I saw that too.   I haven't had time yet to check it out.   More important matters these days.   Thanks for putting this on the forum, Dusty.

Jack talks about playing with Pete Townshend in 1985 at around 16 mins in.



Really cool story, wish we had a video of this moment.

Dusty, I think there was a Pete Townshend DVD with Dire Straits in that exact moment...Got it from the tracker...can't remember SCity or Dime...

[dustyvalentino]

Yeah, I think it was from the South bank Show and they showed rehearsal, but don't think they showed tha actual performance that Jack talks about.

Quite sad really; one day he was playing Live Aid then he was selling his guitars to pay the rent.

very well written

Jack has been my fave Mark's side guitarist of the Straits days but unfortunately I was too young then. Hope to be able to attend him live now that he's back in the music buisness.

I will admit that I am interested in reading his book and will buy it when it comes out...er...whenever that will be.

Indeed... but just as amazing that one day he was working in a guitar shop and the next he was in the biggest band in the world. MK giveth and MK taketh away. MK mentioned him at Mandela so it's strange that Jack seems bitter over how things went down. The book will be very interesting.

Mark and Jack were close friends before the BIA time
