MK with EC

[Waldo]

I certainly prefer MK on EC rather than EC on MK songs. Eric soloing on Walk of Life is painful. Playing strat even for rhythm doesn’t work on that song at all.

different taste here, I love Mandela WOL version

Right there with you, J.F.

The whole Dire Straits performance at Mandela is legen- wait for it - dary !

[TheTimeWasWrong]

Solos on Walk of Life have always been problematic, Paul Franklin was the only one to pull it off IMO.

I fully agree. Even though the chord progression is super simple, it takes a lot to play a fresh and unique solo on it. It very quickly becomes bluesy or Albert Lee country-like. Paul's solo is also super melodic, I have always loved it.

Albert Lee would do a great job on it I'm sure!
