So why not do things differently? A conundrum.Not sure if he really gets bored. To be fair and in spite of what I wrote two hours ago or so, his playing DOES get better and tighter when the tour commences. But it also leads to shorter sets with lesser songs than in the first few weeks. Which to me is prove that he indeed is not rehearsing much on the guitar anymore and gets better naturally by playing two hours every day for three months when touring. LEExcept that the Manchester Tracker show was the second show of the tour and the best of those I attended, which came later.

LEExcept that the Manchester Tracker show was the second show of the tour and the best of those I attended, which came later.I refer to the US leg 2015 which got highest praises (I did not attend) and some Radio show from Lucca for example in 2013. Also the later recordings in 2010 and 2013 contained generally better and more elaborated versions of many songs. LE

Well dear friends,yesterday i wrote to the universal music Portugal,asking when the new album of Mark is going to be released.Today they answer:`The new album of Mark Knopfler its set to be in November`...So they don´t tell me the day only the month!!!cheers
as far as i can see i'm the only one?, one with a heart of oak!for the rest, there is a line for you folks:"he can't know the story, he can't feel the painand all of the glory falls around him like rain"
Today I discovered the word I was looking for and found in the Guitarist magazine. Great article, interview with MK. One of the last. Basil is the color of Brothers In Arms. I really liked the comparison. For me, Basil is one of the most beautiful songs
