their riffs, not really, he played bits of many songs during the middle bit of TOL, one of them being the house of rising sun, as he did play riders on the storm and many others. and contrary to that vague post on the FB mk worldwide page, he never mentioned the man on stage.
any Knopfler, Floyd or Dylan will do....

No, but he did mention The Animals on the Tunnel of love intro frequently.
You might get lucky, now and then

He played House of The Rising Sun with Chet Atkins too.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

Right, I thought I lose my mind, when Mark played House of The Rising Sun in Tunnel Of Love? Of course that was other tune, thanks.

There's a live version where he mentions The Animals (briefly).  Can't recall which one.

I think he mentions The Animals for sure in the Alchemy video version of the Tunnel intro, probably in some others too...

Shortly after I posted I thought it might be Alchemy but I haven't listened to it for a while!  Thanks.
