THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pipertotheend]

Thank you! I am fairly certain Spanish City will allow it as an upgrade - concerns have already been voiced about the quality of the current version, your direct stream will be the best available.

I've signed up there, but I'm still waiting for admin approval on my account before I can upload anything.

As a bonus, I'll include Money For Nothing from the Jools show (the only song broadcast that isn't on the Night in London DVD).

Total size is around 1.75 GB.

The version at the knopflertk tracker is a bit grainy, its a pitty to have a dvd like this 

I hope a better version in dvd quality would see the internet light of day.

The divx version mentioned before has very nice quality.

About laknopfler-tk tracker, looks like its down right now, we hope that it will be up again soon.

Any news about the tracker? If it's not back up soon, I'll find somewhere else to upload the DVD. I'm thinking of either Demonoid or thepiratebay.org. Probably the latter, as it doesn't require membership to download. Any thoughts?

By the way, great news about the ratings. Perhaps BBC4 will take the hint and start broadcasting more MK (hopefully starting with a show from the last tour...the footage in the documentary was tantalising and looked superb).

Very strange about the tracker.

Demonoid is good but as you say, you need an invite, so pirate bay might be better, but I expect the tracker will be back up soon one way or another.

And yes, the ratings are hopefully a wake up call for all at the BBC MK is still relevant!

Mark Knopfler. Remember him? The nice guy from Tyneside who fronted the band that never earned the same sex appeal of its eye-liner wearing, new romantic counterparts, but still managed to become one of the biggest stadium-fillers of the 1980s?


Dire Straits sold more than 120 million albums, yet few of us admitted to owning one even back then, and no one since has stopped to ask what came of its four band members. Did they burn out, fade out, die out?

This, the latest show in the Legends series, asked that question and we discovered that Knopfler broke up the band not because of their waning popularity, but the opposite. They got bigger and bigger, said Knopfler, until he just didn't want to play any more. What he loved was the "circus" camaraderie of the tours, which could not be sustained by the "big events" they became.

Knopfler appears now, at 61, an unchanged man, musically speaking, still obsessed with his Fender Stratocaster and still going strong as a solo artist, but he is so physically transformed that he can walk the streets without being recognised. The Bjorn Borg headband and sleeveless T-shirts have long gone and his scraggy shoulder-length hair is reduced to white head-stubble. We saw him lost in the crowds of a Lisbon caf

As far as I know Demonoid does not require membership to download but only to upload or post on it.
