Rumor - Bob Dylan to tour Europe with Mark Knopfler, announcement soon!!!
According to John Baldwin's Desolation Row Information Service, Bob Dylan's fall tour itinerary of Europe is almost final, and he may be touring with his former collaborator Mark Knopfler (of Dire Straits fame):
We
-
No dates are known for this late-2011 tour but Dylan normally seeks to get back to the United States in time for Thanksgiving, which would suggest that it will end by around the middle of November or soon thereafter. The tour is likely to start in early October. There have been rumours of shows in the United Kingdom, Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria and Italy which, if true and just part of the itinerary, would suggest in turn a fairly long tour of, say, four to six weeks.

And will you try to get tix?? :o I am thinking about not having any holidays anymore... :disbelief

I see that as a bonus tour! I am very sure such a little tour is nothing that bothers MK much! When his new own solo album will be released next year, MK will do another tour on his own! So I stay calm... try to...

Usually his big news turn out to be bullshit.

Just want to draw your attention to a little word that seems to have been lost in the current hubbub - "rumor" :)
If however the rumor turns out to be true, it would be very cool to see Mark and Bob side by side on stage. In my opinion, Mark is so much better when he doesn't have to carry the show alone. Not to mention his guitar playing. To hear them do some of the tracks from Slow Train Coming would be amazing.

can't see anything there,maybe its been censored.Which would mean possibly there is some truth to it.
Tickets usually go on sale on a friday so maybe it will be confirmed tomorrow or not.

Soooo excited about this. I was in a pub last night when I got
A text from Mark (aka Millionaire Blues)
from the forum with this news/rumour.
I nearly spilt my pint, then I rung him back
and we both spoke excitedly about it.
I also thought about Pottel immediately!!! Lol
Please let this be true. :)

Yes, the forum is very quiet about all this kind of stuff.
But I mean the MKNEWS site, not the forum :)
-
I have never liked the music of Bob Dylan, but if he tours with MK it is cool.
I really hope they come to Norway!
To see MK live on stage this autumn would have been fantastic!
Waiting for Guy to confirm this rumour :)

Can we play 'Guess the setlist'!!!!!!!!
My mind is working overtime!!!! ;D

Set list.....
Slow train coming & Infidels in their entirety!!!
Encore... Sultans (Mark on guitar, Bob on vocals)
Last song..... 20 min extended version of 'All along the watchtower'
Cheers BBB
-
BBB, this tour (in case its confirmed ;D) will be "double header", it means MK will play his set and Bob Dylan his own, and at the end they will play some songs together. Thats the way Dylan toured with Paul Simons in 1999.
Lets see what kind of tour does Dylan this summer with Leon Russell, maybe that could be a good clue about setlist ;D
-
About tickets...
It looks like Bob Dylan fans will get good tickets on their own way (if this tour is confirmed).... I guess if MK fans will have the same priviledge from the mk.com site again, now we have (if this tour is confirmed) to fight for tickets with Dylan fans ;D
-
I'm really excited about this wonderful news! I just hope I can get tickets and afford them! They're sure to be much in demand and also more expensive than we're used to with MK, but if I can get them, I'll be there! :D

Just checked the Royal Albert Hall schedule, just in case
In october, days availables: 10, 12, 24, 27
In november: 10, 11, 15, 23, 24, 27, 28, 29
Wembley Arena
In october, free until 24th (included)
In november, from the 2nd till the 10th, and then 12, 13, 14, from 16th to 24th, and 30th
o2 Arena
Looks like it has plenty of dates, except 27, 28 october.
Does it looks like I want to go to London to see them?
;D
-
If it's true, I hope he does venues elsewhere in UK, otherwise travelling to London and staying in a hotel would make it too expensive. I will be in London for a wedding in September - do you think they'd bring the tour forward for me, then I can combine the two? ;D
-
I thought about it (for a minute) and decided that I will go to London the next time MK is playing there for his new solo album - and I am sure Mark & Bob will come to Germany and play in Hamburg for sure! Or Hannover or Cologne or... So not too much travelling for me this autumn which is great because as I said earlier not much holiday for me anymore, it has to be done in one or two days...
LE
-
Maybe The Netherlands too :P

In my case its just wondering while the official tour dates are announced ;D
I dont know yet if they will come to Spain, if not I

Got tickets for Steve Earle on 27th Oct, better not clash.

To be honest, I'm also not too happy about that. So, if it is then, let's hope Bob's managers invite GF and the other 96ers as well.

At least 'The Quo' managed 3 notes!!! ;D
Your right - seems like us those Dylan fans arent too keen on seeing "their man" share the stage....and if im honest - i would like a 100% MK show.....dont fancy huge venues and mahoosive ticket prices....its surprising reading their forum - those guys seem to attend more shows per tour than most of us....perhaps Dylan fans just have deeper pockets! ;)
-
Sounds a bit like a football match - their side v ours! ;D
Back to the music - I do like Dylan's stuff, a lot of it anyway, though I'm not a big fan, but to call MK a one note wonder is hilarious, when Dylan can only sing one note - off key!

No problem. Listen to MK's set,Trip to the bar for Dylan's set and then back in for the finale if/when they play together.Sorted!!
Dylan's singing always reminds me of Roger Rabbit in the film " Who Framed Roger Rabbit" Watch the film and have a listen,the likeness is uncanny. ;D ;D

Do you think MK will play songs from its new/future album?
And what about the MK tour in 2012 after the album release?

Fantastic idea.

Oh boy this is exciting! Huge fan of MK as well as Dylan, though Dylan's singing voice is - these days - 'somewhat' strained.
They basically have to confirm or disconfirm this pretty fast now so I'll relax until then and not get carried away.

I've already got carried away!!!!!!

Bring my video camera, record Dylan's set, turn camera off during MK's set, record again if they play together (record only half songs, Dylan's share).

too funny....
anyways, what is all the hassle about, we get an EXTRA tour. stop moaning people....
and it is not as if dylan doesn't tour enough, the man is a walking, sleeping, breathing tour.
about his performance, just yesterday was i listening to his performance of "Things have Changed" (great song) at the Sursee festival (sursee ring a bell??) and it was BRILLIANT..
-
I'm jealous. I wish I could be there, but a trip to Europe is not in my budget. Hopefully someone will record it ;)
I'm sure Guy knows the 'cat is out of the bag', so to speak. Otherwise he would have posted the Dylan posts and said "NOPE".
I'm not a huge Dylan fan but he does have some great songs. I think the two of them sharing the bill is fantastic. Good for MK for being so energetic and productive, as usual. :-* :-*
-
Of course, we do not know whether MK will simply back Dylan, like for Clapton. I kind of like the idea of seeing MK in another band, it would be a nice change.
-
Would be good if MK and his band backed Dylan, but I don't think MK could handle a different set and different arrangements every night.
-
I am sure now because Guy didn't answer my querie. I am really excited, and like Joanzimm, I also agree that it is great to see him so productive. I am also sure that this only will be a "baby tour" for him and that he will tour next year again with his own new release. That's what makes it so great to be a MK fan these days!
I am almost sure that he will play one or two of his new songs in his set when touring with BD... Maybe the whole new album is a hommage to Dylan (lots of Martin guitars) and maybe they will film or record some stuff and put it into the later bonus stuff of the new album...
Only bad thing about it is that next year we will have the end of the world, so it's only a few months to enjoy the new stuff and the next Simfy Live recordings.. ;D
LE
-
I really hope he'll play "Blind Willie McTell", also "Things have Changed" would be great to hear played live! :)
-
The thing about Dylan is when I recognize the song it is almost over... :lol
I have seen him twice in the 90's, both times great shows, great band, but indeed the audience on a Dylan show is sometimes ... "special". Lots of people proclaiming things outside the venue, lifting posters with strange messages... And the average age is even higher as with Mark's shows...
But it will be an interesting experience I am sure, the crystal clear, pristine sound of MK's band compared with Dylan's "soundbrei"...
LE
-
I guess I have to put my house on sale! ;D
I am a huge fan of Dylan and I listen to his records very often but man he really got old and his voice is completely gone , but it would be very interesting and fun to see how Mark is going to act around him, out of his comfort zone! Plenty of guitar I hope.
Anyway I really hoped the "Big News" was the Montreux DVD or something like that! We all know that the tour can't be enjoyed by all the people in this world! Let's see know...
-
hey GennT, try any of his latest shows, i think he does a great performance these days, Dylan in the 80 ies was a far worse voice..

Just a funny moment right now: I can

Singing old Dylan songs and writing AMIT entries :disbelief .... WHAT are you exactly working?? :lol :lol

-
I admit it would be a great feeling to attend a Dylan gig for the first time and also when you have Mark Knopfler performing too I am sure it would be an incredible experience but if you want to hear Blind Willie Mctell for example you need to get used to the fact that it will be quite different to the original song if not completely different (as for the words you won't understand them that much anyway) :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au-I_W33V5c

I agree GennT, his voice is terrible! :o Maybe if Blind Willie is played on the tour, MK will make it sound more like the original version - I hope! One thing is sure, MK's voice will sound wonderful alongside Dylan's! :)

I read the whole thread now and I must say that I like it much more to be around HERE... Strange kind of humour, but very much traffic on a day like this... it seems there are some Germans, too... But it is right that Mark isn't very popular over there obviously...
I think it's funny that some of them are talking about Mark as a "support act"... If the first posts are right it really seems like Bob's management asked Mark and he then postponed the new album's mixing... and not vice versa.. Maybe the last European tours of Bob weren't that successful anymore and he needs a new attraction to sell some tickets...
LE
-
Fantastic news, if the rumor is true! I'm a fan of both, but of course there's only one MK. ;) I regard His Bobness as one of the greatest poets ever, and he makes good tunes too, so this is going to be great.
I don't see why MK couldn't handle a different set every night, because it seemed like no problem for him to do that during the promo tours (shorter set, I know, but...). I don't think he is that limited as (too) many of you seem to think. I just think he likes to do things his way, and since he is the boss, he does. But I think he would be perfectly capable of stepping out of what many of you call his comfort zone. The same applies for his guitar playing. I am absolutely certain that he could play fast if he wanted to, but he just doesn't want to.
And I hope they come to Norway, of course. Both are very popular here, and they play here often, so there is a great chance they come. If they will tour at all... :)
-
Very weird and arrogant atmosphere over there ...
I guess they don't know who they are talking about.
-
It's a good thing MK quit smoking or he'd probably sound the same way :o
That was a very good move : no more cigarette to hold, he has two extra fingers to play the guitar.
He really improved his technique ! ;D

Forum Update by Guy:
Missing the posts of LE and Pottel, but he's ignoring ALL the Dylan posts!
So....
It must be true then right? :P :D
-
Hey, this thread has 88 posts now, it MUST be true!
lol
LE
-
Presuming he goes on tour with Uncle Bob as a double header act, I wonder how the setlist would be. A mini version of the setlists of the recent tours wouldn't really make sense and it's kind of too early to promote new material. Perhaps it would "just" be as Dylan's star guitarist with a couple of Mark's own tunes thrown in?
-
Many Dylan fans seem to be so disappointed. I assume it must be true.
-
Very weird and arrogant atmosphere over there ...
I guess they don't know who they are talking about.
Some of them do. One poster pointed out that MK is the bigger draw, both in record sales and live.
There's no question that musically and culturally Bob Dylan is massively more influential than MK. But he's never sold that many records. I remember being amazed when it was pointed out that his son Jakob's debut album with The Wallflowers (a brilliant album by the way) sold more copies than anything his dad had ever done.
Whatever happens, I'm happy. MK is number one for me but Dylan is definitely top 5.
-
Backstage conversations... (add voice accents)
Bob - "Hey we should do that one of yours, Tunnel Of Love, but in a reggae feel?"
Mark - "oh sure...."
Mark - "Y'know my mix Jokerman was pretty good."
Bob - "oh man... you should look forward Mark, my head is only full of new songs maaaan....."
-
Google Bob Dylan and Mark Knopfler.Seems this isn't without precedence.As a casual to slightly more than casual fan until yesterday I was unaware there was any history between them at all.Suppose they will play RAH ,tickets will be extortionate and all the decent tickets will go to uber fans on both sides,celebs and hangers on.Just to add there is a superb version of knocking of heavens door albeit done in the wake of Dunblane,on you tube with MK and BD.
-
This would no doubt be an interesting tour and raises expectations for some new arrangements of older songs at the least. One thing more that apparently hasn't been considered is the possibility of a BD/MK record. THAT could be very good, and Dr. Fletch has left a few clues that something more is afoot, e.g. "These sesssions are over...."
Anyway, bring on the music!
Keep Knopflerin' ;)

Google Bob Dylan and Mark Knopfler.
I'm not mocking you or anything, it's always fun to discover new facts about artists and celebs, but you should know that 95 percent of the most active members on this forum have installed a chip in the back of their neck which contains all, and I mean all, there is to know about Mark Knopfler. And it's continually being updated. We are talking about the Ph.Ds, black belters, Master Masons, etc. of the world of Mark Knopfler here ;D So Googling will be kind of redundant LOL
PS "Black belters", wouldn't that be a cool name for a group of black soul singers?

It doesn't matter anyway : it will have the same meaning... ;D
-
OK, time for a presidential comment ;D
The President is not a huge fan of Bob's although I do respect him as a great poet. I saw him live once and was really dissapointed. Couldn't recognize any songs and his interaction with the audience was unexistant. He had practically his back turned to us. Plus we had really bad seats (a mile away from the stage) which I think didn't help. So this would be a opportunity to give him a second chance. So, I would probably go and see them (if they came to Copenhagen, I would not travel too far).
That said, I'll only believe it when an official annoucement is made.....

Encyclopedia Pottel ;D
-
Many Dylan fans seem to be so disappointed. I assume it must be true.
I will be disappointed too. I would be great to see any duet, but not with BD.
-
I feel a bit disappointed too, but I do like a lot of Dylan's work and have listened to him and bought his albums since 1961, but never seen him in concert.
This concert would be a great opportunity to see him, especially with MK, as I don't think there will be too many more opportunities in the future to see them together.
I have heard lots of reports on various forums about his arrogance and rudeness, not to mention his terrible voice, but I would still like to see for myself, before it's too late! :)
-
That said, I don't believe it is true....
I have a hard time believing it too, for the following reasons:
1) Mark is no rock n roller anymore (never was really). Don't know about Dylan and his gang, but on the whole, I have a feeling their intake of intoxicating substances is a tad higher than what Mark and his band are accustomed to.
2) Mark goes first class in everything he does: travel, food, equipment, accommodation, personnel, etc. Don't know how Dylan operates, but I think the way Mark's tours are organized is hard to beat, and there's no way he'd settle for less. Lugging across the UK and Europe in a touring bus (if that's the case) is not an option anymore.
3) Mark has been and always will be the benign dictator of his kingdom. Even with Emmylou onboard, I don't think anyone doubted who was in charge. Think he wants to be subject to His Bobness or even co-rule with him? Have another think.
4) Mark and Bob are no obvious partners. They did those projects yonks ago, but since then, has there been any contact? (Pottel?) With Emmylou there was at least a long-term recording process prior to the tour.
5) Even a double-headliner thing seems a strange option. What kind of material would Mark present now? New? Too early. Older? Just did it last year.
There are probably more arguments, but I really think it is unlikely this is the big news. I'll be happy to be proved wrong though!
Then again: Maybe he thinks "why the heck not? Why not break the routine, get out those leather pants, grow myself a ponytail (the delay!), and go rockin'!"
-
Never seen the appeal of Bob musically. I understand his status in popular culture but that's it for me. I would much prefer JJ Cale as a duet. Still if the tickets are reasonable I will probably go in the hope MK might do something a bit different (i.e. give the celtic stuff a rest) or even some new stuff.
-
Jackal, I find it hard to disagree with any of your well made points. They are all compelling.
I think this rumour has gained ground because of it's somewhat romantic appeal in sending both artists to a former glory they have both moved on from. I hope the rumor becomes fact, because I think Mark needs a dose of Bob like Paul needed a dose of John, and vice versa.
Not sure about 'never been a rock and roller' though - you just got to watch him singing alongside Scotty Moore and playing an impeccable solo whilst Albert Lee is beside him, to know he's got the Roll! :)

Bob tours in a bus, and stays in normal (still expensive) hotels. but who says they need to hang out all the time?

mark has a humonguous respect for Bob, but it works both ways in this particular case, so i guesss it will be a co-dictatorship :-)

don't think there was much contact since feb 1986, but here i know not much more..

I have to say, a recording collaboration strikes me as more likely and also more appealing than a tour in some respects. But that would not explain the long break, or fit with the other info. But then the whole idea still seems pretty odd ;D

The big news is Bob Dylan!
I saw him playing about a couple of years ago, very grumpy guy!
BTW, Guy will be playing in Eddie Jordan's band at Silverstone.

MK can seem grumpy at times too though - especially if you eat his sausages :o :o

Interesting comment I've just seen on the Dylan forum. Note the last two sentences!
I'd say you Europeans have the best of both worlds. I prefer Bob alone as well but I couldn't think of a better co-headliner. Mark Knopfler is amazing and brilliant. The last few times I've seen him, his band could easy blow Bob's band out of the water. And I love Bob's band. So don't be hating on Mark. The only downside will be ticket prices since Mark's an overpriced greedy bastard. Of course I mean that in the nicest possible way.
-
Is it just me? if this is true, i'm really not that excited by it, I seem to be one of the view people who is just not into Bob Dylan, and as Guy keeps on pointing out, Mark is always looking forward, why would he go back to working with Dylan after all these years, unless there is new music to play!!

Funnily enough, I have just been reading this forum and this particular post. I can't believe anyone could say such a thing. In the first place, I feel it is defamatory to call someone a b******d on a public forum and secondly, to call MK overpriced and greedy is ridiculous! I have always felt we had extremely good value with ticket prices and they have been more or less the same for a few tours. Of course, said in the nicest possible way! >:(
-
I'm not excited too.
The last time I saw Dylan we paid about 100 Euro each. No photos were allowed at all. His voice was terrible, couldn't understand a word. And he did not look at the audience at all. Always only at his feet when playing the guitar or looking at the piano. I'm not sure whether he noticed the audience at all. What I can remember too, an older lady wanted to give him a red rose during the encores but the security broke it and threw it down. :disbelief
You won't believe it, but my husband fell asleep during the show ::)

I think that everything Mark touches turns to gold, but I am also a bit scared about this Dylan thing.

Hi marky49! Haven't seen you here for ages!
I keep hearing these things about Dylan from other forums (not his own) and I must admit I have mixed feelings about the concerts. It is a bit of a dilemma. On the one hand I would like to see him perform, especially as MK will be playing too, but I don't think I will enjoy it if he sounds as bad these days as I have heard recently and I don't like rude behaviour, especially as we pay to see him, but I just feel it is something that I shouldn't miss and would regret not going. I can imagine my husband falling asleep too!
-
Couldn't agree more superval. MK's ticket prices are more than reasonable and to describe him as an overpriced greedy whatsit is totally unacceptable.
I've just been looking for some relatively recent footage of Dylan's shows and found a live performance of Thunder On the Mountain, which was on his 2006 album Modern Times. Now, I'm going to be totally honest here. I have Dylan's two newest studio albums (excluding the Christmas one he did last year or the year before), Modern Times and Together Through Life. If you can get past his voice, they are actually fairly good albums and there are clearly great songs on both. On his studio recordings, he just about gets away with it, but live I'm afraid there's no getting away from the fact that his voice is largely unlistenable! As evidenced by the video below, it's almost laughable ;D. I can't imagine MK, who's voice is clearly improving with age, doing many vocal harmonies with Dylan on this tour if it goes ahead.

Hi Superval!
I was 'on tour' with Yusuf aka Cat Stevens and EC. Cat was amazing live, great voice and so friendly to his fans. He was laughing and enjoying himself on stage. No problems with taking pix and he used video screens on the left, right and behind him. Special website Yusuf in concert was on, Merch was great, also a DVD will come out soon. Everything a fan desires...on my facebook you can see best of my pictures. EC was superb! Nothing more to say...
I won't do a tour with Dylan/Knopfler just a few nearby shows...my husband refused to join me already.
-
Rolleyway Man - I also have "Modern Times" and I really like it, except for a couple of things eg Dylan being credited for all of the songs, when "Beyond the Horizon" has obviously been pilfered from "Red Sails in the Sunset" and he certainly didn't write "Rollin' and Tumblin" - just the lyrics seem to be his! :)
-
I wouldn't call him rude. I saw him only two times and both times his behaviour was the same: You could call it shy. One has to know that he doesn't speak to the audience, period. He never did. When he says something at the end of the show, it is sensational and will end up on YouTube. He never smiles and hardly interacts with his band. On my first show the first thing he did was spitting right in front of the audience, it was Open Air and there was some green between him and the audience, and I thought, wow, what a good thing to start a show with. He never took off his sunglaces and ... did a pretty good rocking show! The set was great, the band was tight and the audience was really screaming.
Then, a few years later in Bremen inside the Stadthalle, the show was also good, loud, but good. His band is great. After 15 minutes of taking scary looks at the Boss his guitar player suddenly adressed a relieved smile to the drummer, you could see what he was thinking, Hey, he is in a good mood tonight...
So do not expect a warm, friendly man on stage that shares some good feelings with you. He is just doing what he does for the last five decades.. I personally think he is addicted to it and has no idea what to do instead. Somebody should have said to him that his voice is really impertinent and could not possibly be called a singing voice.
Al that said, to see Mark together with Bob Dylan, his great idol, on stage, is worth the effort. This will be historical in the sense of remarkable things in MK' career, in whatever way you see it, and I want to witness it. Honestly said, I cannot see how Mark with his high standards will be able to put a show up together with Bob Dylan, with this sound, this racket sometimes, and this voice. The only way I can imagine would be both seated with acoustics. But then again, Dylan doesn't play the guitar anymore.

LOL gjamesfloyd I am not so excited either and there will be more people! ;)
Besides some good songs in the past like Blowin'In The Wind; The Times They Are A Changin', Knocking On Heaven's Door, Like A Rolling Stone, License To Kill and (with Mark) and especial the beautiful song Protect My Child, which I have at my mobile phone, I am not interested in Bob Dylan. I even don't like his voice, but admit that he has many fans for years who adore him as much as we adore Mark! I also listened to some songs of Bob's last concerts and I think ..........his voice is worse! ;)
I made my plans for this year. Have just been 2 weeks on vacation to Greece and at the end of August Jans and I will be one week in England to meet Superval and her husband. So IF there will be a concert at the end of this year, I am almost sure I won't be able to attend. I especial won't go when the tickets prices will be too much!
Of course I would love to see and listen to Mark

exactly LE.
although he used to speak a lot until the 80ies. then he said in an interview about, you can never please them all can you? i'm always misinterpreted, so i might as well leave it....
and indeed it has never been a secret that the grumpy bastard never, or hardly ever, talks to the audience.
But hey, did you all miss this post on the BD forum?
"There will be no announcement about the European Tour today unless something leaks out from local organisers. The London Agents who oversee the European tour expect to have everything finalised on Monday/Tuesday although there can't be any promises. There certainly won't be any tickets on sale for at least a week, so you can relax ... a little."

Anyone could acces to any leaks?

You can all say what you like about Dylan's "singing" and I understand but at least it's distinctive unlike most who are topping the charts these days where it could be anyone singing. I guess you either like the fact it's distinctive or you dislike it, but he's certainly got more of a gift than most of these young pop stars these days. Boy do I sound like my Dad! ;D

Yes, at least his voice is instantly recognizable, but I don't think he would win X Factor! ;D

Yeah, Dylan is legend and great song writer but nowadays his voice sounds like a broken engine in a winter morning.

This is a wonderful performance of Gonna Change My Way of Thinking, which MK played on back in the day:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hegQGas978&feature=related
Dylan is smiling and almost dancing behind his organ! :)
-
I listen to the few songs from Melbourne back in 86 every now and then, if that's what will happen if these guys team up toegther I'm all for it :) Only thing I worry about is how Bob can contribute to MK's songs (the opposite is obvious if you listen to the 86 recordings of MK and BD). I bet the ticket prices will go up a bit, but they don't need 2x of everything, so we won't talk about double expenses... but it's a unique opportunity, so why not pay a little extra?
Their voices have never been the major reason for record sales - or ticket sales for live sbows. Listened to the Dylan clip from 2k9, and it's not THAT bad. Compare with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TaET3qlmQM and convince me they're miles apart (although Bob's voice IS worse :lol ).
I also find it funny that BD fans can fall asleep during MK's concerts and vice versa ;D In both cases I bet you can fall asleep if you're not into the music being played, it's been a while since I saw MK do a stage dive... and Bob doesn't even talk to the audience.
-
Tallgren I agree with you about the video, although I would say it is nice! ;)
A long time ago I found videos of Mark and Bob singing Don't Fall Apart On Me Tonight and especial the one I like best, the song License To Kill.
I wanted to share License To Kill, but it seems it is gone from Youtube! I have been searching every where, but can't find it. :o
Although the video I now posted has a bad quality, I like to share this one with all of you! ;D It would be great IF they really play together soon, that they could play and sing this and the other song again! :P

About the Royal Albert Hall, when the Emmylou tour I e-mailed them and they answered me that "Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris are not playing here"
Now I did the same and their answer was very different:
Thank you for your enquiry. We have not had this confirmed. Please keep checking his official website for more up to date information. You can also join our mailing for news of our up coming shows.
What do you read between the line? I read that they were contacted, the book is prebooked and waiting for the final OK.

Do you think MK will play songs from its new/future album?
And what about the MK tour in 2012 after the album release?
Oh you know he will; possibly 2 or 3 :)
and of course he will tour in 2012; 2012 is going to be a big year for all of our favourite artists.
Mark will tour heavy for the new album in 2012.
-
I am sure now because Guy didn't answer my querie. I am really excited, and like Joanzimm, I also agree that it is great to see him so productive. I am also sure that this only will be a "baby tour" for him and that he will tour next year again with his own new release. That's what makes it so great to be a MK fan these days!
I am almost sure that he will play one or two of his new songs in his set when touring with BD... Maybe the whole new album is a hommage to Dylan (lots of Martin guitars) and maybe they will film or record some stuff and put it into the later bonus stuff of the new album...
Only bad thing about it is that next year we will have the end of the world, so it's only a few months to enjoy the new stuff and the next Simfy Live recordings.. ;D

I never understood falling asleep/being bored during someone's opening set. All you have to do is sit through it or go get a drink if you're so inclined.
But don't bash them; I remember the Mellencamp Tours with Bob (yes, once again John turns up; he's everywhere :lol ) everyone had something to say about the poor guy. Just wait for awhile and enjoy the set as it is a famous singer in any case.
and if your man plays first you can find the exit doors after their set.
I see this as possibly a rotating night tour: each artist opening/closing alternative nights ala the 1999 Bob Dylan/Paul Simon tour.
Also, Mark just touring with Bob as a member of his band is rubbish. He would never do this; no matter how much respect he has for someone.
Also, it is highly unlikely they will share the stage on songs. Bob & Elvis Costello 2007 was just a whim. Both love each other immensley and they were having fun on this tour.
and as I stated above; Mark will debut some songs from the new album; just to test the waters on them.
Yet, if they do share the stage; here's hoping for Infidels songs and some old Folk Ballads which Bob is keen to and (he) enjoys Mark singing :)

imagine them two performing Blind willie, finally as it was meant to be :-)
-
Pottel - "Blind Willie" would make it all worthwhile, played as it originally was intended!
Meanwhile I just hope we will have the usual arrangements about tickets with MK.com. I was reading from ISIS that they think MK fans are not happy with the present system. I hope it isn't changed, because I think it works very well indeed! :)
-
...There is one report, uncorroborated and unconfirmed, that the tour will open in Dublin and there is even a rumour that Dylan may precede the tour with a small club warm-up date. Whether Knopfler has any similar plans is unclear but nothing has been confirmed.
-
Hi shooting-star-night! Welcome to AMIT - I've been reading your forum and I know there will be a lot of discussion on both of our forums re the coming tour. Lots of things to look forward to! :)
Thank you Superval99 :)
Yes, this is wonderful :) We get Mark (doesn't really matter the co-headliner) for another tour while we wait for the big one in 2012 :)
a lot of excitement in the air :)
-
The name Dylan is now mentioned on Guy's forum. Is that the first time? He even answers Bob who? on one question... Makes you think :)
-
That "Don't fall apart on me tonight" clip is really great.
LOL Jackal, wait till you see the clip of the song License To Kill! :P I am sure some of our fans must have a copy somewhere and can post it at youtube again! ;) I had a link of that video, but it doesn't work anymore because of rights!
Welcome to AMIT shooting_Star_Night! Reading the message of Superval, I assume you have a forum about Bob Dylan? ::)
Fieneke
-
well the BD fans are upset because they are only getting half a show of Bob and the MK fans are happy because this is really a bonus tour though what either can acheive in an hour is beyond me,hopefully a min of one and a half hours of each.Hope its not themed in some way but that both can play whatever they want anytime.Call me cynical bet its annouced and then cancelled a week or two later.
-
Hi Fieneke, The Dylan forum is called "Expecting Rain". :)
-
I really don't know how this would work out.
Someone on the Dylan forum said that if the Bob&Mark tour happens, it will probably be a hit parade, which will probably be the most commercially reasonable solution if the general audience / casual fans are the target. But would the artists be happy and interested in this?
The Dylan purists and Knopfler nutters clearly want their artist to themselves, so, is a double-header tour with two distinct parts of the show an option? The general audience want Blowin in the wind and Money for nothing, which drives the puristst in either camp crazy, and possibly also the artists. The purists want the obscure "special interest" stuff, which will alienate the masses and possibly further increase the division between them.
If only Bob&Mark had had a joint project prior to the tour and there would have been some "hype" a la "two masters together for the first time in 25 years", then it would make sense. Otherwise, I'm still very skeptical.
-
MK has said and I believe him, that he wouldn't play a song for the sake of it or to please the masses. I doubt that will change for this tour. I think he will play what pleases him.
-
I just don't see what Mark or Bob would get out of this, so I hope it doesn't happen.
-
We all know what Mark's set will be! Hehe
Donegans Gone
Done With Bonaparte
Song For Sonny Liston
Romeo & Juliet
Sailing To Philadelphia
Rudiger
Brothers In Arms
Going Home
Then maybe Mark & Bob will perform
one track together. Maybe 'Knocking On Heavens Door'
Anyone else agree!! ;) ;D :lol
Cheers. BBB
-
We all know what Mark's set will be! Hehe
Sweet Mary and Joseph ... Does it get more boring? Cross out the songs in between and you get:
Donegans Gone

Exactly, that's my point!!
That would be the nightmare scenario setlist!
Of course my choice of setlist would be far removed
from that of the one I posted.
Give me a while, & I'll post my dream set.
Cheers BBB

single handed sailor prolly??

Why of course Pottel. ;D
You know me sooo well.
Maybe opening with an aLCHEMY style OUATITW?

I hope you're wrong BBB! :o This set list is the kind MK keeps for his small charity gigs, like the one just gone, but for large venues, which is what I expect, something much more expansive is required to knock those doubting, sceptics on the Dylan forum off their feet!
Some of the stuff from the 2010 tour would be nice. I'd love to hear Marbletown and Speedway and Coyote done magnificently again, with the whole band and perhaps something from the GL album that hasn't been played live yet. I don't think any of the old DS stuff will impress Dylan fans at all and I'm pretty sure that MK won't even venture into that territory!
It would be lovely to hear a preview of some songs from the new album too! :)
-
still, i for one have no need to hear marbletown again, or coyote, the one exception from last tour would be Get lucky, as it is still "fresh" and HillFarmers coz it is a brilliant powerhouse.
besides that, pls play solo stuff that was not played before, with the one of dire straits rare tune, like Portobello.
solo:
Are we in trouble now, silvertown blues, sands of nevada, don't you get it, no can do, camerado, long highway, Iron Hand etc...
-
Like I said, I hope I prove myself wrong!!
I hope Mark ROCKS his arse of (standing hopefully)
and proves to all the Dylan doubters, that he's not boring.
Cheers. BBB

The Dylan forum say "No news till tomorrow afternoon" !

Well, I know a lot of us on this forum might enjoy hearing those songs being played, but on this occasion we are out to impress in a BIG way and I fear that some of those songs may just do what the Dylan fans predict ie send them to sleep! :o HFB would be great, though! :)

Yeah, especially Long Highway - BO-RING. ::)
Another thing to bear in mind is that neither MK or BD will want to be upstaged so the set may be pretty strong IMO.

i always loved the live version of that song, back from it's first rendition in 91.

@dmg - hit parade, here we go.

@dmg - hit parade, here we go.
We must bear in mind that most of the Dylan fans may have never heard Speedway, Marbletown, HFB, etc and these are the songs much more likely to impress the Dylan fans, rather than the more purist material and the usual MFN, SFA. That's how I see it anyway! :)
-
man, all that elitism over there, but also here, i must say, why not just open up, go to a show, and then comment? instead of all those pointless comments? we will not know what they play till day one, and how they will arrange it.
i just posted another rant on expecting rain as well.
am fed up with these "my artist is the more relevant one, more intelectual, blabla bullshit."
either way.

It's called speculation, pottel and it's quite fun! ;D BTW I love "The Long Highway" but it's far too slow and drawn out for this particular scene! :)

I suppose it very much depends on the band as to which songs would be played e.g. Marbletown without McCusker?

Sadly Pottel your efforts have been attacked by a particularly nasty and ignorant forum member (and I use the word member deliberately). Which is a shame. Think I'll stick over here, the people seem a lot nicer.

You are quite right, Banjo99uk, this is a far nicer place to be. :)

When MK toured with Clapton in the late '80s, it was very much a Clapton show, even though there were a lot of Mark fans in the audience.
MK pretty much stayed in the background, though he and Clapton jammed a bit or answered each other musically during songs.
Mark did a couple of his songs, but it was mostly Clapton.
I would guess this tour will be mostly about Bob, with Mark as a guitar player.
Just my thought.

I just read what this "Knickerless" kind of guy from out of his hole wrote and I must say I am really speechless...
From this point on I cannot take this "Expecting Rain" stuff serious anymore and will refrain from dropping in.
I was even thinking of becoming a member but I am happy now not to be.
Hey, Grandmaster Pottel, save your energy please and keep on posting here as you greatly do and do not waste any energy with those bunch of ...
apostles... :disbelief
Just my thoughts. Sorry to dwell upon this...

Val thank you for the link of that website. I have been reading the headnews (which was nice), but didn't go to their forum. I prefer to stay reading here. As much as most of us admire Mark, the fans of Bob will admire Bob! That is why we are members here and they are members there! ;)
When Mark and Bob would play together it might perhaps be nice if they play some of the songs of Infidels like the ones I mentioned when I posted the video. I also would love listening to the songs Knocking On Heaven's Door and To Make You Feel My Love! .........I am sure Mark would play wonderful as he always does! :P

got a feeling this is the same guy who kept bashing guy because of this ridicule MFN issue...
wonder why they actually allow him such rants? i mean, that was well over it.

You know he is going to play "Romeo" on this tour. This looks like it will be a nice 'break' for him and have fun and blow off some steam before getting back to recording.
I'm looking forward to this tour. At least we get these 2 back together again.
Yes, no announcement until tomorrow sometime (unless they've snuck up on me while typing :lol ) so we wait :)
-
How about the following setlist:
Carousel waltz ->
Tunnel of love
Six blade knife ('85 version)
In my car
Me and my friends ->
Real girl
Silvertown blues
Railroad worksong
I think I love you too much
Summer of love
Les boys ->
Twisting by the pool
On every street (with PF as special guest)
;D
Hit-parade would be cool too,
Calling Elvis
Walk of life
What it is
Sailing to Philadelphia
Heavy fuel
Romeo and Juliet
Private investigations
Sultans of swing
Money for nothing
So far away

I dont know about you guys but Bob has been around the Irish circuit a good few times in recent recent years ie once every 12 months,so the following must be healthy enough over here but not massive.He usually shows up at festivals & smaller venues where as MK just does Dublin & Belfast so I would imagine it will be the latter if they do come over here & tour. If you look at it MK didnt fill the O2 last time so maybe with the extra Bob fans it will be sold out but I dont see it being a massive seller over here though as neither of the two of them carry the same weight as before plus as everyone knows this country is in meltdown so I dont see Dillion fans travelling to Dublin to see half a set ::)Maybe I'm wrong but I dont see it as being a mouth watering gig - I'LL BE THERE THOUGH :o :o

"Special Guest" implies something similar to the shows he did with Clapton in the 80's as knopfling suggested. I must admit I feel a bit disappointed if this is true. Means we won't be seeing and hearing enough of MK - mainly BD! :-\

It seems utterly ridiculous to me that these German shows are advertised and yet the news cannot yet be officially announced, even though we all know about them!
Day after day we have heard "big news is coming" and now I don't really think it is so big! In the end we may only see MK as a 20 minute special guest slot! I hope it will be explained more fully before the tickets go on sale!

Although I don't understand why suddenly Bob and Mark hook up now (we don't know what's been going on in private of course), I still think the "special guest" version makes most sense. Hopefully, they'll play some of the songs from Slow Train Coming. Mark had some classic solos and licks on that record.

Rotterdam for sure. Don't know about Oberhausen. Depands on the role of MK and ticket prices.
If its 50/50 play time, than maybe Oberhausen too. But if Mark is only guesting on Dylan's songs...
Then 1 concert is enough for me i think ;)

Yes, this page was leading me to book a hotel in Oberhausen already last night. I think it is just been too early and maybe these promoters have been informed now that the official news has still to come. I could cancel my hotel easily. And now that Hamburg is on the list I am thinking about doing two
shows - Oberhausen and Hamburg. I phoned at work a minute ago (because it's my free day today ;D) and made possible to book Oberhausen in any case - because it is a Sunday and need a free Monday, too. Hamburg is on Monday. Now of course I hope that MK's part in the whole thing will be big enough
to justify my efforts! :lol

It's not fair on us fans that we don't have confirmation before booking tickets etc. There could be a lot of wasted money or people with poor seats because they held off until it was confirmed. People in the know are not thinking of the fans now they know of all the speculation; they should come out and say something one way or the other.

Come to Cardiff - its nearer for you when travelling up from the South Coast! ;)
Im starting to wonder if the big news is this BD link based on whats written on Bobs site about the annoucement of a tour and no mention of MK...surely it would if it were true.....
Secondly - the inconsistencies of information on some of some ticketing sites.....i hope this doesnt blow up in everyones face if it turns out not to be a a joint tour...

Not very fair indeed but I guess Bob Dylan's management do their part of the job.
And I have to say I really like the way they do their job.
I'm lucky enough to be in a very comfortable situation with one show in my hometown (never happens with MK), I have a whole list of 29 shows where I can chose and prepare in advance an extra show (not like GL tour !).
MK's status is not clear ? Doesn't matter, I like BD enough to take the risk.

Only one date for you this time? I am used to see you around a little more :D
I think one concert of BD will be enough for my husband! :lol Sorry I won't be seeing you though! :)
Val,
Come to Cardiff - its nearer for you when travelling up from the South Coast! ;)
Im starting to wonder if the big news is this BD link based on whats written on Bobs site about the annoucement of a tour and no mention of MK...surely it would if it were true.....
Secondly - the inconsistencies of information on some of some ticketing sites.....i hope this doesnt blow up in everyones face if it turns out not to be a a joint tour...
LOL! Schmonka! I live in Leeds, so it has to be Manchester for me! ;D
