Mark Knopfler and friends - Shepberds Bush Empire 2002 ever released?

[Pieter]

Hi Guys,

I just found this video today en I was wondering, was this whole concert filmed and has this ever been officially released? I can't find anything about it on YT.



Thanks, Pieter

I've always wondered why we only know fragments of this concert? Why Aye Man and Quality Shoe on the bonus disc The Ragpicker's Dream. As well as fragments of the concert from Massey Hall in Toronto on the same bonus disc: Sailing To Philadeplhia and Brothers In Arms. Other songs available on maxi-singles.

Hopefully IF they will release a solo live box i hope they will also include  a Knopfler and friends show. Maybe that a percentage of the sales go to the charity.

My wishlist would be if there will be live box:
- a Full NHB show
- a Golden Heart show
- a StP show
- a MK & Friends show
- a KtGC show

KTGC tour?
It wasn't filmed it wasn't recorded.

[Love Expresso]

All KTGC shows were recorded as they recorded ALL shows at least from 2005 on.

Are you sure? There were no official recordings from this tour.

Even if they have a SB recording, they need a multitrack to have it on a official record, right?

Regarding the MK and Friend at Shepherds bush: So it is recorded en filmed but never officially released except Quality Shoe and Why Aye Men? Or does somebody have some more information about it? I thought the only concerts that were filmed during MK’s solo tours are GH and All the Roadrunning, so I really hope that they will release this concert on YT or officially on a record!

We also know from the StP tour Madrid was filmed but never released

The KTGC shows were definitely recorded. In fact, Guy mentioned at the time that a live album from this tour was considered but this never came to fruition. With regards to the official concert recordings, my guess is that they would have made them available during that tour but for whatever reason couldn’t get a deal together with a distributor. Crowfly, which had provided the recordings from the Shangri-La tour, went bust around that time if I remember rightly.

I guess we have to face the fact that the demand for MK solo stuff is a lot less than for DS.

Once the DS barrel is well and truly scraped they will possibly turn their attention to MK solo.

This concert was filmed to be used in promotion, and they used "Why aye man" and "Quality shoe" in the RPD video press kit, as far as I recall.

I think the audios of these two and also other one (So far away?) were released as bonus tracks in cdsingles

The fact is that this is the only tour from which there are no official recordings. Why? That's a completely different story.

They didn't had a contract with any company to release that tour, the next tours they had a deal with a company (under different names each tour, the person in charge was the same in all companies as far as I recall) so those tours were released.

I wonder if there are any DS songs in the vault that were recorderd but never made it to an album or as a b side on a single. Perhaps they can make a new album with these songs???

According Mr Bicknell, It is better to keep those unreleased stuff on the vault.
