Bob Dylan & Mark Knopfler Tour 2011

[schmonka]

To call an established artised a warm-up act is just ludicrous, inpolite and simply not done!  Therefore don't expect to see it anywhere official.

As for the time MK will have on stage, I believe BD has too much respect for MK (and vice versa) so MK will have more time than this and I'm sure they will share the stage too.  Strangely I seem to be the only one here looking forward to it the nearer it comes.

Please don't think those are my views - i would never call MK a warm up act - but its just the way the tour looks.....its BD tour - MK is just tagging along.....there are no plans for the duo to play with each other.....simply do their own thing....its very much an us and them thing....and hearing what the lovely chaps on the BD forum have to say....well less said the better!

Oh no, of course I didn't think those were you're views.  I had assumed these had been read somewhere else - probably on a BD forum.  BTW I have never visited a BD forum and never intend to either;  they are entitled to their opinion, we to ours.  It seems some of them are not polite in voicing their views from what I've read here, but it doesn't mean we should lower ourselves to criticising them for it.

As I mentioned before, Leon Russell is just playing the opening act for Bob Dylan...

Take a look at the poster for the tour, maybe it rings the bell



Does it looks like the Mark Knopfler tour poster?

JBaent, I would not give too much on posters - the same posters that said "plays all the Dire Straits world famous hits Money For Nothing, Walk of Life and bla bla bla." Secondly, Mark is much better looking than this Russell guy and therefore earns some more stage time for sure! :-)

Mark is a much bigger act, I would never assume that he is asked to do some kind of "opening act". Of course Bob is top act, but nevertheless Mark is bigger in Europe for sure, so I am sure it will be one hour playtime at least!

Just a hunch, but I reckon this is the time
To resurrect TOL!!

If he resurrects anything, TOL is probably least likely

mk plays 70, bd 90.

mk plays 70, bd 90.

Plus 30 for changeover = 190     Ten mins too long!

Plus 30 for changeover = 190     Ten mins too long!   

Let's do MK 70 + BD 80 !
Much easier to tape. 
And you'd save your 10 mins
