Title: Mark Knopfler & Bob Dylan: MAYBE a 2012 summer tour????
Post by: jbaent on January 27, 2012, 11:23:57 AM
Well, as many of you already read here:

http://music.msn.com/2012-new-music-guide-major-tours/photo-gallery/feature/?photoidx=5 (http://music.msn.com/2012-new-music-guide-major-tours/photo-gallery/feature/?photoidx=5)

It looks like they are gonna tour the US this summer. I asked Guy at his forum.

 I decided to open this new thread. Moderators feel free to move it where you think its correct.

Yes, he sent me an e-mail about it, very polite, and I understand why he did. I modified my posts in asnwer to his polite mail.

From now its a just a rumour. I also read about Tom Petty touring with Bob this summer, so maybe I was too fast opening this thread.

I'm surprised at this- I assumed that Mark would want to concentrate on promoting his forthcoming album and do a major solo tour rather than play the supporting role again. Though I must say I'd be very happy to hear more songs done together.

If its a summer tour, it wont affect...

Lets play  ;D

- February / March: Finish the record, mastering etc
- March / April / May: recording the film score
- June / July /August: touring the US with Dylan
- September: release the new record
- October / November / December: promos, showcases etc
- spring 2013, tour.

Yeah, I'm gonna try to play that game, too:

- February / March: Finish the record, mastering etc
- March / April / May: new album and promos, showcases etc
- June / July : recording the film score
- August: holiday
- September/October: touring with you-know-who
- October / November / December: holiday
- spring 2013, tour

I know, it's highly unlikely, because of that gap between a release in March and the consecutive tour in 2013....

Q:

Reading between the lines on some of your responses, it appears to me that there is another Dylan/Knopfler tour coming. I would hate to see that. I am a big fan of Dylan's, but would want to see a full concert set by MK and not the abbreviated set the dual tour provides. Any comment?   

Guy

You will get your wish

But when? This year already?

Post by: jbaent on February 03, 2012, 10:38:21 AM
Just read this from a forumer in EXPECTING RAIN called Nosferatu

Strange things!

According to my source there was indeed no plan to Tour this year.
There was never a plan to Tour with Petty. I wasn't told the reason but the talk about recently designed Tour posters was completely wrong and a joke of the Crew and perhaps even of Bob or the Band..

But since beginning of January there were indeed plans to Tour in South America (with MK!) in Spring (Between March and May).
Anyway they started to book locations and stopped everything a week ago. The order to stop came from Bob.
It's not sure what happens now, because they stopped proceedings but didn't cancel the locations.
There was also a plan to tour in USA west Coast ( with MK!!!) in June / July and Europe in Autumn. Also these plans got stopped.

Same thing happened 2008 were all plans got stopped (by order of Bob) but the proceedings continued two weeks later and the first dates arrived.

Let's see. Something is happening here and announcements even for South America might happen every day.

They have to be sure before they print them, sign contracts, print posters and have them around the town in order to spike the desire... There are a lot of things that take more than two days. We would see signs before the actual announcement.

I've been in many MK concerts without seeing any posters or anouncements in radios or tvs, so I wont worry about it.

Actually, if they have everything sorted (it looks like venues are booked) they only have to anounce the tour dates and put the tickets on sale, that can be done in two days if the rest is sorted. Sending tikets? Most of the ticket sellers can print and send tickets in two weeks, and if you collect them in the venue, even better. That means that the end of march or early april is perfectly suitable.

I really hope MK is NOT doing another BD tour and that was it. I could perfectly live with another two or three months BD/MK double header tour, this time
US and South America, because then I would not have to care about getting tickets and holidays etc... Then he should release his album in Sept/Oct as
usual and come back next year to do a "real" MK tour...

There are one or two rumours that Dylan will play European festivals this summer but I can't see those being with MK - but you never know, if Mark has nothing better to do with his time.

Anyway, one rumour is that there will be a press conference in Cortona today where the line-up for their arts and culture festival in August will be announced. Some apparently expect Dylan to be mentioned. IMHO, that would be premature. Even if Dylan's people have expressed an interest in this particular festival, I can't imagine that any contract will be signed until a series of dates at different places has been agreed, in which case we would surely have heard a number of other rumours by now. We shall see.

Bob Dylan Working on New Album at Jackson Browne's Studio

Bob Dylan is finally working on a new studio album, recording at the Los Angeles studio of Jackson Browne.
David Hidalgo, from Los Lobos, told the Apsen Times this week that he has been working with Bob on the record.
Hidalgo described the sessions as sounding nothing like Dylan had ever done.

I suppose it's possible that Mark was asked..and declined to make the trip to LA due to schedule conflicts with finishing the album mix. Even for a seasoned flyer like Mark..that's a hell of a chunk to take out of your schedule.

Personally, "fresh news" for me would be news about the new album eg title, cover art, exactly when it will be released and something about next year's tour dates.    It would also be nice to know when and if MK will join BD on tour in the autumn - I would rather he concentrated on getting this new album released though!   One good thing about him joining Bob on tour is the possibility of hearing some new songs from the album - a kind of showcase tour!   :)

As I have been saying for months, my own sources (who are pretty good) have said that MK and BD have reserved space in their diaries for a tour together this year and this autumn/fall in North America seemed most likely.

Both of them have new albums in the works. If those are released by then, which seems a decent bet, a tour of fairly major venues to support the release would be an eminently sensible move.

Hakuna Matata from one at ER sat on a plane back from the Mexico bob shows and in front of him sat a guy talking about him working in the BD tour crew. After asking he got the following reply:
late summer U.S. ballpark tour - currently booking venues, but he could not confirm whether this will be a ballpark tour or not
fall U.S. tour with MK - confirmed

I'm not going to give away his name or what he does. He was a super nice guy, very warm, down to earth and open to questions!

Post by: Love Expresso on May 15, 2012, 11:04:02 PM
I thought about it lately: Following the diary of the 2010 tour, it seems to me that the US are still a little "difficult" to tour for Mark - only very small venues, not that big audiences, maybe very expensive because of much travelling etc. So maybe MK kills two birds with one stone: Maybe a slightly longer set list as the 70 minutes from 2011, and that might it be for America. And after that, he tours Europe with a hopefully much longer set list - and without Bob!  ;)

Is it confirmed that the band will join, or will it Not simply be Mark as an extra Special additional Guitar Player? Did Guy confirm anywhere the band's participation?

Q: Doc, Any chance you will be in the house band again for this year

I would put a little bet on this order of events:

new album release late summer/early Autumn
promos in London
MK/BD tour of USA and album promotion in States, Autumn 2012
MK tour of Europe early/spring 2013.

My personal bet is no French promo this time and only 2 dates.  :disbelief

He may well go back to The States as he did that with the Emmy tour.

Well if it is with MK it'll be something like this I'd imagine:
CenturyLink Center, Omaha
Target Center, Minneapolis
Kohl Center, Madison
Bradley Center, Milwaukee
United Center, Chicago

These are all large arenas, they each have capacity of upwards of 18,000. When is the last time MK played North American venues of this size? Would have to be in the DS era. I suspect it's been a long time since BD played in these size arenas as well.  Not being familiar with the European venues that MK & DS visited last year I don't know how large an audience they played to each night.

I would be (unhappily) surprised if MK & BD played in venues this large in NA. Does anyone else think that the tour will be in large arenas in NA?

Well, the european venues they visited last october/november has big capacity, probably around 8.000 and 15.000, I didnt checked everyone of them but I think some of them were quite big, hockey, basket, multipurposes arenas...

Its true that in US and Canada MK always plays theateRs and venues like that and they are always venues much smaller than the ones he fills in Europe, but if playing with Dylan, they had to acomodate audience for both artists, or choose venues with big bars so the fans from BD and/or MK can spend their time there while the other is playing  ;D

By the way, the thing about monday, would it be an official anouncement or just that we will get more rumours?
