I gots mah tickets in mah hot little hands, only a week from Wednesday, hoo hah!  I had heard Marbletown was on the set list - can't wait to hear it, though I must say I reeeeeally wish You Don't Know You're Born would have made it.

My dream is still a Knopfler-Moginie-Rotsey-Hirst-Hillman CD.  The vocal mix would be just as incredible as the guitars.  And think of the great songs they could write together!  - Beth

PS  Heidi's a MK fan too, so not all of his fans here are oldsters like you and me.....

  Hello all you Powdies 

  A few times in the history of this list (when did I first join this
  list? 1994? 1995?) we have discussed other musicians, and I have
  stated my enjoyment of Mark Knopfler. Several other list old timers
  have liked him as well, so I thought I would just make a quick note here.

  After ages and ages of not being able to see Dire Straits or Mr. Mark
  Knopfler whenever he was touring, I was able to go his concert in
  Portland, Oregon Tuesday night.

  WOW.. Just WOW... Some songs work much better live than on the CD.
  Hill's Farmers Blues and Marbletown had a lot more guitar work on
  stage than on the album. The live Version of Telegraph Road was just
  incredible. The Dire Straits Standards Romeo and Juliet and Sultans of
  Swing were the highlight of the evening for most people, but I was
  floored by Speedway at Nazareth.

  Seated 8 rows back, 9 seats from the center, the view did not suck. I
  will be able to pick my jaw off from the floor sometime next week..
