I think there are cases where some tickets are reserved to various types of presales. I read in the BD forum that there is someone doing a presale for BD fans that looks very exclusive, as they order the tickets to him...

Found this on the ER forum.   I don't think they know on that forum about John's involvement with MK and the band!

EDIT:   This has now been amended and doesn't mention John as being "support"!

Mark supporting Bob, John supporting Mark, Mike supporting John, Phil supporing Mike, etc.... = endless show. What the hell?  ;D
A security guard said it was total foolishness on our part to attend the show in the rain. We laughed and said we were indeed the most foolish folks in the world. --Tee, JTO

Well, as someone who is more of a Dylan fan than a Knopfler fan, I was certainly aware that John McCusker was a member of MK's recent touring band.

This Summer Bobs shows were shorter we still had the same amount if
songs and vibe, but the sets were quite short.

You must always place Bobs sets at 90 M as is how it's always been
even though now days 85 M is quite rare.
 
Mark is sure to get at least 70 M.

Yet something about the upcoming tour seems different. Perhaps both artists
will surprise us with something we would not expect.

I just read this:


The Desolation Row Information Service has listed two additional rumored shows for Bob Dylan's European fall tour.

The tour is currently scheduled to resume on October 6th at Dublin's 02 Arena. On July 19, Bob Dylan's official tour page temporarily added an earlier show at the venue on the 5th, but it was removed the following day. This is still listed as a potential show for the tour.

The DRIS also reports that Dylan may play Dublin's Vicar Street on the 4th.

However, nothing is confirmed until it is listed on Dylan's official tour page.

A UK tour without visiting London would be a non sens so there will be some extra dates scheduled

I am not sure. I could think that London (if anything) is the absolute MK stronghold, and maybe even MK suggested not to go there - because it is the Bob Dylan tour after all. It would not be so great for Bob to play the Albert Hall and have 5000 regular MK fans in front of his nose. So maybe they will indeed drop London this time. However I am not sure about the usual concerts BD gives. Is he a regular in London, referring to his last tour schedules?
I found a Dylan concert in the London 02 arena back in 2009 but no show there in 2010?

Dylan played at the roundhouse in London (Camden) but cant remember if was after or before the o2 arena show.

By the way, the o2 in London looks like a  B I G  venue for Dylan...

I do think that they will play several dates in London, but looking at the schedule, I guess it wont be until mid-november, after the last dy scheduled, as both venues and artists have previous commitments... Anyway, I dont mind as London is not in my radar for this tour, this tour I

I would guess for a one nite only show in London in a Wembley Arena sort of.

And the fact that the audience can be filled by MK fans is the last thing that BD would care about. And I do think that there are actauly a lot of BD fans in London area and even more than MK's.

Bobby is a legend  ;D

I am confident that the BD/MK tour will play London and, in my view, more than one show. They're both big there. I can't imagine a European tour by Dylan without a show or shows in London.  It's unthinkable!

Anyway, on past form, it's not just the fans in London who will go. Dylan fans will travel from all over the place to catch him in London. MK fans, too, I guess. I've certainly met MK fans from Europe and North America at his London shows and, for Dylan, from those continents and from as far afield as Australia, too.

At present, I'm down for the Bournemouth show but, if Dylan does two or three shows in London, I shall definitely be after tickets for all those (assuming it's not a vast place like the O2). At the end of a European tour, especially if there are multiple dates, we're likely to get a lot of song variation from night to night. Perhaps Mark will follow suit.

And, if they haven't played on stage together earlier in the tour, odds on they'll do so in London - unless they have a clash of egos along the way, of course.

I'd even like to think that Dylan might try out Mark's studio whilst he's here.  There may not be time because Dylan appears to prefer to get back home for their Thanksgiving.
