Finally MK knows the shame Richard felt when he played the cowbell during MFN  ;D
that was not Benji k. filming that tambourine scene????

I don´t think so...

Funny when Robert Plant go to where MK is offering the mic, MK tries to approach him and, it wasn´t MK attention what Plant wanted, but Mick Hucknall!!!! funny  ;D ;D ;D ;D
You might get lucky, now and then

I literally laughed my bottom off at that moment, SO AWKWARD. Like — hey, the mic is not for you, who are you, anyway? Skate away and play buben.

And also the way MK plays the tambourine, like if he was a statue...

Actually, I felt very sorry for MK, because I don't think he's a party animal at all - just look at how he stands on the periphery with the tambourine, yards away from the rest of the group, looking utterly out of place and uncomfortable.   :(

At least he tries, LOL

But it´s true, you can see he is quite uncomfortable with the situation, but having fun as well

Yes, he was trying hard, but I'm sure he would have been much more comfortable holding a guitar.    It was the distance between him and the rest of the group that struck me as sad, especially when he thought the mic was for him, but then he realised it was for Mick - I just wanted to give him a hug.

This is classic, I'm sure many of you would understand him. Personally I'm not a party animal at all.
Great example also was when Mark was interviewed by Chris Evans with this blonde and Nile Rodgers.

While Evans, the Blonde and Nile was having a very good time, Mark was "on the side" the whole time, but when some crazy shit started to happen, like "Nile Rodgers impersonating Mark Knopfler" and "Mark Knopfler impersonating Nile Rodgers", some crazy things like that, also involving Sultans at one point, Mark then all of the sudden started clapping, laughing and "having a good time" with the rest, obviously out of defence really, rather out of true feeling of being involved in this circus. It was very awkward to say the least. I hope he got paid sufficiently.

I thought that what was going on center stage with the "ladies" and all going wild and totally overplaying  was more kind of embarrassing. And that it gave Mark AND Mick more a kind of distinguished look to stand off side. Also be aware that Mick obviously preferred to stand next to Mark than throw himself into the Party bunch. Even when Mick was given the Mic he did not know what to do with it exactly. I like him very much btw. Mark always was a loner more or less when it comes to show some feeling and let things go loose. I guess he had a great night nevertheless.

That's the thing. No one needs him, he's just a gimmick :)

Here's the first part of the show, with MK's contribution: https://www.wetransfer.com/downloads/4ddee803d94e1b58345687be2157ba8b20161029085118/53984fce5633674f5d5879735a7346bc20161029085118/d70813

He also played on Van's track(s).

Playtime Deluxe really sounds like a great new track, but nothing MK has done before. It was a fantastic night!

Does anyone arrived to download this file? I missed when it was shared as I was on travel  :(

I didn´t see this in la knopflertk tracker or any other site...
