Dire Straits Legacy - Jesus Street (New Song) live in Brazil- 2017

[Eddie Fox]

I don't mind Alan leading a tribute band but when this band is promoted as the real deal it makes me want to throw up. I know you won't understand it since it's in portuguese but both host and interviewer never mention Mark and refer to them as Dire Straits, even asking Marco what it was like to join the band after playing in tribute bands. It's disgusting!

It happens in my country, too... I own a popular local MK fan page in Russia and from time to time people write to me stuff like "why you didn't mention this Dire Straits show at all?" when they would play there. Well, because it's not actually Dire Straits, it's a tribute band. I know people who can't distinguish the real deal and tribute are geniuses on their own right, but it can't say nothing good about these tribute bands either.

Does anyone know what Terence is up to these days? He was way better than Marco imho.

Regarding Alan's band, the way this tour is being promoted here in Brazil is outrageous. They say it's Dire Straits with a new lineup. People are buying tickets to see Dire Straits and posting videos and pictures at Dire Straits gigs saying the band is still great despite Mark's absence... it's insane.

Terence is still singing in the "dire straits experience", one of the two bands that emerged from " the straits" split.

Dire Straits Legacy is not Alan's band but Marco Caviglia and Phil Palmer's band. Alan was just asked to join them, as Mel Collins and Danny Cummings

[Robson]

And all because Mark Knopfler never fought for the name of the team

ps. sorry for my english

I didn't mean he owns the band, but he's certainly the one who lends some credibility and genuineness to it.

They said that this song is being released by the band "Legacy", and that they will start solo works with that name while they are touring playing DS.

If you want to set up a tribute band called "Dire Straits Sausage or Dire Straits Silvery" you can, that's what they did, but they can not record anything with the name, so much so that their new single was released and the band name is Legacy only .

Just when the press conference was going well you-know-who comes out with this gem regarding the new album.

AC:  "...it might even sound better than Dire Straits."

If "Jesus Street" is anything to go by, I wouldn't hold my breath!

AC, I can tell you this free of charge: It won´t.

Gave it one (half) listen. Sounds like Chris Rea trying to sound like Dire Straits. Hurts to see Danny with them.

LE

Gave it half a listen, too. You are offending Chris Rea.
And yes, the only really sad thing about the Legacy is to see Danny getting that low...

He still have to pay his bills, and he losed two bosses recently, Mark Knopfler that decided to substitute him, and George Michael that sadly passed away...
