My prejudices have battled to the front of my psyche. I'm definately in the camp that thinks that this band is abusing an old relationship and hoodwinking the general public. Sorry.

Is there a strange smell in the room?? :disbelief (its horse sh*t in case anyone wonders!)

Removed image due to the frailties of some members who dont seem to acknowledge the whole stench of foul play with this "tour" and band "rebirth"

From the Swiss website:

A touch of Dire Straits at the Summer Sound!
With more than 120 million albums sold among the British rock band Dire Straits most successful artists of all time. The three ORIGINAL MEMBERS Alan Clark, Phil Palmer, and Chris White together with four other high-profile musicians, the band The Straits. Together they perform the opening act of Anastacia for the first time in 20 years, the greatest hits of Dire Straits. An experience which you must not miss!


"The three original members, Alan Clark, Phil Palmer and Chris White" ?? -     What about Mark, John, David and Pick, weren't they the original members?

Of course, it was a google translation, but even so, "originalmitglieder" means "original member".    :)

So this is where all those hits evolved, into an opening act!! Whaaat... I wonder what MK thinks about this... someone's opening act...  wth...

I feel the video below is quite emblematic of this very discussion. Just as interesting, I might add.
