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:
LE
-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.

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 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.

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.

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...

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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 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. :)

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.

Post by: mschaap on July 09, 2017, 12:53:56 AM
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.

Does anyone have a complete list of the shows that were filmed by Hansen?

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. :)

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:

Can we read into it that those plans have been abandoned?
Post by: Jules on January 10, 2018, 12:59:19 PM
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.

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

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.

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...

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?

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.
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...

- 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

Boston had the best version of Sultans from the entire tour as I recall. There is/was a YT video uploaded at the time but the quality was only so-so.

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

Perhaps looking at footage from the last tour is what is making Mark say he's "decrepit" now when trying to promote his forthcoming tour. :think

It would be a package Madrid 2001+shepherds Bush 2002+BBC 2013+world tour 2015.
All in a very deluxe box simulating a safety box with a wheel to introduce the combination that will be downloaded with a special card download that will have not all the numbers needed so we have to complain.

A Tracker live album...
His worst tour ever and he decides it's time to release live performances? Just resurrect the Madrid 2001 project! ::)

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.

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!

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...

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.

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. ::)
Indeed, we may never see this film....

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.

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.

"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.
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.

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

Im 100% with you on this and fingers crossed for the release but things can change, unfortunately....

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

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.

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

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

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

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 think his choice of amp on tours is more down to sponsorship than anything else tbh.Ah, the advert in the 1996 tour programme...

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...

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 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

Sometimes its 'Better the devil you know' when it comes to official releases...like you say OTN and ANIL were disappointing but I do enjoy Real Live Roadrunning as it is an MK on form!!
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
A night in London is soooooo bland and clearly a tired MK, in fact we saw him a few nights later!

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

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..

That shirt though, probably XXXXL ;D. I wonder if no one really says something to him in time when it is so obviously unfitting...

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....

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!

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.

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.

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/ )

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
UO of GB are just fabulous!
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...

I'd suggest they also film the recording of all the subsequent MK's albums, also can wait for when he passes away and cover that in the film as well. Then, you can also wait a little bit and add a section about his legacy, and also don't forget about DS 50 and 60 anniversary in 2028 and 2038, also to include Mark's 100th birthday in 2049 would be a great touch. Can't wait for the film! :lol
Yes, it's that ridicoulos...
When it was first filmed, it made sense, as it pretended to be an extension of the short Tracker documentary, they filmed some live shows from Tracker tour, I think Copenhagen, Barcelona and some from the US, and that would had made a great one, then they also filmed the History festival, and apparently the Local Hero musical recordings, the recordings of the DTRW record (both according to the images saw at the "Good on you son" video) and that would had been great to release during the DTRW tour, as the musical was already played in Edinburgh and DTRW was already out, but no, it wasn't... maybe they were waiting to the LH musical cd to be released, but as the London representations were cancelled, also the cd.
Now if it's released it would cover more and more so more stuff would had to be left out.
I don't think they are going to release this documentary until the musical is released in London theatres, because the filming also covered this, but who knows.

The word "done" could have a few different meanings. It could mean completed, settled or no longer happening.

Well I suppose you should have a go at me as I reported the project in the first place fully imagining it would be out now. It’s clearly not the case as there are plans for it which I am not aware of suffice to say I have been asked not to comment on it. Bit late for that I guess. My openness to your questions sometimes causes frustration.

As a native English speaker, Guy's reply seems perfectly correct. Henrik Hansen didn't do the filming, but they (the band ?) did do some filming.

I sometimes find difficulties with combination of DO as it's an auxiliary and also a verb itself. I never got the "no can do" thing either, the combination of can and do, specially can instead of can't... Languages are something curious and strange for foreigners, lol

Didn't Guy come out and say they couldn't use the audio because the Spanish fans kept singing ole ole ole?! Or it was too windy or something?!
Guy said that the audience mics saturation was too heavy and the audience were through all the mics, so they recorded the audio in Bilbao, Newcastle and Glasgow to use it when needed to patch the Madrid dvd. It was also windy, not too much really, but you only need to see the videos to notice it.
https://youtu.be/l-JDs6kqpNY
I think they just lost interest as patching the audio won't had been that difficult, or maybe MK didn't like the look of him with his hair moving all the time in that way.

A Tracker live album is under consideration but not confirmed. (30/06/17)This project has been on and off since the Tracker tour. If there is nothing about this with the new album then it's really off i think.

Not necessarily, they recorded scenes of MK and his band recording things for the Local Hero Musical, if they plan to include that in the documentary, they would have to wait until it's represented in London...

With MK career probably ended (I don't think we're having any more new music from him, hopefully I'm wrong) it's appropriate than the documentary is finished and ready to be released.

What makes you think he won't do at least one more album?Hi all, my very first post here.. but noticed some interesting changes to Henrik Hansen's website (personal and his rsa films site)..
It's now set to release for early 2025 and it's even mentioning a title "One Song at A Time" !
Looks like it's going to be released finally?! or not.. ;)
With MK career probably ended (I don't think we're having any more new music from him, hopefully I'm wrong) it's appropriate than the documentary is finished and ready to be released.

1. He stopped touring to be more time at home writing songs. The last MK album was finished one year ago (despite being released early next year) and besides some promo stuff, he's been at home since then and he has no plans to start recording for next year, according to Guy.
2. That's the official excuse for no touring but we all know that it's only the official excuse.
3. Even we take the official excuse, when touring, after the last concert, it never took one whole year to start recording at least demos. Yes, sometimes he spent two years to complete recordings, but those were already started as Guy and MK demos.

The ODR album was released in mid-April 2024, so he couldn't possibly work an a new album until then. Only 8 months have passed and he's even slower now at 75 than he was at 64. Give him some time to write and develop what he already has.What makes you think he won't do at least one more album?Hi all, my very first post here.. but noticed some interesting changes to Henrik Hansen's website (personal and his rsa films site)..

If a year from today we get no new developments, then I might start to think he won't ever release something new. ODR might well end up being his last album, but as long as he can still walk and hold a guitar, he will be putting out new stuff, I think.

The record was released this year, yes, but it was finished the fall of the year before, so he had time since then for doing a lot of writing only stopping a bit for promotion just around the corner of his house.

I have no doubt Mark will release another album, he said in interviews about some of the songs on ODR being slow, and the next album should have more uptemo ones.
It reminds me a JJ Cale song

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.

And makes sense, as long as MK has retired from touring, they have filmed by Hansen several concerts from the 2015 tour and I don't know if they have anything filmed by him but we know they bought the O2 arena tapes from the screens so maybe they can do a kind of "end of touring" kind of documentary and switch to just a recording artist.
I hope this documentary could reach at least some cinemas at least in the UK and also have a special screening with the typical from 2024 interviews to MK by Paul Sexton, which are sadly our only chance to see MK "live" nowadays, and it could be also our onlychance to have our typical meeting betwen fans around MK related things.
Post by: rmarques821 on December 10, 2024, 10:14:01 AM
It's great that the Hansen documentary has a title, for me it means that now it's going to happen.I am curious to see whether they also include footage from older tours (we know they filmed concerts like Madrid 2001, Lisbon 2010, etc.) But I will not get my hopes up with this.

If you say so! But let’s be optimistic. I going to say it’ll be in the region of two hours, looking at Mark’s whole cycle from writing, to recording to touring and then back again. If the five minute Tracker film is anything to go by, which I thought was beautifully filmed, it should be top quality.

Can't really see a bidding war between Netflix and Amazon for an MK documentary to be honest.
Perhaps not, but unfortunately streaming is probably the most cost-effective way for studios to release things now. Not all streamed features are necessarily big time, blockbuster productions. So I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it ends up on a streaming service somewhere.

The fact that it has a title gives a little room for optimism. On a less optimistic note however, I’ve just happened upon an older version of the RSA website where it says the film is due for release in early 2023. This film must have been due for release every year for the last six years or more! Let’s hope it finally comes to fruition in 2025.

I think that the recorded shows you can see in this clip are the ones that would feauture in the documentary and if there is any cd release.

And I agree with Dmg; I fear that the extras are exactly like this; the same things over and over again. It might be the last thing we get from him, so I guess I should stop complaining that it takes time :-\

We are now one week away from February and still not a word, not suprisingly. I also interpret "early" as Jan-March, but who can tell...Seriously, what is their issue? Why are things more or less always "in the blue", filled with uncertainty? Is the whole business like this? "Team MK" are not dependent on ticket sales, the weather, or money from the goverment (I wasn' joking when I wrote the weather, having worked in garden centers I know it is important).

I've been told that the plan, being the plan the key word, is to release the documentary accompanied by a cd release of live recordings that are featured in the film, specially mixed by Guy for the occasion, and the plan, again being the plan the key word, is that it would be released this year, being the MK related thing that we would see in 2025, although there are also plans for other things that might happen or not, but it seems that finally it's time for the documentary.
The word PLAN was very very repeated as anything can change.
Interesting. Where does this information come from exactly?

I recall someone already said that Issy used to post a lot of pictures with a boyfriend, who is an actor, and then one day all that pictures disappeared and that boyfriend was never seen again on Issy's Instagram, and the wrong un might be that boyfriend and the song might be for his daughter telling her he wasn't the right for her.

Knopfler’s daughter and her boyfriend.
As an actress she is a public figure and people are discussing stuff she has posted publicly on social media, along with speculating who MK is writing about in one of his songs.
Post by: ds1984 on February 15, 2025, 10:49:00 AM
Regarding Issy I had a very brief interest in her social media at a time she briefly spoke about her wish Mark perform at Glasto.
She is (was?) a big fan of the fest.
But this was to little for me and I wasn't confortable following her insta life. Issy as Issy is just not of interest for me.
I reckon that there is a sort of duality between my wish to respect private life and my wish to know the real story of Mr Knopfler music.
I like the idea that the deal between an artist and the public starts at the entry of the venue including the greeting at the back door :wave and ends at the exit of the same venue.

Yes but it 's a good read and it grew organically. It came from the news of the Hansen documentary being overdue, bashing his management and wonder about MK stop playing live, went to his play till I fall over quote to the goodbye speech in Barcelona which raised the question if he is a grand dad and ended by Pottel gossiping about a guy with red hair being the ex lover of MK's daughter. So all in all, typical AMIT style I would say.
LE
Chris, re-login with your proper account, please! :lol
Jokes aside, I'm not sure it's gossip at all. Isabella never asked to stop discussing her posts and is willing to share her life with the world. People with eyes noticed she had a new boyfriend (tho it's hard to notice because he's nearly identical, LOL). So the consequence here, I guess, is somebody can discuss it with somebody.
Gossip/stalking/harassment and other strong words are something that hurts. Our little jokes on a forum wouldn't hurt a fly, let alone a badass daughter who herself would probably laugh about Pottel's and rmarques821's takes, or kick them in the nuts if that would be offensive. Laughter saves the day!
Post by: ds1984 on February 16, 2025, 11:46:53 AM
Of course if Mark had made public reference to Issy that would be different.
Still discussing Issy's private life based on the unproven assumption that Mark wrote a song about her is very weak tiny link.

It's totally up to you or anyone to try to get information from the official sources, but the chances to get any information that it's not approved to be given are small. What's sarcastic here?
It is a mystery everything regarding this documentary, but this time seems there is something going on, Guy said he was working on MK live recordings, that could be easily for the documentary, and he also answered in his forum he can't speak details about it, same than Terry.

I think MK has the plans to do another record, but they haven't started yet, so Guy doesn't know at this point. So if it's true, it's probably gonna take a long time (years) before there is a new album out.
Or maybe Guy isn't involved this time.

But if Mark was actually thinking about recording an acoustic album, Guy would probably be involved too.

Guy has answered questions about potential new albums in a similar manner in years gone by. Until work has actually begun on the record in earnest, I doubt Guy will be able to say much about it. But he has said that ‘there are always songs’, so he is probably aware that a new recording project with Mark will almost inevitably come along at some point. It’s just a question of when. I find it highly improbable that Mark would record a new album without Guy’s involvement.
I think it’s also worth pointing out that the long gap between Down the Road Wherever and One Deep River was not something Mark would have anticipated. He intended to go into the studio at sometime around Spring 2020. Then the lockdowns happened, so the work was delayed, and then it was further elongated by more lockdowns / social distancing. And then there was more work to do on the Local Hero project when it was staged at Chichester. So I feel that any potential new MK album would hopefully not take so long this time around.
With regards to the documentary, I am extremely keen to see this given the quality of the five minute film we’ve already seen from the Tracker era, and especially as some of it was filmed down here in my neck of the woods in the New Forest!

I actually meant dare I broach the subject of the documentary with Guy…..not a new album.
Why not? Just do it! Just see how it goes and how the vibes are during the event. Good luck! :wave

I still think that ODR is MK's last album. However, if there was a next and last album, I think that will ne a blockbuster. Full of Rock Songs and synthetizers.
Mark said in a french itw that a "new album was in progress" I guess he meant he wrote new songs for now

Q : do you have an album in progress ?
A : yes, it will be here, I promise. There's nothing I love more than writing a song

I have given up waiting for this documentary!! We keep being told release dates that never come to fruition, early 2025 was the latest, that has now been and gone.
Information from "inside" says the documentary would be released this year, but we are very used that plans could change.

I know there are always delays in documentaries or feature films, but this is really dragging on!! Really, how much can there be to talk about from Mark's career, it's not like The Beatles Anthology. It must be interviews with Dire Straits members, solo band members, famous fans, collecting photos and film to show, why is it taking so long? It's not like Henrik Hansen is a big name constantly in demand. It's been over 7 years now :hmm
I bet there isn't half of that.
There will be talking head quotes from Richard, Guy, Glenn, that will probably be it.

But we'll probably end up with a blown-up radio, smelling the catalogs, and asking for a pen and paper to write MFN lyrics behind the desk ;D
