucky would embark on a tour of universities and maybe bigger clubs. Then the luckier ones would get picked up my a well known band as support for their tour (often resulting in the support act not getting paid but getting the chance of exposure). Then once they bcame a 'name' and had an album to promote the bigger venues would be their target - the City Halls, the Odeons, the Appollos and the more well known clubs. When I said national tour I meant as a known band playing at the bigger (and often in those days, the biggest venues available).
Nowadays bands go from releasing a single to a major Stadium tour overnight! That is why they dont have avery long life expectancy - the longer it takes to get to the top the longer it is to fall back down that ladder :)

Sorry Simon, but I have to say it here:
The special gift of MK.com (Oakland gig) is a fake (at least in his flac version).
They just converted the MP3 version into Flac, so it is a loosy flac.
Not in this way, Mk.com
