HENRICK HANSEN DOCUMENTARY: Henrick Hansen, who did the short film for the Tracker album promotion is to do a Mark Knopfler documentary scheduled for a 2018 release together with an in-concert film featuring live performances from the Tracker tour. A Tracker live album is under consideration but not confirmed. (30/06/17)

As per MK News...credits Klaas credits
But this is great! Copenhagen is one known location where he and his crew filmed throughout the whole show.
-
amazing news! :clap
-
I'm sure it'll be nice. Just a little strange to release a 2015 tour documentary in 2018, right? They're doing good work, but man, are they slow ... ::)
-
I say the Tracker tour was his worst tour so why on Earth by all means it's THAT tour they are finally do a documentary of? ::)

I personnally enjoyed the tracker tour, some of the versions are among the best ever which I played most often:
-Sos: renewed old licks, Sion version is top notch with the sound problem in the middle that led to funny comments from Mark;
-R&J with sax, great to have again;
-TR: ok, a bit slower, a bit less technical than say 2005, but much better sound, cristal clear. Sion version is the best again for me.
-Bia: great renewed intro, Cristal clear sound
-YLT: great touching intro (She's gone), great to hear again with Nigel
-OES is back ! Love it
-GH: Well played and great
-SAN: Superb and Crystal clear
-HFB: Great sound
-KOG: greater than in 2013
-MT: a bit long but original with Jim
-Postcards: fun as usual
-LAJADAS: good new song
-Skydiver and Broken bones: not great but fun
-Mighty man: quite impressive sound
All in all, quite worthwhile to me ! Will love the live film...

Because there'll be another tour in the future :lol
But seriously, I hope he would rethink his touring a bit, because for another "standard" 999 shows tour I think I'd stay at home.
-
I agree with LE. Even regulars were less well done than usual.
BB - worst opener ever. Offers nothing musically. Just get it over with and onto the next song. VERY gentle opener for the old guy.
R&J - sung with less power and emotion. Sax mixed with vocal during final verse and solo sounds quite strange - don't like it at all.
Sultans - very few versions on the whole tour are error free! Vocal again is emotionless on this one giving the song even less energy.
OES - not a patch on the DS version. Mark's guitar remarkably silent during the lyric part devoid of the licks to carry the tune off. The Dullards don't have the energy and power for the outro either.
HFB - well past it's best as Mark slows down. Really struggling with this now.
Marbletown - just gets longer and more boring!
YLT - never been good live and it's worse now than it's ever been. The intro is just a waste of a couple of minutes too, but lets the old boy catch his breath!
Postcards - alright when you're there but unless you're at the gig it's band intro fare.
TR - dropped. Why? Listen to some versions just before he dropped it and you'll realise. Dallas is probably the worst I've heard. There are some good versions from the tour but none are better than previous tours.
Positives:
Laughs and Jokes - Just can't help but feel he can always do the final solo better and longer, but it's always enjoyable anyway.
MM - one of the best songs at the concert. Never thought much of this song on the album but sitting at the concert this was magic.
KOG - some of the 2015 versions were the best ever and he seemed to find something in the solo that was missing previously. A pity he stopped playing it.
SAN - again, some of the very best versions in 2015. I can say Toronto 2015 was the best ever!
So the idea would be to take music from lots of concerts and edit them into the two filmed concerts (Copenhagen and Barcelona). I don't see this happening, especially if Guy reads this post!

I'd rather see a Golden Heart style tour; small scale and shorter.
-
Personally, I don't see the point of a live Tracker album. We already have the Tracker downloads and of those I purchased I only listen to one - Manchester, which I really enjoy. I am looking forward to the documentary and, of course the new album, though.
I agree with LE and dmg that the Tracker tour wasn't one of MK's best, but some songs were really good - MM and KOG especially.
Again, I agree with dmg that a Golden Heart length of tour would be best with, perhaps, more songs, rather than a very long tour where the set list just gets shorter and shorter as the tour progresses.

He should ask us... we know what's best for him to do anyway... ;D :D
LE

Why have a tour, anyway? Take a look at Van Morrison, at his early 70s he have concerts everywhere all the time without army of soldiers preparing the stage, million of concerts in a row, ect. And he visit unusual places, festivals, new towns every time. I especially love when he do shows in smaller venues. Yes, tickets are pricy, but not to the point of not going there.
Recently I was in Barcelona on Van Morrison's show, it was a festival under clear sky on the sea shore, not exactly a small venue, but he was relaxed and as smooth as a man can be. Forget about "tours", just go out there and play music! Like Sir Paul McCartney, like Sir Van Morrison. Maybe we should knight Mark so he will do the same for us? Oh, the Queen should do this, okay...
Why an album should be an excuse to play live, anyway? I'm a bit of tired of his standard "recording—album—tour" schedule, because when people say things like "it was his worst tour" you know something isn't right. Either that or I'm really afraid of the "New Album Name" Tour.

True. Why stick to this stringent regime all the time? One would think he doesn't have any back catalogue to choose from and he needs new songs to play! :lol
-
I stick to my opinion that Sion 2015 was a top-notch show - the last one I attended, first row in open air, Mark right in front of me and on fire, very good Sultans and TR - maybe not the most technical ever, but really enjoyable. I really hope I can see another one in future...

That's because he was working on a secret project that is taking him a lot of time. He also took a break dg 2016...

"Worst" in what respect? (Just wondering what you're take on that tour was.)
-
Total static setlist throughout the whole tour, Mark seemed tired from the first night on, bad opener, Privateering played much sloooower, total autopilot CBC, Hill Farmer and Sultans guitar songs made me cringe and feel embarrased that he dares to play them still, or slaughter them, Sax on R&J totally not fitting, tour date announcement in small parts total desaster for making plans, official recordings sounded utterly crap, made me think I hope no one of my people will be able to listen to this or they will ask me how I can be a fan of this... Mark's vocals not good from Dublin on, he missed more lyrics than ever...
I think that was it...
I saw him in Dublin, Hamburg and Munich. .. In Hamburg I literally almost fell asleep during Postcards, no joke...
The whole tour, even Guy's diary, seemed utterly bored. And boring.
How I miss the 2013 tour... daily setlist changes, powerful guitar playing, good vibes... Listen to the later shows in July from Dijon or Padova 2013 and compare to the Munich 2015 recording with open ears.
LE

Still not sure if I will buy tickets if another tour is announced, really the impact of 2015. As much as I really love the Tracker album, the "live magic" is totally gone since 2015. Best part about it was and is the opportunity to meet all the great AMIT people and fans..

Okay, I see. I'm sure there is (sadly) some truth in what you say. I didn't see/hear that much of a difference between 2013 and 2015 (even thought hat the Sultans solo was a less embarrassing in 2015), but then I only went to one concert per tour - not a statistically valid sample. What I do remember that I was outright shocked when I heard that he made "Broken Bones" the opener, but funnily, when I listen to Tracker-tour concerts now, I kind of like it. But yeah, a change of personnel, more setlist changes and a goodbye kiss to Sultans certainly would make the next tour a better experience. Speaking of which: Of course you'll go. Don't be silly. Hey, it's Mark Knopfler!

I tend to agree with a lot of what you say, LE. I was at four of the concerts - Manchester, Newcastle, London O2 and RAH. Of these, Manchester is definitely the best and I'm still enjoying listening to the recording. The others, though are not up to MK's usual standard, especially Newcastle which is unlistenable for me, due to the poor sound quality. In fact, Manchester is the only one I still listen to and MK seemed to have a lot of energy at this concert. Interestingly, Manchester was the concert which was remixed after a lot of complaints. Generally, though the official recordings were not as good as on previous tours, from those I have heard. of course!
At Manchester I really enjoyed SOS, MM, KoG, Skydiver, TR and GH but just like you I dislike the sax on R&J - it completely ruined the song for me. Also I feel that HFB has run it's course now and should probably be dropped next tour.
I still listen with pleasure to the 2010 and 2013 concerts!
-
Yeah, three shows at least I guess... ::)
:lol

I'm with you, this is the first tour I went away wishing I hadn't bothered. Set list was dull and as I said at the time MK was not match fit. I can't listen to any of the recordings from the tour. I did however love Broken Bones but I think I'm on my own with that.
-
May I suggest you listen to Sion 2015. Superb sound, very good SOS, TR, HFB, SAN and LH.
Yeah maybe a bit less energetic than Saint-Julien 2013 but si much emotion. Performances are even better than Manchester's, altough Manchester recording sound quality is unique !
So it really depended on the night and recording quality...

You're not alone. And it wasn't all bad. I believe that is exaggerating. But everyone can have their opinion of course:-) Although I agree MK could've done better overall. It wasn't bad, but he could've done better.
-
MK always say he like compose, record and perform. Three things. But sometimes I feel performance is only the duty for him. Like he becomes bored after few concert. Maybe he must change for difrent strategy.
-
Funny, because Guy said it was the best tour ever! lol
I'm pretty sure they remixed the Dublin show as well as the Manchester one. Apart from that they sound awful and do the performances no favours whatsoever.
-
Another broken bones fan here. Drop marbletown. Drop Ylt, oes, speedway, brothers, sultans, and I am forgetting a few. Do a whole new setlist,...i understand one needs a few all time favourites, for the general public, bring back some you have not played in ages, tunnel, money, private inv. (?), your own sweet way..maybe add a cover, forever young, some Clapton 1988-89 song, apache...stir the shit up. The catalogue is so massive.

Not sure about Dublin but Manchester sounds fabulous !!
Sion sounds just a bit less good, but the performance is so much better. One of the best ever for me. Just give this one a try, you may change your mind about 2015...

I watched the YT video of Sultans the other day after you mentioned it and it is indeed a nice version although not my favourite from the tour. St Julien is one of the best concerts overall IMHO with a very nice Sultans.
-
Listen to TR from Sion: Crystal clear, not super technical but smooth and rather long for 2015 (13:41). I quite love it.
-
It may be a little "left field" for some and may not do the song justice without Paul Franklin and "The Box", but YAYF could be a serious contender for the next tour. Its not fast so no hugely challenging solo's, but provides a new song for the set list, it ticks the electric guitar box, and OES is an awesome version which could sit with the new material MK writes these days. Basically MK can just stand there and make one of his mighty Pensa's howl!

He would just replace PF with the folkies. He would be trying to get them into the song in any event! It would still be nice to hear this OES classic though.
@ Herlock. Done a search on YT and can't find TR from Sion and I don't have the download. Sorry.

True, but there is a lot to do with the sound to make it better than the downloads. Listen to "Real Live Roadrunning" and compare it with the downloads. It's a different league and to me that has a lot to say. I rarely listen to the downloads, and that is mainly because I don't like the sound of it. They sound a bit strange in my ears.

The sound of the tour downloads is -overall- terrible. The ones that I like are Newcastle and Manchester. Maybe Rome, or Kansas. I rather listen to my own audience recordings :D
-
Some 2015 recordings were rushed and sound terrible. But other were properly made and sound greater than anything before , with each instrument clearly audible. Manchester is outstanding, Sion is excellent.
-
On the subject of 2015 recordings, since the Bleecker company is not defunct surely it is possible to share any of our audience recordings now on the tracker. One of my favourite shows sound wise is from Woodinville 12.09.15 as it is so rich and warm with plenty bass and no annoying clapping nearby. The instruments actually sound in-tune as well, unlike the Bleecker recordings!

I was at the Manchester show, it was good and MK had energy. But the recordings, and even the remix are bad. I can listen to them now but only because the memory of the sound from the show night has faded!
It's a shame the downloads are so rubbish though, Liverpool 2013 sounds great as does Manchester 2010 when despite his bad back his playing was superb!
Will I go again? Yes of course but probably only to one show - which is a shame because I'd love to see him in a different country and environment, and one day he won't be touring and I'll say I should have gone to more shows! DS in 1992 was my first ever gig, still regret only going to one show even though that tour had a static set list as well!!

I think it is not possible, they still have rights, and as an official stuff, is against the rules of the tracker.
Anyway, privately, I can share all of them with any fan who wants them. PM me.

The US concerts are available in MK.com

Are you saying audience recordings can't be shared if there is a live download, or not sharing the live download (which makes much more sense)?
-
Quality of 2015 recordings was bad beyond belief... I still can't listen to the decent recordings of Brothers In Arms song without thinking "Oh, see, you CAN set the right volume for this accordion, it's not rocket science". But among tons and loads of other mistakes this accordion... man... If you can't even set the volume right, how come you're working with MK?

This is the reason why Guy once said it's easier to become their band member than their roadie or engineer. But someone succeed...

I was also at the Manchester show and, I agree, it was excellent, but I am also enjoying the recording and imo it is one of the best of those from 2015 I have heard. Even so, I have to agree with you that compared to Manchester 2010 it is nowhere near as good regarding performance. Of all the MK concerts, Manchester 2010 is the one I listen to most and never tire of hearing! I was also at Liverpool 2013 and although it was a really good show, MK's voice was a bit croaky. :)

We have audience from all we don´t have SBD but this 4: 16-09, 20-09, 4-10 and 14-10.

Uppsala 13/6-2015 exists in SBD from Swedish National Radio.
Which was waaaay better mixed than the official.
edit: though it is not the full show..
-
I love the intro to Prairie Wedding in Manchester 2010 where MK jokes "look, I can get up again now!"
-
Mk 2008 was one of the best shows I remember!
A varied set list, just one folkie and loads of energy.
Such a shame the recordings were never released......

Fully agree! Hill Farmer for the first (and best) time... and the sensation of having that long version of Marbletown.... back then... ::)
I really loved True Love Will Never Fade, he nailed it and Danny had a good drive on it... great Sultans... even Cannibals worked much better as an opener than Broken Bones... the Why Aye Man/What It Is combination at the beginning really brought a lot of energy although WII was shortened...

I was at the first night in Amsterdam at the front and I remember being sooo excited! It was such a surprise to hear so many songs for the first time and an extended Marbletown too - we didn't know what was coming next, being the first show! The second night was great too with Devil Baby! I think of 2008 as the Ragpicker's tour, because of so many songs being played from that album.

I'd be interested in hearing this too!
I was thinking that the number of radio broadcasts has fallen, why is that? Does the band charge for such shows?

Does anyone have a complete list of the shows that were filmed by Hansen?
Hope the live footage will contain full songs opposed to some voiced-over fragments of live material as seen before in MK documentaries. If they recorded enough shows it must be possible to compile a decent live set, sure hope so as the Bleecker recordings aren't too good soundwise and a single show would contain far to many mistakes by MK.

I wouldn't hold my breath for full length songs. In Copenhagen they shot for a couple of minutes then moved around, shot a couple of minutes, then moved. They had fixed positions both in front of and up on the stage in a circular kind of motion.
It was HH and his cameraman with a tiny HD-cam on a tripod. It looked kinda funny with one man directing another using one single cam.
What was confusing was that the Tivoli Garden's had fixed cameras on stage as well since they had two enormous LED-screens on each side of the stage. So it was hard to tell if that was a part of it. We'll have to wait and see. :)

Mmmm, I think you guys overestimate the words "live album".
What it means is a separate CD with a live album, not the video one, I think.
And should they release it? Of course, because more CDs means more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
But when I saw "in-concert" film I thought about something like the latest Roger Waters documentary or this:

Uppsala 13/6-2015 exists in SBD from Swedish National Radio.
Which was waaaay better mixed than the official.
Can anyone share?

Yes, i see the issue. Unfortunately I don't think i can fix that easily :think. The new video plugin doesn't work at the preview screen. Who uses the preview utility anyway? ::) :P

I do use the preview just to check the images/url/video I insert would work before I presh "post"

It is not possbile to fix according to the creator of the video embed plugin. A fix will cause other issues he said.

In contrast to the mk.com website the new MK News website in its post of June 30th does not mention a possible live album ("a Tracker live album may possibly accompany the documentary") anymore.
Can we read into it that those plans have been abandoned?

Click in the news and you'll get a expanded info:
30th June, 2017
Henrick Hansen, who did the short film for the Tracker album promotion, is to do a Mark Knopfler documentary scheduled for a 2018 release together with an in-concert film featuring live performances from the Tracker tour. A Tracker live album to accompany the documentary is also under consideration but not confirmed.

Thank you! :thumbsup

So it is still not finished which I thought it would be by now :think

Yeah, apparently he filmed a few gigs but according to what I heard there were no more than a couple of cameras and it seemed that he was shooting bits and pieces rather than full performances.
The only project I'm really looking forward to is the new album. I have very little interest in this doc and no interest at all in the musical.

Two of the concerts being Copenhagen and Barcelona, the latter being mostly available to view on YT already and not one of the best gigs. Can't see much of this particular concert making it onto an official release.

Barcelona concert was great, I was there and I was quite surprised about the show, I wasn't expecting anything special, since I saw him four times already in that tour but it was the best of all the concerts I attented that tour (Dublin, London O2, Birmingham, Gredos and Barcelona)

Nothing... We just had the biggest thunderstorm ever above us on an open air concert. It was so hard that I couldn't see my own hand.

I am actually very excited over the documentary. I think Hansen´s five minute Tracker film is fantastic, and I don´t know how many times I have seen it. To me, Tracker is Mark´s most personal album so far, and the documentary suits that very well. I think it captures the man behind the music in a beautiful way. If we get a 90 minute film of this caliber, then :clap :clap :clap

I haven’t checked the whole concert but Sultans from Barcelona 2015 is cringeworthy, maybe the worst final solo Mark has ever played. Maybe the rest of the gig was good though.

You know my opinion but that's because he's obliged to play it. And also because the musicians tend to sleep while performing that song.
-
In my opinion the problem with Sultans is that when improvising Mark plays very slow and melodic licks and then suddenly he moves on to those classic fast licks. It feels disconnected, there’s no sense of continuity. Anyway, I don’t want to deviate from the topic, sorry.
-
That short film of Hansen was done extremely well with lot of good images and cuts and sound and all but was really just a Trailer clip. To call it a short Film was pretty bold from my point of view.

Was Hansen at the O2 show? I'm asking because there were several house cameras recording that concert including one on Mark's Strat's headstock. If those can be used and combined with Hansen's that would start to get my attention.

No, he wasn't. All the cameras there were from the O2 to show the concert in their screens.

This makes me wonder why they do not use screens from the venue at all concerts? It was not the case in Sportpaleis Antwerp and they also have their own cameras and screens...

On Henrik's website there is a new category: http://henrikhansen.net/feature-films
with "Mark Knopfler - untitled feature documentary", the pic is from the Tracker short film, but the Tracker short film itself is listed and available under the category "shorts". So maybe this could be a hint for things to come.
Maybe they used the "old pic" not to give away new material?
-
Feature?
That word with the others gives any clue about it?

The word "feature" usually means full-length as opposed to a short, in reference to films. Perhaps a documentary inter-spliced with concert footage lasting around an hour and a half?

Thank you DMG! I usually get lost with some English expressions.

Guy today about the documentary: To be honest, I have no idea what the plans are for the doc. :think
-
Thank you DMG! I usually get lost with some English expressions.
It's an old expression from the "old days" when you would go to the cinema and they would show a short b-movie before the main feature. Therefore the main film was called the feature film.

In Guy's diary there are pictures of Hansen filming while they were at BG recording so I guess they are including footage of the new record too and who know if something from the musical... So the documentary would take.more time to be released...

The video for "Good on you Son" could be at the same time the trailer for the Henrik Hansen MK feature film.

I am totally overwhelmed by the video!
Judging from this short impression, the Henrik Hansen feature film will be bloody fantastic, finally something that does the genius of MK justice!

I have just written an email emotionally thanking Henrik for this most beautiful piece of art that his forthcoming film will be!

I think Henrik Hansen has recorded sessions for the musical as well, as you can see an accordion player which is not credited for the MK record and also bassist Ewan Vernal...
I made this screen captures:
- All the band clapping. I recall they did something like this for the song "Privateering", I heard some clapping at the single so it must be it
- Glyn Johns with MK. Maybe he was just paying a visit, I dont recall he was involved in the record nor the musical
- McGoldrick and the accordion player (maybe is the one who played in A shot at glory and Crimson, which name doesnt comes to mind now)
- Ewan Vernal on bass. He was the bassist in some promo gigs and also in the history festival with MK, usually plays with McCusker
-
And Robbie McIntosh

And Robbie McIntosh
I didn't pay attention during the clip; I thought that was Mark he-he

The clapping scene cannot be from the Privateering days as Mark aquired these glases only after October 2016.
And Henrik wasn't around yet in those days, too.

No, Tom Walsh is there so this is from these sessions. There are clapping in "Good on you son"

And Henrik wasn't around yet in those days, too.
Are you sure? I was at the Privateering concert in Amsterdam, and I was seated at the first ring, on the right. About an hour and a half before the show I saw Mark walking around and discussing things with technicians. I remember thinking: "that's a fashionable pair of glasses he's got there!".
I'm not the kind of person to swear on something, but I'd swear on my MK GH press kit, that he wore those glasses back then!
Not that it matters, there's still no news of the HH film...

Indoor images are probably from the concert in the Palace Theater in Albany NY on 11th October 2015. @4:38 you can see MK carry out his stretching excercises. On the mirror is the dated program for the afternoon/evening. (5 pm MK soundcheck, 8 pm concert).

Just seen that on MK News, because 'Tracker' tour certainly wasn't the best of tours I wonder if MK is not approving the release or will if he selects what gets released......
-
Maybe they will film the upcoming tour as well and use that material for the doc.
-
Guy today:
Hi Doc, wasn’t there supposed to be a new Henrik Hansen movie(like the one for Tracker), do you have any info on that or that relates to the interview from the BG studios..?
Guy: I’m afraid not.

UPDATE from TK :
https://www.mark-knopfler-news.co.uk/henrick-hansen-film/
Update: 10 Dec 2018 – this is a work in progress. The doc is not yet finished.
-
Perhaps a documentary with clips of songs, but in all honesty I cannot see a live show or even compilation without it being heavily edited. I don't really see the market for a documentary though...
-
With all the material recorded of the Tracker tour, with a new record and an upcoming tour, waiting more and adding more material sounds weird...
Tracker material already looks ancient times to me now.
-
I suspect it is because they want to add all about the Local Hero musical as it is a unique thing in Mark's career.

I totally agree with you. Each detail of the Tracker documentary is very beautiful. You can call it big art.
I`m looking forward to the new one.

Even the video for “Good on You son” has enough backstage footage to make this look like an awesome project.
-
"Feature length" sounds like over an hour to me. Included in the next box set maybe... :think

Erm, well 90 minutes of non stop 'The master' entertainment of course!!! I suspect there are lots of film from Henrik of MK taken over the last few years....

It will be interesting to find out who has been interviewed for this film too. I hope a trailer will be released at some point too.

We have a trailer already, it's called "good on you son" videoclip.

I wonder if the illness that befell the band had anything to do with the fate of this project. I mean a good part of this was filmed at the show in Barcelona when the bug was still present if I recall and performances did suffer. Some concerts in Spain that tour weren't the best.
Copenhagen was also filmed though, and from the video it seems they did Albany too, which was the best show of the three (but no TR).

At least it provides an idea of the material Hansen has recorded and might be on the documentary.
he also was at the Chalk Valley History Festival so I guess something from that might get used too.

I just hope it will be worth the wait after all this time!!!

I still don't believe is going to be released. I'm too used to wait for dvd releases that finally are not released. I remember Madrid 2001 dvd had a proposed release date, and we all know how that went...

So great to listen "occupation blues" played live.

Oh I agree it was worth everything to see MK in wellies and an added bonus to hear OB Live too!!!

yes was great being there , car broke down on way back and pushed out of the mud , great to feel close to the band meeting guy was really nice too and mk in wellies was cool

Yes it was a surreal occasion wasn't it??!! I remember getting there very early to look round and then spotting MK and family in wellies! Mind you yes I needed a push out of the car park too!
-
I copy that Knopflerfan, it was kind of surreal. I hope we will see some of it in the documentary. I sent an email to HH in the beginning of March, but no reply. One email must be ok, but I don't feel like pushing it.

My experience was even more surreal... I was sitting in a desk having something to eat with my friends and MK and his family arrived, bought something to eat and sat in the table next to us!!!!!

It was quite surreal, nobody noticed him or pretended not to notice him. He passed walking by in front of me and I didn't noticed him either. One of my friends left his seat like he was Flash and in a blink of an eye he was saying Hi to MK and shaking hands, and also in a blink of an eye I took my phone and took a picture of the moment as I noticed what was happening!.
All was so quick that I don't remember how it happened... Mk, his wife and youngest daughter went to buy something to one of the food tracks and after that, came and seat in the table just next to us, he made a movement with his head toward my friend, and they stayed there having their food, just next to us, and nobody said a thing to them, we didn't bothered them either further than that shaking hands from my friend that was very polite and didn't last more than 10 seconds... My friend actually is very shy but he couldn't resist!

Because we all know how important his privacy is to him, it was very respectful of you and all of the others not to bother him. :thumbsup

We're still at early June...
A usual release date might be autumm 2021 but considering MK is recording a new cd, and how lazy are they, probably, it Hansen's video gets released, would make it as a bonus dvd in MK new album...
-
A bonus DVD in connection with the next release would indeed be a good idea.
-
Guy is avoiding the question on this project. I wonder if it is stil happening. He's not answering but he could say something like, still working on that or something else. Perhaps MK canceled the project but Guy is not at liberty to say.

It's just in the development hell... You can't make a documentary movie for such a long time, it makes no sense. Maybe Mark wants to include his upcoming album in it prominently or something. The worst thing about projects in development hell is that it builds and builds expectations, and then it finally releases and doesn't meet your expectations at all. You think if they make a movie for so long, it has to be a masterpiece, no less.
-
Ofcourse people ecpect something if you post this on your website:
June 30, 2017
Henrick Hansen, who did the short film for the Tracker album promotion, is to make a Mark Knopfler documentary scheduled for a 2018 release together with an in-concert film featuring live performances from the Tracker tour. A Tracker live album may possibly accompany the documentary.
-
But my guess is it has been delayed. Some time ago this was listed as 2021 release on his website.
Now it says untitled feature documenrary. Nothing about 2021 release date anymore.
http://henrikhansen.net/feature-films
-
It still says 2021 in the last sentence on the page. If it is going to happen, is up to Mark I guess. Why did he let HH start on such a project, and let him go on for *years*, if he doesn't intend to release it? ???

My guess would be that the 2021 date would have been given with an expectation to release it in a 25th anniversary box set. Since we already know the contents of that then I think this may well end up beside the Madrid 2001 DVD etc. ::)

I don't think so... I'm pretty sure we will see it! It would be the worst decision of them all to cancel this film.
Because I remember the Tracker movie, and they released it like it was nothing, just as a part of the marketing campaign. It was terribly short, but it tied the whole album together. Still, when I remember times and songs from the album, I'm thinking about stills from that little documentary! Brilliantly shot, beautiful scenes, amazing Mark, amazing music, everything's great.
With the release of Down The Road Wherever all they had was this weird EPK with chubby and constantly heavy breathing and coughing Mark, an interviewer whom you can't even hear asking questions, a lousy backdrop. It was terrible and I DON'T want to watch it again. Whoever came up with this was out of his mind!
A new documentary, however, coming from the same guy who's made Tracker... Anyway, my point is if that's going to be something that I'll remember and cherish for the rest of my life, and it will be as masterfully done as the Tracker movie, I can wait even 10 years.
-
Maybe they are just waiting MK gathers his band to record his next album and add material from these sessions before releasing.
-
The problem with a documentary like this is when do you end filming? I mean with something like The Beatles Anthology, it had an ending, because the band broke up, with the, George Harrison: Living in the Material World film, it had an ending, because George was dead, but Mark is alive and making new music, making a musical, and who know what else, so, when do you stop filming? A Life in Songs is a great film, but since it's release 10 years have gone by and Mark has made more albums. I still believe this film will be released, it is still scheduled for this year, so, if it is coming our this year, it would be good to see a trailer.

That's certainly a problem, however a pretty unprofessional and too "perfectionistic" point of view. A perfectionist will never release an album or a movie because there's always something to add or change... To be honest, that's another sign of Mark's process of falling down artistic-wise to me, I really hope the movie will be released this year no matter what. Whether Mark will do 10 more albums or no albums at all, it's frustrating to leave such projects on halt.
-
They could end with his last world tour.
-
They could end with his last world tour.
Yes, and that could be a good reason for a delay.
I'm still hopefully that the docu will soon see the light of the day.
-
Maybe ending with the last tour and the recording of the new cd after their last tour...
They bought the screens recordings from the O2 arena in London so I guess they had the intention to use it somehow...
-
"To be honest, that's another sign of Mark's process of falling down artistic-wise to me"
Really?
-
"To be honest, that's another sign of Mark's process of falling down artistic-wise to me"
Really?
Because there are no real reasons to give everybody a rain check and announce a movie that will be out in the next 5 years and no certain date. If they weren't sure, why then announce it at all, just make it silently in the background. Then, suddenly they want to add something extra, but that's, as was discussed before, is a process with no end. Even if Mark dies, you can still add chapters on his legacy, etc, you can go on and on forever. When you would stop working on such a movie? For how long you're going to polish it? So many questions...
And not only this movie, but the "Back In The Day" song was also announced, published on MK.com, and not released at all. Was it a flop? Was it recorded at all? Why they forgot about it? Why not bother to release it when there are a million ways to release it nowadays?
-
This is all true, but 'falling down artistic' these are too big and unjust words for me.
-
Still perfectly possible.
The Tom Petty documentary was released when they were still a going concern and that's probably the best music documentary I've ever seen.
-
This is all true, but 'falling down artistic' these are too big and unjust words for me.
But I said "a sign", not that this has happened or something, just another thing that I'm not in love with, and that MK is such an old-school guy overall, even when it comes to such things as the uncertainty of certain releases. If only somebody could ask him about it...
Still perfectly possible.

And yes! The end result matters the most, I hope it will be released and will be awesome.

It's directed by Peter Bogdanovich and it's amazing.

Seems like a great movie, here's the link on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runnin%27_Down_a_Dream_(film)
I'll watch it indeed! But it also makes me think that there's NO way that Henrik Hansen's documentary would be 4 hours long. My bet is that it won't be even more than 1 hour long. Tracker documentary was something about 5 minutes :lol
-
It's crazy that it's 4 hours but it doesn't seem that long.
I've watched it a few times and would like to see it again.
-
The Henrik Hansen film is going to be feature length, which can mean anything really, but in general you would think it means 90-120 mins.
-
In general, yes, so it will be 60 to 70 min in MK's world. :lol

The theory being if we do not expect a documentary and then one day the news of a documentary release comes - then by jove we shall all be so happy!! Simples!!!

But, we have no choice but to expect it, the director of the film has said it will be released this year, so until that changes, we have to expect it.

He knows what's going on for sure. Ask him something about the new MK album and he wil give some answer.
But the HH documentary :think

Has anybody tried to contact HH or his "colleagues"? I sent an email in March, then one to another address this week. No reply yet. I doubt it will help this time, but sometimes it does help to ask (politely of course). I asked Roland about the keyboard-article on Jim Cox and GF, and they had actually forgot about it. It was uploaded a few days after my request :)

He is probably as miffed as everyone else why the project hasn't seen the light of day.

In Russia, we have a song "Zvezdy ne ezdyat v metro", meaning "Celebrities don't ride the subway". I think people like this are just too cool to answer emails :lol
I think everybody universally understands that the project is on halt, or at least in the very slow development, so it will be ready only when it's done. Hence no answers from anybody.
-
If it is delayed they will probably also change it at some point on HH website to a 2022 release.......

What do you expect from someone who released zero dvd/bluray concerts after so many years and tours and
now even tours with a crap computer simulation (kemper) of his own real amps that damages the sound quality,
he has his own ideas that are respectable from one point of view but offensive to a lot of fans from another
David Gilmour releases 1 or even 2 bluray concerts from each tour, Eric Clapton releases bluray concerts from tours
or even private sessions like the one coming in November, Mark Knopfler releases nothing after so many tours, that's it

Just for interest do DG or Crapton release audio recordings of their shows each night they play like MK?? Just curious...

I feel that Mark's not comfortable with the video format from day 1. While in the early days or even before the internet there were a lot of videos, but merely because Mark "needed" to do it in order to promote his music, I think now he's in his "videoless heaven", when he doesn't need to, and more importantly, doesn't want to make videos. From the interviews, we can get that he's not a fan of music videos either. So he's just not a video guy as much as he's not a prose guy.
Concert recordings are fine, but to be honest with you I never listened to those, even the shows I went to. It's okay and a great addition to the collection, but not more. I can live without it. If that's "the substitute" for proper live albums, then I have bad news for Mark :lol
-
Agree, he seems uncomfortable and very reluctant with the video format. As said before, I don't understand why he let HH start the project in the first place. Does it end up with just him sitting in a room at BG, answering questions he himself made? HH probably is miffed, yes. I truly hope I am wrong with all this :-\ :)

yes, some audience recordings are vastly superior to those 'soundboards' , at least the Pensa on Telegraph sounds like a great guitar, not like a 100 euro guitar as in those 'soundboards', incredible stuff frankly, but he tours with a Kemper, so anything is possible, in the bad direction unfortunately

and what about the video of 'Good on you son' where you can see they have the live video recordings from different shows,

I'm actually centering on general releases as I'm of the theory MK isn't keen on video releases.

Can you explain the dislike of the Kemper? I thought it sounded awesome when I saw MK in Leeds.....
-
I also dislike the Kemper sound. All sounds too distorted in my opinion, the Strat sounds is not as clean as usual but some kind of dirty, like the Clapton guitar sounds, and the Les Paul didn't sounded as rough as usual, just with more distortion.
Before I knew anything about the Kemper, during the first concert in Barcelona I mentioned that to my friends, that the sound was too distorted in my opinion, that he had changed of amps, effects or something, and some days after I heard about the Kemper, and that explained everything.

Do I really need to ? A guitar god should tour with his own usual real amps and have a 10/10 sound,
a kemper is an excellent simulation but surely not perfect, especially on the distorted sounds but not only on those,
the reason behind using a simulation vs the real thing in a world tour is frankly incomprehensible at best,
I should use a much more negative word but I won't
-
I think his choice of amp on tours is more down to sponsorship than anything else tbh.
Remember this:

I also dislike the Kemper sound. All sounds too distorted in my opinion, the Strat sounds is not as clean as usual but some kind of dirty, like the Clapton guitar sounds, and the Les Paul didn't sounded as rough as usual, just with more distortion.

Same here. When I listened to the Barcelona recording for the first time I had a very different feeling compared to previous tour recordings. I didn't know what it was, but the sound was different.

I certainly hear the difference between a real amp and Kemper, but I think the problem here is that it's too "in your face", probably too much dry signal. I think you can easily make the real amp sounding as "lifeless" as Kemper or even worse, it just needs more work. The real amp is easier to dial in but harder to keep and to transport, and Kemper is easier to transport, but harder to dial it in...

Swings and roundabouts I'd say....again like dmg has previously said I expect it comes down to sponsorship....I prefer the 'real' deal like anyone but I didn't mind the Kemper sound. To be honest I would just like to hear MK play live again even if was through the Kemper but I'm not 100% sure I'm going to...

To transport a Kemper on tour is easier than transport all his different amps... maybe cheaper? I don't know. What I know for sure is that I don't like how it sounds.
Hope that if he gets to play again, he choose the real amps, if not, Kemper is better that not playing at all.

I beg to differ! Kemper isn't that bad!

Disappointing there is no official video release, but sometimes the official releases are disappointing anyway (OTN, ANIL, ATRR to a degree).
We are spoiled by the amount of fan made videos with soundboard on youtube, a lot of them are brilliant.

I don't get all the disappointments with Mark's live releases. I think they are clearly a perfect representation of MK's mood at the time:
Alchemy: fresh, young, raw, success, one-night recording, no overdubs
On The Night: exhausted but perfectly excecuted, multiple shows
A Night In London: even more exhausted but happy to get rid of Dire Straits for good
Roadrunning: perfectly recorded and mixed, but even happier than before, small tour to emphasize going small scale
Last 15 years: the ultimate "I don't give a damn" MK

Ah, yes. The filming style and the shaky camera is questionable indeed, and Mark's shirt is also not something to die for or write a song about :lol I find it utterly hilarious that probably the best outfit Mark had on a live show was probably On Every Street denim jacket and jeans. Can't go wrong with that :lol
-
That shirt though, probably XXXXL ;D. I wonder if no one really says something to him in time when it is so obviously unfitting...
When I saw him in Hamburg very early on that tour he had a black shirt and looked very good and was in very good shape though. I always wonder why he agrees to release a show with a bad Sultans and him really being hang-overed like ANIL.. Anti to the people at the most..

Really? I have heard this mentioned before, and I got get any impression of that, in fact I would say the opposite, because, like you say, he is happy to get rid of Dire Straits for good. During the last DS tour it was to easy for him, he needed a new challenge, and I think this show displays that, no more long solos, smaller venue, more rootsy songs, playing with top class Nashville musicians etc.

Yes, I guess so in some ways. It was a very laid back affair....which we all know now that was the way it was to be! Sultans was very good....

On The Night: exhausted but perfectly excecuted, multiple shows
DS was about to 'be done' and to be honest looking at it now MK looks bored with the whole deal....
-
Exactly, at the end of that tour he had done everything he had wanted to do as a guitarist, after that he wanted to be the songwriter who also played guitar, so a solo career was the best option, after his mentor Chet died, Mark had nothing left to prove as a player, so he focused even more as being a song writer.

To which he has excelled beyond belief...almost as if being in DS was like being in a cocoon and upon leaving it behind he found new life!!

It's true thinking on the DVD releases alone from playing the last notes on the OES tour and moving away from DS, The master had become more laid back in his styles and he seemed much happier to be playing what he wanted. In 1995/96 a new freedom had been found..The rest is history...

I think Mark understands that people really love seeing him on video. I often rewatch many of his videos for research purposes and often, well, not often — I always find exceptional compliments and good stories. Mark's videos get exceptional comments and praise, but the man himself apparently thinks that he gives people enough with music and some interviews. Good for him! A life in songs and Tracker EPK was great, but we want more!

Good point, I wonder if there will be a bonus disc of some film in the elaborate box set for the new album? along with a pair of socks, a teabag and a coupon for 10% of a shirt similar to one of Guys!!!!!!! :lol :lol :lol :lol
Mark and interesting merchandise? That's fantastic. But no, you'll get a mug, a keychain, and an old iPhone case at best :lol
Haha Haha!!!

Someone asked Guy again about the documentary.
Let us hope Guy can/wil answer….

Hello guy, thought you'd have manners to answer question I asked all you had to say was yes or no by the way we are same people who buy your records etc at least you could have said something 😉 won't bother you again thanks
-
I think we can forget about this documentary...

Yes, IF it won't be announced with the new album, I think.

Guy did answer though:
Give me a break David. It has nothing to do with manners and everything to do with timing and politics. As it happens, I didn’t know what progress was being made regarding the film so I asked Mark’s management this afternoon…on your behalf. The film is complete but I am unable to say any more. I’m sure you understand that.

Several years later the film is complete ? the usual childish Guy Fletcher answer which means nothing
tell us something clear or new if you wanna help
A Star Wars Trilogy is produced and released faster
-
Perhaps it will turn up as something extra with the new album in a year or so :think
-
The film is complete, as it is the Madrid 2001, London 2002, or BBC 2013.
Let's move on and look forward.

No disrespect to Mr Hansen, but can anyone enlighten me as to his film making credentials? I’ve looked online but can’t find much.

I agree with Guy, I think he is good to the fans, people can't expect anything from him, and the bits he does provide us with are and should be welcome. He is a high calibre musician who is the right hand man of one of the greatest ever, so I feel fortunate for that, clearly Mark doesn't do social media, I don't blame him for that!!! so Guy is doing this for us through his own good will, patience is a virtue, and Mr Murdock could have waited a bit longer for a response from Guy I think.
If Guy has said the film is finished, I think it will be released, there is no reason to think otherwise, it will be released when it is released.

Thanks, mainly car commercials.

Exactly. I do not have a problem with that. I am patiently waiting.

"Henrik’s feature length biographical documentary on Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits) is set to release 2021."
It is still 2021, so I'm still hopeful! :)
-
Like you Val, I am always hopeful ;D
-
It's like we didn't learnt a thing in the last 20 years...
-
If Guy asked Mark's management about it, and they said the film is finished, but didn't say it won't be released, why is the assumption it won't be released? in the film industry there are many reasons for a delay, I just feel it is wrong to keep guessing things without any evidence. If ABBA can release a new album after 39 years, then anything is possible.

Do you want evidences?
Take a look at this, published in MKNEWS on 19th October 2001, that piece is dates 10th August 2001
STP MADRID DVD: The live recording of the STP show in Madrid on the 2nd of July has been provisionally scheduled for release next April. No live CD is planned but there may be a video. Further details to follow. (10/08/01)
You can check that here: http://www.mark-knopfler-news.co.uk/web5.htm
Do you need more evidences?
What about the London, Shepherd Bush Empire 2002 concert fully filmed by proffesional cammeras?
What about the 2013 BBC fully recorded to be broadcasted? ( https://guyfletcher.co.uk/2013mkeuro_23rd_may_2013_-_tv_special_recording/ )
Do you need more evidences?
If this was a balance, the part where we put the "It's not going to be released at all" would be quite close to the floor.
-
The BBC one breaks my heart, I'm sure it would have been brilliant.
-
Each project is different, and the reasons behind not releasing them will be different, so I am am still hopeful this will be released, the current evidence for this project means it will be released, but that doesn't mean that could change.

Wait and see.
I will be more than happy to be wrong about this, for the first time.

All I can say is, future generations will get lots of unreleased stuff! It ALL will be released, no doubt about it, the only question is when.
-
You could be right, I suspect it will be after the sad day that Mark dies :(
-
Yes, it's a shame that all of these great recordings/videos haven't been released yet, but I never give up hope and in the meantime I do enjoy all of this wonderful music he has made during his long career.
-
The reason given for not releasing the Madrid 2001 DVD was the audience was, ahem, too noisy! :disbelief
My opinion: It just wasn't a very good show and would've needed too much editing from the other shows. There are many better shows from that tour.

They recorded audio also from Bilbao, Newcastle and Glasgow for that reason, but, that's too much work, so, just abandon it!

They worked wonders with the crowd noise for Live at The Hollywood Bowl by The Beatles.

We can also add the Royal Albert Hall dvd/bluray project
which Guy Fletcher said was cancelled because RAH fees were too high :disbelief :disbelief
It's unbelievable stuff really

And yet the Ukulele Orchestra of GB filmed their prom at the RAH and released a DVD?
They are fantastic musicians, don’t get me wrong but they are NOT in MK’s league budget wise

I wonder who paid for the BBC session that was ditched?

It was recorded for the Jools Holland show, at least it was recorded in his program stage.

Aren’t they just?
I so badly want this project but I can’t see it happening. I wonder if MK asked him to make it or paid for it to be made? Waste of his money if so.
But as well, compared to how many people in the UK own BIA as an album for example, the take up or interest of this project would be relatively small.

Small clips of it were used in the video for Good On You Son and perhaps the press kit too. They may even use more of it on future projects so perhaps they see it as money well spent, who knows...
