I wonder if this little trip down memory lane has stirred any seminal seeds of conversations between Mark & John, along the lines of.............."How da ya fancy givin it another go after all these years?"
John.... "So Mark, me old mate, how da ya fancy gettin the old band back together?"
Mark.... "Look, i've told you a million times, i don't look back. I'm goin solo now!"
John.... "Don't forget though, we've got the Alchemy Dvd comin out in the new year. That'll get the old fans thinkin about the Straits again, it'll be perfect timing!"
Mark.... "Ok ok then go on , but only a 3 year world tour covering every continent, and no more. That will be it. And only if we can do 3 hour shows with appearances from all the old Straits members from way back when. AND only if we can play an extended version of TOL. I've bin dyin to play that for ages."
John.... "Ok, that's set, i'll just finish my solo album, then we can start the tour summer 2011"
Mark.... "Oh, and i'll get my mate Dave Gilmour to open every show for us, it'll be great. I'm really glad we had this little chat, i can't wait"
Cheers BBB
