all MarkKnopfler.com pre-order customers will receive a complimentary future live recording from the forthcoming tour. More information on that and how our customers can take advantage of this very special offer will be provided in the coming weeks.
They are talking in singular... "recording", like they are going to offer just one to everybody.

If he is in the band as a percussionist and not replacing IanTo as drummer, that would be something very interesting, indeed!!

Is presale even a good thing? Last tour I got tickets in presale through MK.com for Amsterdam, I was placed in row 20, while others in regular sale were placed in rows in front of me. Tour before that I got tickets in row 6 in regular sale while presale ticket holders were behind me in row 15.in general we were always better of with the MK.com tickets, the one or the other exception can be excepted.

Presale is very tricky thing...
MK.com has reservation for, lets say, the first 20 rows in a venue. So the fact that you buy the tickets in MK.com doesn't means you have tickets in the better row, in row 1, for example. It depends in many factors, like how fast are you buying, for example.
Apart of this, sometimes the venues has agreements with other sellers or sponsors, like vodafone, amex etc, and the venue reserve the better rows (let´s say from 1 to 10) to that sponsors, some others (10-20 rows) to MK.com and the rest in general sale...
Or, some venues reserve just rows 10-20 to MK.com and the rest in general...
Every venue has its agreements with MK.com and other retailers and sometimes is difficult to know what to do. For example, 2013 tour, there were four presales for RAH at the same time, MK.com, ticketmaster, ticketline and RAH site, and each one had their owns seats reserved. I wanted seats at the stalls and it was difficult to find which of the four had that tickets!

Do you think John McCusker and Mike McGoldrick will be part of the touring band ?
No. The problem with OES tour was that it was all too big, including the huge band and not just the entourage. I think with Nigel now installed and Danny rejoining, Mark will not want such a big band again.

I don't think so either. I'm very fond of the folkies, but we are in dire need of a change this time and a whole new set list! :)

Do we know if the folkies were involved in the recoding of the album this time around? I remember they were busy with Celtic Connections and some other stuff during a lot of the studio time. If not it would make sense for a change and bodes well for a set list revision.
Yes, they are amongst the musicians named on the album.

You can't have 3 backing singers for just a couple of songs, for that you have to reinvent the whole set and arrangements.

Hope is not believing but that is a start.
Regarding the backing singer, the band is already doing backing so not a revolution but an evolution.

The 2006 tour didn't have Mike and John in the band - it was Stuart Duncan. In 2008 it was only John - Mike joined him in 2010.

I don't make it a question of person but a matter of style.
IMHO 2010 would have been better without folkies and was really the start of the Mark Knopfler's Comfort Zone Touring Band.

Songs with trompet / sax.
Quickly out of my head with looking at all the titles of the tracks from DS and MK :
DS
Your latest trick (intro trompet/rest sax)
On every street (suprano sax + Percussion)
My parties (sax + percussion)
Planet of New Orleans (sax)
Solid Rock live (On the Night) 8)
Private Investigation live (On the Night)
Ride Across the River (Sax + Trompet)
Portobelle belle (Sax)
Two Young Lovers (Sax)
Solo
El Macho (Flugelhorn/Bugle)
The Last Laugh (trompet and sax?)
One More Matinee (Flugelhorn/Bugle)
Coyote (trompet)
In the sky (sax)
Radio City Serenade (Trompet)
Dream Of the Drowned Submariner (not a sax or trompet, its a Clarinet but I put it on this list)
River Towns (Sax)
Wherever I Go (Sax + trompet)
Good on you son (sax)
Going Home (sax)
Metroland (intro trompet)
If this is Goodbye (Trompet)
Behind With the Rent (Trompet)
About percussion, then I have to start listening again :P.
The first ones comes to mind is ofcourse Calling Elvis, Water of Love, Punish the Monkey or Summer of Love.
But to have both (sax/trompet and percussion) I think I only know the 2 I've written in the list :think
So correct me if I'm wrong or if I forgot something ;) :think

Don't forget, that this "horn section" can also act in a sort of "backing singers" mode, so you can throw basically any song with many voices in.
For shure true! But atleast they have to play a few songs where the trompet and the sax are kind of importent. Otherwise it doesn’t make sence to get a trompetist and a sax player right? :think. With only Nigel they also played some more “sax” (Your latest trick, On every Street (sopransax)) songs or intros. But ofcourse I could be wrong ;)
Cool to have the live recordings again! 8)
But that does probably also mean that we can kind of forget an official live release (Dvd, Blu-ray or cd).
Ah well atleast a lot of live recordings ;D

For shure true! But atleast they have to play a few songs where the trompet and the sax are kind of importent. Otherwise it doesn’t make sence to get a trompetist and a sax player right? :think. With only Nigel they also played some more “sax” (Your latest trick, On every Street (sopransax)) songs or intros. But ofcourse I could be wrong ;)
Cool to have the live recordings again! 8)
But that does probably also mean that we can kind of forget an official live release (Dvd, Blu-ray or cd).
Ah well atleast a lot of live recordings ;D
That could also be the case ;D.
Maybe now we also get 4/5 minute trompet solos :lol

Just going back to the live recordings and a question of Guy's forum asked by someone remarking that their quality has become worse since 2010. Guy answered with this reassuring reply that bodes well for the forthcoming recordings::thumbsup
"Most of that is out of my hands but yes, the last tour the live mixes weren't great. This tour will be different."
now it's official i would not hesitate but agree on that one.

I asked the same thing but he didn’t want to answer lol, anyway, I think that it becomes obvious and I’m pretty sure we’ll have a great mixing for the coming tour.

I wonder how much it would take the tour to be announced... first dates for Tracker tour were announced on September 16th 2014, Privateering ones on August 27th 2012...
My bet would be around the same time the album will be out. :think

I would've guessed just after the release too, however looking at these dates from Jbaent it appears the previous tours were announced before the album release. I suppose they can release the dates well before tickets actually going on sale mind you.

To be honest, the way MK or his management does this is very rare...

Post by: jbaent on September 28, 2018, 09:09:06 AM
Maybe MK doesn't sell as much as we think and he has a cache. Some promoters would have to work real hard to get concerts closed and that's why dates would be announced in different batches, because it might be complicate to close deals with promoters and cities...I really do hope this time they will announce all the dates at the same day!!

Somehow i found that hard to believe, the part that promoters have to work hard to get concerts closed. I believe MK can be booked in every main city in Europe with a venue up to 15.000 people. Put it on sale 6 months before tour starts, use internet and tv spots in some countries to promote the concert and in the end it will be close to or be sold out...Maybe MK doesn't sell as much as we think and he has a cache.

MK sales are very good in some countries and just decent in others. Local promoters usually before to hire a MK concert use to see the figures of the last concerts of MK in similar venues from previous tours to think if it worths in economical terms. Sometimes the promoters see that what PCM ask is higher that what they would do with selling tickets so they search for sponsors to help with the economic part. That search of money is what takes time and what makes it costs more time to close the deals.
MK sells better in some countries than in others. For example, in Spain MK used to play in the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, with a capacity of 17.000 people. They used to place the stage in the middle of the arena leaving half venue empty behind, so the capacity is reduced to about 8.000 or even less as long as they put chairs in the arena, 8.000 would be for standing arena, with chairs that capacity is again reduced and even that, the venue is not sold out. You have a clear example of numbers here. An MK concert costs the same to promoters if you have a venue of 7.000 people than a venue for 15.000, so the promoter makes less money, and sometimes there is a big risk of losing money.
Avoiding that chance of losing money is what takes times, sometimes a lot.
Last tours, MK in Barcelona played at the Poble Espanyol square, with an standing capacity of 5.000 and it didn't sold out either... that concert is usually one of the last from the Spanish batch to be announced, because it's not easy with that number of people attending to cover what the concert costs, and you have to close many deals to make sure you don't loose money with it.

With more musicians involved in the show, the cache should rise. Maybe higer prices of the tickets?
That's one of the things local promoters could do to not loose or win money with the concert, put higher prices... but higher prices would mean less sales as well, MK is not Dire Straits.

I would pay more if they had two fewer in the band! Guess who. Go on! ;D
Prices have gone up every tour though and with a larger band it is a certainty they will increase this time.
I was just hoping for small venues, small tour à la Golden Heart but I can't see it as I don't think it would be economically viable. :-\

Not with this band... maybe if Glenn, Jim and Richard leaves their spots and Robbie, Marcus and other keyboard player joins, the costs will be very reduced... I'm sure that the Americans are very expensive musicians to have them on tour, as they are very demanded sessions players that will loose many sessions while on tour.

You have to fill a big venue to make money. Usually big venues are more expensive.
Probably with people that went one night to the O2 MK would had filled the RAH three times so they save two dates but bigger venues can't be used always, think about the Palau Sant Jordi from Barcelona example I put before. It has a 17.000 capacity, but MK will only sell between 5.000 to 7.000 tickets there so, why you want a big venue that would be more than half empty?
Nonsense.

Then something else, only one concert in a bigger venue also means only one night for hotels and all that stuff that comes with being on tour. Does MK has something to say in this??

The virgin site offers presale to UK and Ireland. I imagine others shops would offer the same in other countries.
The presale codes doesn't need to wait to the release, as long as you pre-order and pay, they could send the presale code by mail so they can do it tomorrow if they want.

tour dates are usually announced with the date that the tickets would be available in presale and/or general sale.
For example, tour dates can be announced today telling that presale will start in two weeks and general sale on three weeks.
Actually, thats the way it's done. Maybe there is no two weeks between the announcement and the presale, but I had seen it many times.
They can even announce the tour dates telling that presale and general sales date will be announces shortly. That happened already as well.

mark always seems to pull it out the bag, after 2010 I was a bit down with his playing (even though did like the set list, apart from Romeo and so far away (and it wasn't that bad)
, but 2011 thought he stepped back up at the gigs I saw ,
and 2013 thought he was solid throughout the tour and played smoothly ,
2015 thought he did ok but usa section he played better the the Europe section
, but wasn't as smooth playing as were used too,(but age guys) ,but still was a good standard especially on Sultans at Boston and Austin good examples of that,
and 2016 he surprised us all in with playtime deluxe,
so moaners out there don't discourage just yet , new tour may be his last , I think of Clapton who I follow a little bit, 2013 playing I got abit disappointed with but 2015 thought he was back too it ,

I do not expect any tourdates to be announced before the releasedate because off the presale codes that runs untill 16 nov..Last monday I wrote a post wondering if we would see a videoclip soon and some hours later, the video was uploaded, so I-m gonna try it again ;D
I wonder if today we will have any kind of announcement about the tour...
Based on something? Or totally wild guess?
The presale codes can be sent by e-mail to those who pre-ordered without having to wait to the release date...
The action for presalecodes runs untill nov 16. So even if i order the album at nov 15 i will get a presale code. Therefore i assume tickets will not be on sale any sooner. Afgreed? And what’s the point in releasing the dates 4/5 weeks before you can actually buy tickets ???
tour dates are usually announced with the date that the tickets would be available in presale and/or general sale.
For example, tour dates can be announced today telling that presale will start in two weeks and general sale on three weeks.
Actually, thats the way it's done. Maybe there is no two weeks between the announcement and the presale, but I had seen it many times.
They can even announce the tour dates telling that presale and general sales date will be announces shortly. That happened already as well.
You will not get a presale code if you cancel or send the album retour after release..
So tickets on sale after the releasedate and i hope for dates announcement somewhere in the first week of november...

BUT, not all the dates that day. They are doing the same again, some of them will be announced later on.

Probably first the O2 and 8 weeks later the RAH.............

If the rumor is true could this mean ticketsales will start later in the UK and Benelux. :think

Or they will send the codes by e-mail before.
I won't worry too much as MK.com said they will handle presales as usual, but if I was any of you, I would mail virgin and bol and ask them about the precodes, as you had heard that presales will start late october.

I believe that presale code customers as well as other marketing partners have a different reserved contigent of tickets, so it doesn't matter if mk.com presales start at at different times than other presales, because they don't fight over exactly the same seats.Lets hope mk.com offers the best seats...

To get access to the presales on mk.com, we must buy the album at mk.com ?
No, you just need to register as a member.

Please note that this is how is scheduled theorically...
I mean, that it might be changed as far as some dates that might be announced are not 100% closed and that might delay the dates announcement.
Tour dates are scheduled to be announced later this month as stated before, and I truly hope it happens this way, but it might be delayed until early November.

To bad they will roll out like the last tours so the schedule will be complete in 6 weeks.
Strange time also to release dates, on a friday evening......

Roughly 3 months across Europe. Isn't that pretty long?
Not if they have enough breaks between dates......
Perhaps now that dates roll out it is best to start a new thread or do we keep it with this one :think

Good news for me - The First Direct Arena, Leeds! :clap Perhaps I will see you there jbaent! :)
I might go to Leeds. Fancy something a bit different this time.
The O2 is a shocker of a decision.

It would be great to see you there too, dmg! :) We won't be going to the O2 either, most probably Leeds, Manchester and, possibly, the RAH if the dates are OK to fit in with holidays.
