Mark at VW release last night (15th April)
« on: April 16, 2015, 06:26:53 AM »
Hi!

 It seems that Mark did a performance at the world premiere of the new VW Transporter in Amsterdam last night:

Interesting to see the red Telecaster. WOL, I suppose...

Only DS songs! Wow, that must have hurt...

I would have killed to see irony of the late '70s original song as playback being performed by the 65 year old folk musician.  What a sight ;D

Think positively! This is surely partly because of the tour coming closer. And we hope that Mark felt comfortable to play sultans...

Before the Privateering tour he did another "It's Money That Matters" show for Range Rover in which he played Walk of Life, Money For Nothing etc, and... they were not played during the tour.

I guess that rich people money can't buy things that poor old fans can not.

Maybe yes. But think also the audience in these private parties. Mark starts to play Privateering and people will think that when this warm-up artist will quit (might occur in normal tour too, of course) and the man from Dire Straits will appear to the stage.

Oh yes, don´t get me wrong, I would pay more if I know I won´t get any DS songs and I'll get some rare MK solo songs, but the fact it´s that MK plays the DS songs he refuse to play on tour because bla bla bla reasons when there is big money on the table, that's principles...
