Bob Dylan & Mark Knopfler Tour 2011

[goldenheart96]

Yes, Dylan fans are weird... Not all of them of course but I had to work at a Dylan convention once and those were the rudest, strangest idiots I have ever met. A friend of mine is a huge Dylan fan and even he says I'm right...

Anyway, 120 Euro is a lot of money... I'd be willing to spend it on MK alone but with Dylan... That means I'll pay 60 Euro to get the worst migraine of my life  
Was thinking of doing two shows, Berlin is on a Saturday, but now I'm not so sure anymore.
Ha but I'm looking forward to writing my review of the Mannheim show. Who knows, maybe I'll be positively surprised and you will all laugh at me

And Bob Dylan site its not offering his usual presale (nor mentioning Mark Knopfler is playing with him):

Assuming that they didn't forget MK by mistake: What a bunch of ignorant ......

Someone (a Moderator) did say that the BD website is a very sloppy one, when mentioning the omission of MK!

According to the Glasgow venue, the concert will run for 3 hours, so that is much better than previously thought!

Ah, ok! Thanks.

I am not a concert T-shirt guy, but hey, with these Dylan blokes around, I WANT to show that I am there for MK! I want an AMIT Shirt! Is there one possibly availabe?
I am not good at these things, I mean creating an own motive and stuff (it has to signal MARK KNOPFLER IS THE GREATEST ARTIST IN THE WORLD WHO THE F..K  IS
EXPECTING RAIN! IT NEVER RAINS! LOVE EXPRESSO)

Or something like that...

One can get childish  , but these guys are really a pain in the neck for me. But on the other side, they might only be a few of them.... Not every forum cummunity can be so great at this AMIT one!

3h show would be great. Even if Bob would have a bad day, I probably would not have any problem to go early and leave the venue when I am filled with 70 or 80 minutes of MK music...

[superval99]

Just one thing, though, LE - I'm sure there will be an interval of, say, 15 mins between sets, won't there?   Maybe too a bit of a break, if they come together at the end?

[superval99]

LE, About the T-shirt!   The AMIT banner at the top of the page could be OK and it's not copyright!  We would need Nelly's permission, of course!   

[Love Expresso]

Yeah, I wanted to write "90 minutes of Mark", but I hope 70 or 80 at least? Would be 10, 15 Minutes break and Bob as, we have to say it directly, headliner, has full 90 minutes - included maybe a visit from Mark for the last two or three songs - I hope unplugged, acoustic, just the two of them, doing Blind Willie or whatever...

[ingridswing]

3 hours  show sounds good, but there will be a break to change the gear and that will take 1/2 hour at least I think  

[Fieneke2]

You are right LE, I read those stupid things too over there...

And some of them are going to Rotterdam
If they are standing next to me, I think i'm gonna fart as hell

OMG Dutchessy, you made me Laugh Out Loud! It's so funny! ........BUT just like the MK fans, I think almost all of the BD fans are very nice people as well!

I have a few comments!

About the prices of the tickets: I also think the prices of tickets are too expensive especial because we go with 2 persons! It might not be too high when you are a fan of both artists, then you sure might have the evening of your life, but being a fan of Mark and the guys only, I am not willing to pay about Euro 180,00 till about Euro 220,00 for 1

[Fieneke2]

Dylan fans ? I've been once to a Dylan show and there actually was a couple of strange idiots. Drunk people a bit too noisy. Just a coincidence, funny story.  
I have the same concerns about Berlin. It was my first option as a second show but I don't like the prices.

Only 3 ? That's strange !  I guess he is trying to get used to MK's standards.
Usually he changes up to 10 or 12 songs every night !

Hmmmm.
EUR 119 for the best tix in Oberhausen and 90 mns of Bob?
Too much I think. For Mark alone. Yeap.

I will buy the best cheap tickets. They are good enough and near the beer stand. When Bob enters I can get me some. So I won't disturb his his set and the lovely fans.
