To the light of your post I did some little researches and found out that member Pensaboy was the author of that thread but appears now as "banned" with almost all of his posts removed.
Dunno what sad thing happened with him but always a strange feeling seeing a long time and active member going away.

I think they photoshopped a 1996 shirt onto his body for authenticity though because he was wearing one with playing cards on the chest for most of '92. I don't remember that pink/cerise one being worn at all on the OES tour. :think

It was a long tour, he surely wore many shirts we don't know ;D
A lot of the professional photos are taken at certain shows though and not every concert. I can recall the Edinburgh show in '96 I attended was professionally shot by photographers. There was a leaflet on the seat when I entered and it said that if I wanted to purchase any from tonights show it was being photographed. Never had that before. I think I sent away for one. Need to have a look. :think

Those were the times when German photographer Guido Karp was Mark's tour photographer. He made 50 (or 100?) Photos available from those tours, mostly and naturally shot during one or two German shows. They gave you the illusion the pics were from "your" concert and you got that leaflet where you could set your order. It was first time done so in 1991 and also that same way during the 2001 tour.

I'd say Cafe Racers, I think in the Myles Palmer book is a picture of MK playing with them that looks similar.
It's not from the Myles Palmer book - I just checked, but I recognise the tin of toffees on the piano as 'Farrahs of Harrogate' toffees, just up the road from Leeds, so I would say it was taken, possibly, from Mark's time in Leeds, circa 1969/73. However, David is wearing a similar outfit in another photo in the Myles Palmer book - and on darkshiver's avatar, so maybe it was from the time of The Polytechnic gig in Leeds, 1978. :think

Explanation:
There was a thread were Pensaboy (not in a nice way) reacted to Quizzaciously about his MK songbook. Some insults (from a couple of members) were pointed to Pensaboy because of his reaction. That's why he decided (his own decision) to leave the forum. He told me that he was insulted (by some people here) many more times in the last year. He deleted almost all his posts and topics, including the populair rare pics topic. After that we gave Pensaboy a ban. We tried to recover this topic out of a backup, but unfortunately almost all pics are lost, so we don't put it back here.
And now we have a new pics topic ;)

Both of Darkshiver's pictures that he questioned can be seen on "A Life in Songs" at 12'59 in the Leeds part of the programme, but there is no explanation of who the bearded chap might be. :)
Yes, I definitely agree. It's the Duolian String Pickers days for sure c.1970. He wore that bunnet in another picture from those days.
The String Pickers never lasted long. It was a case of hair today, gone tomorrow. ;)

I bet it didn't get much use... It's in the meeting room at British Grove Studio. They have screens in the control rooms of studio 1 and 2 to use when they work on film scores or surround mastering.

Actually MK himself showed us his studio in the Get Lucky videos, and also in some other interviews, and pictures in the Guy diaries, we even saw the kitchen that can be seen from the outside...

Yes, Mark does seem to have lost some weight, but I think it suits him. I certainly don't see a frail old man in the picture - in fact, he looks pretty good to me. :)
And no any signs of health issues if you ask me... I wish I will be ageing like him in my late 60s. He looks great!
I can't get people saying "Oh, he looks so old". And so what? We all be there, let's enjoy our time here on Earth.

I recall seeing this picture of MK and John Illsley playing live with the Talking Heads in 1978 in big size and without that "bar" in the image, did any of you have it?
This is not from 1978, not from the January tour when they were supporting Talking Heads. It is from summer 1979 when both bands played together on some German (?) festival gigs, and I think some TH joined DS on stage, not the other way around. There are some more pictures of it around.

Never heard about it but makes sense as all DS are on the stage. I never saw more pictures of this, do you have them?
Post by: Ingo on May 10, 2017, 11:20:56 AM
But I remember seeing this one for the first time in a Spanish book on DS (which unfortunately I do not own), it was rather a big format. I guess the 'bar' in the picture is a shade where the page is bent when it was scanned from this book.

He certainly had it in January '87 for the RAH shows, whereas the MK1 debuted at the Prince's Trust Gala on 6th June '88.

Oh, those terrible striped trousers. Hope they will never come back into fashion.
You have to understand and accept that Dire Straits peaked exactly in the heyday of bad taste, in the mid-eighties. If you look at the clothes alone, that can be fun now, as these great pictures show. More importantly, though, the bad-taste fiesta also took its toll on the music. Some of it, I'm afraid to say, has survived until this very day, in Guy's synths and keyboard playing ... ::)

Yes, I have a vivid recollection of distinctive features of 80s. All that 'splendor' coincided with my first experience of being in love and I used tons of radiant make-up to look as beautiful as possible. ;D

I purchased every detailed part mk1 takes and found a local luthier to make it. It is not a Pensa-suhr but it looks alike.
Same pick-ups , body, fret, bridge, pegs and whatever it took.

It was a long tour, he surely wore many shirts we don't know ;Di actually distributed flyers for him at the last Bremen concert, thnx to our very own markywes. so it is still being done.
A lot of the professional photos are taken at certain shows though and not every concert. I can recall the Edinburgh show in '96 I attended was professionally shot by photographers. There was a leaflet on the seat when I entered and it said that if I wanted to purchase any from tonights show it was being photographed. Never had that before. I think I sent away for one. Need to have a look. :think
Those were the times when German photographer Guido Karp was Mark's tour photographer. He made 50 (or 100?) Photos available from those tours, mostly and naturally shot during one or two German shows. They gave you the illusion the pics were from "your" concert and you got that leaflet where you could set your order. It was first time done so in 1991 and also that same way during the 2001 tour.

It would be nice if the author would choose better pics for Pick and Mark. They look terrible to me. Why pick a photo with bored Mark when there's tons of photos where he looks healthier and happier than this? From that picture it's John who should collect all the awards!

they also played the Torhout-Werchter festival "together" that year.I recall seeing this picture of MK and John Illsley playing live with the Talking Heads in 1978 in big size and without that "bar" in the image, did any of you have it?
This is not from 1978, not from the January tour when they were supporting Talking Heads. It is from summer 1979 when both bands played together on some German (?) festival gigs, and I think some TH joined DS on stage, not the other way around. There are some more pictures of it around.

Yes it was. Got a long time I had the VHS from the show. But played so many times that it was ruined. Mark sang it live but music was in playback. That was strange because they did a mini soundcheck during the comercial break of the show.Hi, the song played was Silvertown Blues. They also played What it is before. I was in the audience.

It is absolutely true but since our currency was weaker than Neymar's acting skills and the rate of inflation higher than Bob Marley it became unviable for the promoters to bring them over.

Off topic, but I had a look at Issy's Instagram some time ago, and it's so funny to read some of the comments by people who clearly are there because they are fans of Mark's. "Say hello to your daddy" and stuff like that. Not creepy at all.

I think 90% of her subscribers are there because of her "daddy" lol. Including me. And on Guy's instagram, too. But yeah, knowing that I never comment or like, although this particular picture deserves the like under any circumstances, because it's awesome and to be honest, something that Mark could easily upload in his own Instagram, if only he knew how to use it lol.
By the way, speaking of Instagram, Henrik Hansen's Instagram account looks like Mark's Instagram account if it existed: https://www.instagram.com/directorhansen/ (https://www.instagram.com/directorhansen/)

Difficult to say because he is shrinking with age rather like a plum/prune. Probably about 5' 10".

I thought he looked very bloated on the facebook interview, but thinner on the Ken Bruce videos! :hmm Maybe he lost some weight after the facebook interview, whenever that was filmed. Yes, I agree, 5' 10". :)

I guess that bike is such a speedy bike that the world tour could be at risk simply because it would take a year to drive home.
On a serious note, I remember Guy said Mark used Subway to go to O2 arena to avoid traffic, while Guy took a car and failed.

Great sounding recording! Apart from the very last part of Telegraph road, it's the complete concert. The last three songs have been taken from a very good second source to make the concert complete. In some points of those three last songs some music from the nearby disco (!) was recorded too. It's sounds pretty distant but it's there. Overal sound quality is great which makes it a must to have is you like the 1983 concerts.

strange because Mark looks like he has no headband....and in july 83, I think he wore it already ?
I think he started to wear a headband in spring 83
The concert was in the open air. Maybe he did not need it :)

Thank you, Simon! Sometimes low-quality pictures like that makes it all the more personal. It's YOUR experience, not something that is projected via a professional photographer with pro gear.
Must have been amazing to be there, and to know today that you were there, at the beginning of something huge.
Yes it was. I had already seen Dire Straits in November 1978 at a very small intimate gig (maybe 200) at Durham University having been listening to the album since March 1978 before it was officially released.

A very interesting picture auction in ebay this week. A piece of history in paper. A shot from 70's? Anybody knows the date? I think a similar shot appears in a book. Colin Irwin book maybe? In that picture, which I don't place now, I had always thought Mark was with John, but the man who smiles behind Mark doesn't look like John. Any help?
It's Ron Watts from Brewers Droop 1973, similar to the one in the Myles Palmer biography.

Yes. M. Palmer book. MARK, JOHN MACKAY and STEVE KANE at work...Thanks!
From Myles Palmer book:
"Roadie Steve Kane replaces the band's car engine in 1973, aided by hairy guitarist and even hairier Ron Watts"
No Mention of John MacKay. :)

Yes, it's my favourite MK picture after the one from Shangri-La sessions, here's the link: https://sun9-60.userapi.com/c627830/v627830999/16b43/waWBVq6COoU.jpg (https://sun9-60.userapi.com/c627830/v627830999/16b43/waWBVq6COoU.jpg). But this picture with a Strat was the first time ever I've seen Mark, so it's a bit unfair :lol

Business, I guess. It's like "Business in front, party in the back" hair style in the 80s, if Mark is dressed formally you know something is up :lol
I like how the author of the pic casually mentions MK as if — yeah, not a big deal, just some guy from Dire Straits, he was walking by and decided to take a picture with us, what a gentleman.

"Grubby" to me means dirty and untidy. MK doesn't look either of those in the picture. However, his face looks a bit puffy, even though he appears to have slimmed down generally.
Maybe he's just doing the effort for the picture and trying to hide the belly ;D :lol

I've never seen this guitar before. Looks like a Pensa Suhr, but this one is new to me.

The guitar was used on Randy Newman's [/size]Land of dreams[/size] album and Mark Knopfler also used it to play some promotional work together with Randy Newman in 1988. Click [/size]here[/size] for another picture of the same performance (Saturday Night Live, 20th October 1988) and [/size]here[/size] for a picture of a performance with Randy Newman on Sunday Night (6th November 1988).

Classic MK rock 'n roll, could have been on the Neck and Neck record (licks + sound). You can hear The Bug, I Used to Could, Two Young Lovers, WOL, Next Time I'm in Town, Cannibals. Also snippets of There'll Be Some Changes Made in the solo.

That solo always makes me think about Michael Jackson's "Beat it", a song with a killing guitar by Steve Lukather and the solo is played by Eddie Van Halen that, in comparation with Lukather guitar during all the track, sucks a lot.
There’s a very interesting video on YouTube on how those guitars were recorded. Steve’s a very funny guy.
Re Beck’s solo I know I’m outnumbered here but I actually like that one.

You and I have had our disagreements in the past, but here I agree with you. I think Beck's solo fits really well. The overall production is very 80s style, and I'm not sure a typical Mark solo would have fit that well. Would be interesting to hear how Mark would have played it though.

The solo on "Beat it"?
Actually is far better than the Jeff Beck solo on Private Dancer, but when you listen to the killing guitar by Lukather on "Beat It" and the Van Halen solo comes, it's like a strange copy and paste of different styles that doesn't match very well, at least to me...

Yes, Steve tells how they lost the tapes and had to record it all over again and funny intel on Eddie Van Halen. Lots of fun.

Probably... Mark came to Barcelona in 1996 with Kitty and family. I remember that he tooks a car with a driver to get around Barcelona with Kitty all the time. I didn't remenber he tooks a bus that year That's why I think it was 2001 instead 1996... but I am not going to set fire to myself in this case....

Today trying to order the huge amount of photos and clippings that I have in my collection, I found the first photos I could take of DS in Barcelona in 1992 when I was 17 years old. At that time I had a very very poor quality camera and these photos are taken a few minutes ago with my smartphone, so the quality is bad but I would like to share them with all the AMITers. They are photos on stage and back to the hotel in May (8-10th May, 1992 La monumental bullring )

Guy and others wear the F. C. Barcelona shirts. Strange MK chose to wear the R. C. D Espanyol one...Well, probably at that time, Mark had other things on his head (he was about to broke with Lourdes ...) and took the first shirt they gave him (also sure that the person who gave it was supporter of RCD Espanyol!) ;D ;D

but I discovered yesterday in a FB group, pictures from western springs 15th april 81, and he has it. :o
so it seems he tried it in april 81, he didn't wear it in europe spring 81, neither in autumn-winter 82 (pics from wembley arena december 82 in the Oldfield book), and then he wore it again in spring 83, and kept it :think
also, it is strange that there is no bootleg circulating from australian tour in 81 :think

He wouldn't have needed any sweatband in the UK during December 1981 because it was the coldest winter on record! A severe cold spell formed in early December 1981 and lasted until mid-late January 1982. I vaguely remember the snow being deeper than my wellies!
Sorry dmg, but the coldest winter in recent memory in the UK was in 1962/63. I remember it well and it lasted from December 1962 until March 1963. I remember it freezing every day for six weeks, even downto -20 and it was possible to skate on our local lake in Liverpool, which I did with my friends after work. I know, I'm showing my age! ;D

This information is wrong, in reality these photos are on 26.03.1983-Western Springs Auckland New Zealand, unfortunately the gettyimages site is not accurate on the dates, I have come across a lot of wrong information regarding the location and dates of photos on that site. It happens that Dire Straits played on 15.04.1981- Western Springs Auckland New Zealand, but the photos in question were in the same place, on the Love Over Gold tour, which was the moment when Mark started wearing the headband, how is it known .
Therefore, these photos are surely on 26.03.1983-Western Springs Auckland New Zealand!

I remember people talk about 1947 being one of the worst, but that was in the North of England, Scotland and N Ireland. I do vaguely remember it, but I was very young! ;)

He wouldn't have needed any sweatband in the UK during December 1981 because it was the coldest winter on record! A severe cold spell formed in early December 1981 and lasted until mid-late January 1982. I vaguely remember the snow being deeper than my wellies!
Sorry dmg, but the coldest winter in recent memory in the UK was in 1962/63. I remember it well and it lasted from December 1962 until March 1963. I remember it freezing every day for six weeks, even downto -20 and it was possible to skate on our local lake in Liverpool, which I did with my friends after work. I know, I'm showing my age! ;D

If, in 1981/2 the snow was deeper than 5 year old dmg's wellies, then I consider it bad! :lol

I think you get it wrong, the headband was also there because of the warmth of the spotlights rings over his head and as winter shows were generally indoor, Mark was also sweating hard on stage... Just my €0.02

LOL! I do, however, remember a lot of very deep snow in the late 70s and 80s here in Yorkshire and some winters the snow was so deep that we had to dig out our front door (spade left outside purposely) to get in and that's IF we actually got to work at all, due to giant snow drifts across Leeds Ring Road! Those were the days! ;D Also there's a big difference between the coldest winters and the snowiest. Some of the coldest are the worst!

Mark and John looked very exhauted and not lucky at that time :think :-\
I agree. Mark, especially, looked very tired and depressed on some of the Barcelona pictures.
I came across this interview lately, man he looked like shit at the end of the OES tour, quite a dark period for him I think.

I always thought that Mark began to wear the headband in spring 83
but I discovered yesterday in a FB group, pictures from western springs 15th april 81, and he has it. :o
so it seems he tried it in april 81, he didn't wear it in europe spring 81, neither in autumn-winter 82 (pics from wembley arena december 82 in the Oldfield book), and then he wore it again in spring 83, and kept it :think
also, it is strange that there is no bootleg circulating from australian tour in 81 :think
https://www.gettyimages.ca/detail/news-photo/western-springs-stadium-15-april-1981-news-photo/819511580?fbclid=IwAR3UjFviycq1sl4xmW_CaKiAaMn1KKMyZIPG8bMBbYju98dqW4Tql_diYH8

This information is wrong, in reality these photos are on 26.03.1983-Western Springs Auckland New Zealand, unfortunately the gettyimages site is not accurate on the dates, I have come across a lot of wrong information regarding the location and dates of photos on that site. It happens that Dire Straits played on 15.04.1981- Western Springs Auckland New Zealand, but the photos in question were in the same place, on the Love Over Gold tour, which was the moment when Mark started wearing the headband, how is it known .
Therefore, these photos are surely on 26.03.1983-Western Springs Auckland New Zealand!
Many thanks Brunno !
I knew there was someting strange...mystery solved !

Hello everybody.
Today trying to order the huge amount of photos and clippings that I have in my collection, I found the first photos I could take of DS in Barcelona in 1992 when I was 17 years old. At that time I had a very very poor quality camera and these photos are taken a few minutes ago with my smartphone, so the quality is bad but I would like to share them with all the AMITers. They are photos on stage and back to the hotel in May (8-10th May, 1992 La monumental bullring )
I was on May 9, can you send me all the photos you have please ? carlosbelmonte73@yahoo.es

Yes. Eric and Mark played in Nagoya 31october at Raibown hall and 2nd November at Tokyo Dome with Elton John. Eric tour in Japan begans 30 October in Nagoya and finished in Osaka (5th November 1988)
Mark in racing mode always reminds me of Ayrton Senna.

AMIT members meet up location??!!! :wave
That's a bit random! I was thinking Newcastle or even London more appropriate for the sights and locales of songs and lyrics etc.
dmg, I'm disappointed you wouldn't want to go to 'Bar Knopfler' for a meet up!!!
Drinks look fine but I don't fancy the look of their Strat burgers and some of the tables are So Far From the Bar we'll need to send our order by Telegraph Code. ;D
'I could order you a toastie
Just like that one there
Or the same in plain white bread
When you’re dealing with a toastie
What do you prefer
Brown or red?'

On 4th April 1986, Dire Straits performed a sell out, outdoor concert at Cairns Showgrounds, despite a torrential rain storm throughout the entire evening. The stage, equipment, instruments and band were soaked through, and Mark sang an impromptu version of 'Singin' In The Rain'. This picture of Mark and Jack Sonni was captured by Brian Cassey and printed across the Cairns Post broadsheet front page.

I remember working as a roadie about 10 years ago and the rain on the outdoor venues was one of the worst nightmares of the crew... Yes, guys on stage could have fun, be we certainly won't.
But at the same time, I can't understand how a venue can be outdoor and don't have any protection from the rain? Do the people who built this know about such a thing as the weather?

I've seen that video over and over, I love it. Not only because of their playing and Marks good mood, but the way he touches Guy. It says "I care for you".

Very nice - seeing this brings back some of my earliest DS memories. My Dad had this album (albeit on CD rather than vinyl), I remember him playing Sultans and Romeo & Juliet from it which was my first introduction to the band. He must have played it a lot judging by the wear and tear on the CD holder! I loved Sultans from the first time I heard it and started to play it over and over for myself, a few years before I started exploring their music properly. I also found to interesting to see that Where Do You Think You're Going is on side one of the vinyl, as it is track 7 (after the two Making Movies tracks) on the CD version - I assume time constraints on vinyl prevented the inclusion of Tunnel of Love on the first side. I also seem to remember reading that the live version of Telegraph Road is also CD only (same as Love Over Gold on Alchemy).

I wonder if that's from Mark's old home studio. Guy had a photo on his website where Mark was testing a Mexican-made Fender Strat at his home, and I think I recognize those curtains.

I'd guess MK is pictured on the left side (flatcap). Steve Philipps seems to be in the middle, if I'm not mistaken.

I think one of the dozens of musicians Mark played with. Interesting is that Mark's style here is very much David-like in later years, he looks here like David more than anywhere else.

It's definitely not Steve. In the previous 1973 picture he didn't have a beard and he wouldn't have had time to grow one that long! :)

could it be the "other" Steve Philips ? the journalist, the one who interviewed Steve Philips :) (true story)
No, I asked MKNEWS and he is Jeff Sadler, of Lindisfarne.
Looks like MK was friend of some of Lindisfarne members, it is known he recorded with Rod Clemments!

I always thought Mark also wore the same belt for like a decade or something. The same belt kept showing in the videos, so I thought he really loves wearing same things for a long time. A perfect example of if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Interesting, I bet the final price would be insane so can't even bother bidding. Strange they won't include the original brand of the boots, or it was a custom ordered ones? Anyway, great and unusual idea. You literally can stand in someone else's shoes :lol
Also, isn't that Chelsea Boots and not Derby Boots how it's called there?

The text says "5 years later (1973)", but the file name is "Holly at birthday party 79", so I bet for 1979, as Holly moved again to London in late 78, and I think that Mark and Holly startet dating around autumn 78 (see my chronicle about "Romeo and Juliet" : https://textes-blog-rock-n-roll.fr/une-chanson-a-la-loupe-romeo-and-juliet-de-dire-straits/)

WOL from 96 was still great, can't remember if the one from 2001 started to be more Cajun and more slow, but 2005 was definitely the worst WOL version ever.

2001 version featured Geraint Watkins on accordion ,and Mike Henderson on harmonica and then on slide guitar
so a little bit in cajun style, a bit more in country-rock style on the outro

Always.
This Romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up
It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see, I've always been a fighter
But without you, I give up
I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby, that's just me
And I will love you, baby, always
And I'll be there forever and a day, always
I'll be there 'til the stars don't shine
'Til the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you, always
Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry

Far better then! Curious that Alan wasn't at the table, and John wasn't looking at what was happening at the stage at that moment, lol

I can't sing a love songI always knew there was a connection because of this line.
Like the way it's meant to be
I saw Jon live in 2019 and it was fun! I didn’t know about the signed record but that’s wonderful and a great gesture from Jon to mention it at the ceremony.

I guess Mark hadn't received his Pensa-Suhr MK1 yet (since he is using the black one here). I always thought the black Pensa-Suhr was really cool.
warm-up gigs are on 9 june I guess
but Prince trust is on 6th june and Mark has already the Pensa-Suhr MKI

so maybe the pic is before 6th ?

Pink Straits or Dire Floyd.
I remember Guy said that in a speed circuit or something like that he and John played "One of these days" and "great gig in the sky" with Nick Mason and others musicians, but I've never seen a video of that...
I found this in Guy's forum:
July 9, 2012
Question: Wow, John Illsley and Guy Fletcher from Dire Straits playing with Nick Mason and Durga McBrown from Pink Floyd two great Pink Floyd songs… Is there any video of this? I´ll love to see John playing the mad bass chords of One of these days, and of course to see Guy playing the wonderful piano chords of Great Gig…
Answer: I’m sure there is somewhere

I know that’s KTGC, but I’ve never seen this particular pic (what’s what my post is basically saying). The pic everybody knows is where MK is doing some hand gestures, but it’s completely different.

Mark took a cup of coffee on the terrace-area in front of the Hyatt-Regency-Hotel in Cologne. Pure Mark, no securities, only Mark with a newspaper, a cup of coffee, and me. He was very relaxed and he didn´t realized, that i have taken a photo, while he was relaxing in front of the hotel.

Jovel-Music-Hall, Münster, 03.05.2016. Smaller location with a few hundred fans. Very intimate concert. A few fans and me met John in the small foyer of a hotel close to the venue. He is a very polite person, and he signed record-covers and tickets for all fellow fans and he answers questions to us all. Fantastic person and also a fantastic show. He played his own songs and some Dire Straits songs, too.

Dortmund Westfalenhalle, 17.06.2015. At the Backstage-entrance a fellow fan from Poland and i got some autographs by Mark. He came a bit late to the sound-check-date at 5 o clock in the young evening. They were expected there at 3 o clock in the afternoon, so Mark and Band were short on time, but Pete Mackay, the second Tourmanager was so kind to organize a short stop for us, and Mark was always relaxed in his car, while he signed our records. Some other fans weren´t so patient and they went away to another gate, but that was really bad luck for them.
So thanks again Mark, for a marvellous concert and for your signature on my Tracker Vinyl-Album. :thumbsup

Also a cool pic from Mark in the boxing-ring. One slightly different pic was used for the frontcover of the Single What it is. 8)
It was always fascinating to me, why so many writers or "creative" people are so in love with boxing? When I was young I thought how two guys breaking each other noses can be interesting at all? But Mark actually answers this question in Song For Sonny. I think it's their tough lives and "ultimate fights" that make it so special. When two boxers with 0 lost fights get together in the ring, that's something to behold! And you have "The Boxer" by Paul Simon, a brilliant set of films "Rocky"...

Thank you for posting some great pics here, SamGolden. Tough to jump from a 30 yo Mark to a 70 you Mark. Age is not just a number but that's life I guess. It's still 40 years great music and that's quite something in itself.

Two legends together, I can only imagine the atmosphere of the sound that happened at that meeting. Who knows, maybe one day a recording will appear. I know it was in September 1985, when the BIA tour was doing the USA.

great ! I saw it on FB
I only knew the other pic
one comment said this :
"After headlining the Oakland Arena during their “Money for Nothing” tour, Dire Straits dropped by Sweetwater unannounced, with two tour buses and an entourage of 70, to catch guitarist Mark Kopfler’s hero J. J. Cale, that night’s headliner. Knopfler, who had never seen Cale before, joined him onstage while the entourage huddled in the basement."

Great little article and a great description of "twiddly bits". I figured it out when I was 15 or 16, it always amazes me the amount of impact this lick has on the audience every time Mark plays it, sounds really fast, but actually easy to play :lol

1 thing is understanding what notes should be played,
completely another is having the same touch and sound MK has

I found his High-School-Yearbook from 1972 and i hope i receive it within a few days. He attended a High-School in Conneticut. To me it is a kind of a document for my collection of various Dire Straits-artifacts. 8) Crazy but interesting to see.

A promo-pic from a BBC-produced Doku about Dire Straits called ARENA-Dire Straits. Stamped, handwritten and typed with promotional-text about the Documentary. Photo was possibly used for publication.
Date: 24. January 1987. Typed date is: 18. March 1980. That could be the date of photography, and the other date belonged to the transmission of the doku.
Photographer: currently unknown to me.

Maybe because they care only about aesthetics and the actual appearance is nothing to them. It's like "I like more if he looks to this side", and because the photographer probably knows nothing about music, flipping instruments is OK for him. Another clue might be that Mark himself didn't care how to play for a photoshoot.

Mark may not be the №1 guitarist in the world, but he's certainly one of the most photogenic guitar players in the world. Mark and a guitar are like a match made in heaven. Perfect proportions, perfect hands, no terribly overacted grimaces, and usually no pick. I was always jealous about how damn good Mark looked with a guitar. But then I remember that he also sings well, write great songs and having a great family and my whole day is ruined :lol
I absolutely agree with you what you say about Mark!
But speaking of you, Pavel, you are also a great guitar player! I'm sure for all of us who watch your videos you are a great inspiration also.
I hope I could lighten up your day little. ;)

they used these guitars on the second leg of the tour, from early August in the US I guess : one world, MFN, and solid rock. as you can see on the sydney show for the 2 later ones

Vaison 1996, what a concert... been in the actual place some years ago, closed my eyes and played for a few minutes the recording loud in my iPod. It was good fun and made me think how much I would have liked to be there on that day. I was in Lyon that year both nights and it was great. What a tour!

"Between 1978 and 1979, Dire Straits used to rehearse at Wood Wharf, Greenwich, London. Whenever they were going to rehearse in the middle of the first and second album tour, they would refine their songs, create new arrangements, as well as new songs emerge.
This photo is on one of those occasions, probably on 9th September 1978, one of those rehearsals was filmed by 'Veronica' (TV). To date this video has not been found or shared."

You can caught covid even when you are vaccinated. The vaccine what does is tell your body how to defend against the virus, but anyone vaccinated can caught it and spread it to other people not vaccinated. Lot of scientists are already telling that we are going to see cases of people vaccinated that caught it. Most of them will pass it without problems because of the vaccine but some might not as it's not really clear how much the vaccine protect.
This picture looks like dangerous to me.

Most of them will pass it without problems because of the vaccine but some might not as it's not really clear how much the vaccine protect.
This picture looks like dangerous to me.
Not much in the way of social distancing, that's for sure!
Yes, quite strange, but I think everything is OK here because MK is a smart guy. It's quite an achievement after 1 year of lockdown there was not a single photo of MK in mask until this point. The man knows how to hide from the spectators :lol

Mark's looks on this photo are pretty intimidating though. He looks both enjoying the event (posture) and hating it (eyes) at the same time, let alone the stupid positive "both thumbs up" businessman cliché that is not quite in line with a guy who turned 71 last year. Why we get this instead of shots of working in the studio is a mystery to me.

All I can say is that actually recording actual songs is only a tip of an iceberg when it comes to recording an album. Most of the time it's experimenting with sound, moving microphones (Guy's favourite part of the job apparently), tuning instruments, changing strings, working out bugs, and only then recording. Not as romantic as it seems, straight to the point and usually a pretty fast job not only because the studio time is expensive but simply because you get hungry and tired super fast. You can even lose your voice by the end of a session. So the absence of studio photos is understandable, hovewer, in Mark's case, there are no photos at all.

For Mr. BG there are no real issues I believe :lol My only hope was that having his own studio, Mark would produce records faster, but his pace hasn't changed a bit it seems. If anything, it even got slower because of "moving microphones" constantly. The sonic qualities of the record took the lead thanks to Guy.

Actually BG loose money every year... there are some sites that tell you information about companies and even includes files with that kind of information...
Owning a recording studio is a pretty risky business these days, but thanks to Mark he opted for that instead of, say, owning a winery which is everybody's doing. By the way, I like Sting's wine! The thing is Mark started building the studio before the whole home-recording boom and now, when everybody has a studio in his house with great microphones, preamps, and yes, modelling amps, studios will generate less and less profit, relying only on cinema, commercials, games work, etc.

It's not his house but a building bought and constructed specifically to be a recording studio.
He used to have a home studio at his Holland Park Mews house, where he recorded the whole NHB record, parts of Neck and Neck, The Princess Bride and Last exit to Brooklyn, also the overdubs and final comping and mixing from GH and STP. But nowadays he does everything at British Grove.
I never said that it's his house :lol Hovewer, I'm pretty sure it has some sleeping facilities so you can live there.
My biggest gripe with BG is that Mark owns this studio for 15 odd years and never did any live music broadcasts with video. Even John Illsley did it! A perfectly built studio, extremely photogenic, with amazing sound and opportunities. But we do have some lip-synced videos from Shangri-La studio. Classic Mark :lol

The way London property prices go maybe the building itself would be worth a fortune if he decided to sell.

I see the last album as a artistical bankruptcy from Mark. So no ideas since many years, just the habit of spending time doing it, sort of acting like a songwriter.
LE
I have to disagree with you here. Granted, I don't listen to the last album a lot as I find other artists a lot more interesting these days, but I do think Mark made an effort to change things around and that there's a pretty good variety in songs and sounds.

Ok such a studio needs to be used allready, because all employees will also be paid. That´s fact, but i´m of the opinion Mark is able to pay all costs and to pay all his employees in the studio.
I don´t know if Mark made special costs for the Rolling Stones, which also recorded an album at British Grove. :think 8)

I doubt Guy or John Illsley get "mates rates" at all, why would they? as I have said, it is a commercial business, like other artists, they would have to book time direct with the studio, not just ask Mark. Yes, he owns it, but I doubt he gets involved with the day to day issues, that is why he employs someone to do it. Guy has his own studio too, so he wouldn't need to book much time in BG for his own purpose anyway.
I agree, it's either "free of charge" or full price. I remember reading that Mark helped people, who he hadn't gifted with his signature Strats, to buy it with a discount from Fender, so he cares about this stuff.

I read an interview with Nick Lowe where he said BG is the best studio but too expensive for him to use. Nick Lowe has had hit singles and albums, has a loyal following and can comfortably sell out theatres. But BG is too expensive for him.

Razorlight, Travis,Chris de Burgh, Take that, The Last Shadow Puppets, Ronan Keating, Duffy, Mystery Jets, Noah and the Whale, Vicente Amigo, Iggy Azalea, ASH, Jonathan Antoine, Jamie Cullum and The 1975 between many others could afforded to record at BG...

Yes, there's no doubt Nick's appeal is "more selective" these days (and he's never been massive), but his records will still sell many multiples of GF. No way GF pays full rates IMO.

Thanks for this beautiful picture.
Do you have any info when and for what occasion this pic was taken?
It's from a BBC documentary about Alan Hull (Lindisfarne) that is being shot these days.
FRom here: https://www.bbc.com/mediacentre/2021/england-commissioning/
Fog on the Tyne: The Alan Hull Story (w/t)
Daisybeck Studios
The story of the singer and songwriter from Geordie super-group Lindisfarne. Alan Hull was dubbed ‘the Geordie Dylan’ for his ability to compose a wide range of classic tracks in the 1970s. His songs included Lady Eleanor, Fog On The Tyne, Winter Song, Clear White Light and Run For Home.
Hull wrote about love and friendship, but also championed the underdog and the misunderstood, and celebrated working class culture in his hometown.
In this film, Brit award-winner Sam Fender explores the archives and discovers the real Alan Hull. We also hear contributions from Sting, The Unthanks, Elvis Costello, Kay Greyson and Mark Knopfler.

Mark's old man posture doesn't look extremely healthy here or maybe it was just an extremely awkward split-second to take a picture. Who takes pictures while somebody is going to sit anyway? Most importantly, what the guy on the left was doing? Looks like he held Mark's nose before the shot. A terrible picture indeed.

Maybe one of the Mexicans he auctioned in 2002?
Anyway, it always breaks my heart to look at the guitar that just sits on the wall... Take it and play it, for Mark's sake, somebody, please.

Maybe he's just old? How good do you expect a 70 year old to be on the guitar?
I think that's it, he is just old

Anyone remember him wearing this suit?
I was trying to think that too. From what I can read it says it was worn at "public appearances."

do you rememeber when there was that guitar competition about 10 years ago, the winner won 1 lesson with mark,
the 5 finalists were chosen very badly by the company (unrelated to MK) that ran the competition,
only 1 or 2 were good, 99% of the best players didn't reach the final and MK listened only to those 5 ones, unbelievable

Yes, I remember it, but I was too young at the time to participate and could barely play guitar back then, let alone record it in at least some quality... But as I remember, the winner was this cool guy who went ahead and wrote a great article on the day he met MK, it was a very genuine and respectful article, never ever have I expressed any envy towards this person.
This prize draw, however, is a complete free-for-all and defies common sense. The possibility of winning a guitar won't draw me into this charity because I know that I won't win. And MK thought that giving away guitar is enough, he could at least say something about the charity itself. Anyway, I'm not a fan of all these auctions and I'm surprised they're successful.

I think this should be taken in the spirit it is meant, so good on Mark for helping yet another charity, the fact you can win the guitar is a bonus, raising the money for charity is the point.
I see it like you!
It's a great gesture from Mark to donate this beautiful guitar for a good cause. I hope that a lot of money will be raised to help these people.

But Brewers Droop is just Mark and Pick Withers.
More.......
Throughout 1973, The Droop continued to record a proposed second album while undergoing various line-up changes. Pick Withers took over on drums for a short spell before Walker returned. Shortly thereafter, Timms left and was replaced by new bassist Steve Nachi.
Around the same time, Mark Knopfler was recruited as the group's primary guitarist, allowing Mackay to come to the fore more as a co-lead vocalist with Watts. Knopfler split his time between teaching part-time, and playing with the band.
Hope that helps...

He's there 'high lighted' in big print! ;)
Of note Steve Darrington who played with MK in Brewers Droop now organises a Blues Festival here in Dorset a stones throw away from me...

Brewers Droop -
'at an audition in the Nags Head, High Wycombe, Mark Knopfler auditioned with a red guitar, a flat hat, and joined the band'
Post by: Knopflerfan on September 05, 2021, 08:55:55 PM
Knopfler and Withers (who had not actually been in The Droop at the same time) went on to great success in the band Dire Straits.
As perhaps a bit of an in-joke, the Dire Straits song "Industrial Disease" (which Knopfler wrote and sang, and Withers drummed on) mentions "Brewer's Droop" in the context of a diagnosed malady, alongside smoker's cough.

Wow, bet it sounds as good as the day it was built!
That's the amazing thing with these old amps, they were hand built with wired components which can be easily replaced. Modern amps are made with printed circuit boards and digital stuff which can be much harder to maintain. It's 57 years old and will still be going in another 57, assuming valves can still be found!
I didn't realise MK had one when I got it.
You still see it in some of Guy's studio diaries, Guy used it for bass on his album for example.

Wowsers that's excellent - a proper amp as I would call it. Yes not keen on the very modern amps although I currently play through a 'newish' Vox Valvetronix or an older Fender Champion....

Problem with the Concert is it's really big and heavy. I've never had it above 5!

Love his slide playing and love that guitar. I got one in the summer (red though not black. Consoling myself with the fact that it makes me a bit like MK and a bit like Hank Marvin too…)
Oh yeah, Mark's slide playing is so tasty! I've heard a lot of slide players, and while many of them are extremely technically skilled, Mark, as always, goes out and blow them out of the water with a couple of notes. And within his own songs too!
Danelectro's are pretty cheap also, even vintage ones, which is a nice addition indeed.

I guess that the venue itself was part of the magic but I wasn't there so I can't say. Musically speaking I've always felt that the third night was the best. Was it because it was recorded, I don't know?i still found the whole evening in Beaulie to be very magical.it is just that the Beaulie concert that i attended was even better :-)

I agree with the last Straits thing, up to now and probably forever.
If those guys had toured, I would've done the whole tour ;D. My guess is that the RPD 2003 tour would have been close if you consider the line-up but it had never happened so... we will never know.

Surprising picture coming from someone who cares about privacy as hard as MK. I've always thought that date is a bit banal for a wedding, much like all the "special" wedding dates like 22.02.2022 or something, people pay ridiculous money to register their wedding on dates like that. And a wedding on Valentine's Day? I don't know... It's like dying on the day of the dead.
UPD: I mean it makes sense if it was done by accident!

This wasn't a wedding picture. I have the same picture which I cut out from a newspaper and it was to celebrate Mark's 48th birthday on 12th August 1997.

This wasn't a wedding picture. I have the same picture which I cut out from a newspaper and it was to celebrate Mark's 48th birthday on 12th August 1997.
But February 14th is still their wedding day, isn't it? Anyway, that's why private life is private, I guess.

Surprising picture coming from someone who cares about privacy as hard as MK. I've always thought that date is a bit banal for a wedding, much like all the "special" wedding dates like 22.02.2022 or something, people pay ridiculous money to register their wedding on dates like that. And a wedding on Valentine's Day? I don't know... It's like dying on the day of the dead.

Yes, of course, they were married on February 14th 1997, but this picture isn't from then.

They got married in Barbados on Valentine´s day as far as I remember. I also remember pictures from newspapers of them in that Island, walking by the beach.

Just look at Mark's hair, you can tell it isn't recent. His hair is usually a good guide for dating a photo.
Between GH and STP for sure.

Lol I never even said it's a wedding picture, I just said it seems banal to me to set the wedding day on Valentine's Day, but it's private life so whatever. But his wife also presumably a huge fan of "twiddly bits" in Sultans, so it all makes sense.
As far as I recall, Bicknell said "MK was a romantic", related to the wedding date, when the piece of news about his wedding was post on MKNEWS site in 1997, so it always looked for me like it was MK's idea.
I also think that is weird they put on their social media a picture of their wedding, even being their 25th anniversay, I think that's private life after all.

That is a wedding picture, but not necessarily from the wedding itself. Looks like one of those pictures a photographer takes from they after or before the wedding.

Yes, you're right. I was looking at the photo again and I'm sure it was taken shortly after the wedding in Barbados and the newspaper used the picture for Mark's 48th birthday in August. In any case, Kitty was 6 months pregnant in August and she doesn't look as though she is in the picture. The description I have of the wedding is that Kitty wore a white lace gown and Mark wore a cream suit.

Maybe that picture they just released was taken months before the actual wedding, that's usual.

No, she wasn't pregnant in February, but she would have been in August if the picture was taken for Mark's birthday. So it had to have been taken shortly after the wedding.
This is what the newspaper says:
MARK'S BACK HOME WITH NEW BRIDE
"Dire Straits guitarist, Mark Knopfler, sports a City wideboy pin-striped suit to step out with new wife Kitty Aldridge.
The couple were celebrating Mark's 48th birthday in London. It was their first night on the town since their honeymoon. The millionaire rock star and third wife Kitty married on Valentine's Day in Barbados."

A friend of mine was pregnant recently and up until the 8th month, nobody would notice it. She even posted pictures and all! So I guess it depends. Anyway, that situation perfectly demonstrates that you do not want to know anything about the private life of your idols. In Russia, we have a saying that basically reads "everybody's masturbating as he wishes", no sexual context here, it just means that everybody lives their private life as they wish and nobody needs to comment on it, though it also means you don't want to announce it either...
In that regard, I think, my philosophy is pretty close to Englishmen with their extreme views on privacy.

Closest what you'll ever gonna get to Dire Straits reunion. But wait a minute, with Mark and John on stage this WAS Dire Straits reunion. But they had no balls to call it that, and went with Mark Knopfler and Friends instead, as if he had pints of beer with them on stage and not played music together.

MK did call it a DS reunion, but only afterwards. For a few years after when he would get the inevitable reunion question he would say they already did it for charity.
In the end Dire Straits was MK JI AC and GF but AC was not at those charity concerts. Why was that?

I thought the LOG-tour was the first to feature a custom Pete Cornish footboard, and everything was wired using effect loops (send/returns). So it shouldn't have been too hard to get rid of it. Industrial Disease features a wah-kind of sound as well, more a fixed position like MFN.

MK usually did that thing, knee on the floor, at the end of Tunnel of love.
I'd rather bet it's during Sultans, because Hal seems to have the Tele on this pic. not sure though
at the end of TOL, Mark had both knees on the floor
his attitude on this pic looks more like the one in Sultans at 9:14
https://youtu.be/8Pa9x9fZBtY?t=554
But I may be wrong, because usually (?) John still wears his jacket on sultans, and he doesn't on the pic
we should have it in colour to see the color of the guitar ;D

Even in black and white, it's pretty obvious to me that it's a telecaster.
Just compare the color of the strap on it and that of his pants and arms.
Telecasters are also thicker than strats ...

Hello, and welcome to the forum.
I'm afraid you're mistaken here. It's the Schecter Strat. Look at the white plate covering the tremolo cavity on the back and where the jack on the guitar lead goes.

Do you mean that Hal Lindes is playing a Telecaster?
For me it's quite clear that MK is playing a Schecter Strat.

yes indeed. it was a Fender
https://www.mk-guitar.com/2016/02/27/the-black-fender-strat-on-portobello-belle-on-the-love-over-gold-tour/
but it had a capo. And there's no capo on the picture
as Brunno said on FB, it must be lightning
and Hal's Guitar looks very much like tele. and as fa as I know he only played it on Sultans. I don't know what guitar he played on PB, but listening to his solo, it doesn't sound Tele

Or it is Hal's butterscotch blonde Telecaster as seen in the Alchemy video whilst playing Sultans and the lightning makes it look pink.
And for user "JF" It's not the same day as Alchemy because John is wearing a white shirt on this pic and a black one on Alchemy. MK's jacket is lightblue-ish on this pic an red on Alchemy etc.
+ I'm 99% sure this is the Sunburst Schecter Dream Machine because the black Strat for "Portobello Belle" is capo'ed on the 3rd fret.
I can't imagine the lightning making his Candy Apple Red Schecter look as black as John's bass.
Only song i could think of needing a wah on this tour is "Industrial Disease" and it's indeed in a fixed position like MFN (on the album at least, maybe MK used it for the end solo, who knows)

two different Telecasters.
Hal talk about this pink one on his FB account :

I said the same about capo on the black strat :)
during years I saw very strange colors on many pictures, due to the lightning
if it is the sunburst strat, then it's strange that Hal plays his telecaster... what song would it be ? :think
Post by: JF on March 02, 2022, 05:54:24 PM
Perhaps Mark would drop the capo to play the final solo during PB. It’s pretty plausible since the capo would prevent him from accessing the whole fretboard.
very strange to drop the capo during a song imho :think
Post by: JF on March 02, 2022, 05:56:38 PM
Regarding the wah pedal, it’s just there. That only means he used it during the gig, not necessarily during the song in which the pic was taken.
of course. never said that.
I just noticed there was a wah pedal and that I was surprised because I thought it was only played on it never rains, and that song was dropped from the setlist at the time the pic was taken.
but indeed it may have been used on industrial disease

and I don't think it's the sunburst strat because if it was the case you should see the sunburst tone on the back on the guitar body, not only one color like you see on the pic
and also, the plate on the sunburst strat is chromed/brass not white
I bet it's the red one and the lightning turns it to black on the picture

Not at all, pretty common actually. You use the capo in order to be able to play open chords further up the fretboard. Once you play a solo it becomes a barrier though as you can’t play notes behind the fret the capo is locked on. Get rid of it and reclaim full access to your fretboard. I’ve done it myself countless times when I played live back in the day.

I couldn't in my wildest dreams imagine asking for a photo with Mark on such an occasion.

It's only me or does MK looks a bit pissed in this pic? Kudos to the guys who can approach him though, I'd never ever have the nerve to approach MK if I saw him somewhere. I'm so much concerned about my own privacy that I never want to disturb someone else's privacy even if they're famous. Or maybe even especially if they are famous. I think it was discussed here before, but my favorite part is when you meet a celebrity and casually talk with a celebrity as if you don't know who he or she is, I think it's awesome even for them.

I've never asked for a photo but I did bump into MK (and his family) on the street in Hay on Wye and I asked him to sign my MK strat so I guess I'm just as bad.
I don't think it's bad, I actually think that I have some psychological problems going on, where I can't possibly approach people. Besides, Mark clearly understands that he's a guitar hero and changed the lives of millions, so getting asked for autographs and photos is a regular thing to him. But I won't do it anyway, haha. But it's also quite obvious I have a little chance to bump into MK anyway as I live in the 3rd world country :lol

He could have said no but he didn’t!
Post by: quizzaciously on May 17, 2022, 09:27:37 PM
I’d driven my wife and 8 week old baby 600 miles to see him, and carted a guitar neck in the hope of getting him to sign it. I had to make a split second decision to stop him or not. I kind of felt it was a once in a lifetime thing, bumping into your hero in the street so I went for it.
He could have said no but he didn’t!
I love all these stories, and how nice MK nearly always responds to these requests with dignity, making funny jokes or comments, he really digs it. I heard just a few stories when MK was angry with such requests, and usually, it was a situation when you clearly don't want to disturb people. In order to piss somebody like MK you need to be a grand champion of stupidity. That includes even working with him :lol

If I ever see Mark on the street, I will only come up to him if he isn't wearing those ugly trainer shoes he seems to use on every occasion.
He's at the point when comfort is over looks, I guess. My mom said trainers are the best type of shoes for elderly people, and even some of my peers have a strong bond with trainers. I, however, never had a single pair of trainers yet, but maybe, when I'm 72, I'll love them.

I saw him in London back in 2016. We were alone in the street and I was completed paralyzed, when I recohnized him. But I enjoyed the moment and didnt ask for an autograph or pic, as I was too shy :' however it was a very special moment for me and I wont forget it :)
I think this is a great point: even without signatures and photos is was still memorable. The photo or a signature will go on the shelf somewhere, to be seen once in a decade, but the memories are far better thing to own. And you certainly can't sell it on eBay :lol

I have a colage of pictures framed in my office room at home, in which I'm with MK, John, David, Hal, Alan, Guy, Chris White, Ed Bicknell, Phil Palmer and Danny Cummings...
During years attending MK concerts, I was lucky to meet all of them, and decided to take the risk and having a negative answer by them, but in the contrary, all of them were happy enough and some even very funny and kind. Including MK, and I was lucky enought that it was before the times where he only possed for pics inside his car.

So, what do you wear when you go out walking? I walk around 6 miles each day wearing trainers and if the terrain is going to be rough I wear boots. I'm just curious! :think

Oh, don't take it seriously superval, it was a joke. It's just that I've always associated MK with classy footwear over the years. I remember seeing him during the 2010 and 2015 tour and he was wearing a pair of beautiful browns, and also during the OES Tour. Now he just reminds me of an elementary school kid. I am terribly afraid that he will decide to do a few shows in 2023 and he'll be wearing a pair of green crocs.If I ever see Mark on the street, I will only come up to him if he isn't wearing those ugly trainer shoes he seems to use on every occasion.

Yes, I loved those brown boots that MK wore in 2010. :P Regarding trainers, everyone, young and old, wear trainers these days - I don't know anyone who doesn't and I just wondered what Quizzy wore instead. Incidentally, I just bought a new pair of trainers today - lightweight ones for the summer! ;D

I think Mark has never been really fit. Early on he was too skinny, only skin and bones. Then just a regular middle aged man. Now a regular 70+ club member.

Sorry for my bad English, when I mean "Doing sport" I was refering to the walking thing, actually what he and his wife do is what we called in Spain "Walk very fast".
As long as my friend says, you can see them doing that all days more or less after lunch time around Kings Road in Chelsea.
I remember when he had the bike accident, he said he was fit because he had a personal trainer that went to his house to train him. Obviously he doesn't have that trainer anymore.

I remember than in a Tina Turner documentary there was a very short scene of 4 or 5 seconds where you can see Hal Lindes and Alan Clark rehearsing with Turner's band for a short tour opening for Lionel Ritchie, if I recall well. I saw that Hal posted a small capture of that on his facebook.

A little belly is all right, as long as you don't have brewer's droop along with it! :lol
It can be removed easily by doing some sports, but if you hate sports as I hate it... Then you're in trouble.

boswellguitars
It’s been an amazing year here at Boswell Guitars. It’s left me with one word almost continually on my mind: gratitude. It wasn’t more than just a few years back that I had all but decided to stop building and go back to repair services full time. There was a time shortly before that where I had even considered leaving the guitar world entirely. But then, the strangest thing happened: it all turned around. Part of that is luck. But like the saying goes: “The hard work puts you where the luck can find you.” That saying has been resonating in my ears for many, many months now, and it’s the motivation I have needed at times when all I really wanted to do was just stop. Picture one is of Mark Knopfler (@markknopfler) playing his Boswell OM-K/T13 LTD, with his Boswell 0-14M/3S pictured in the background. He is currently recording a new album with both. I was incredibly fortunate to be paired with Mark by our mutual friend Rudy Pensa of Rudy’s Music (@rudysmusic). I like to refer to Rudy as the Architect. Pulling all the strings all because he’s so passionate about both guitars and music, and the people that make both. I feel so incredibly honored to know that Mark is creating on something that I made. It still blows my mind. The second and third pictures are of “my wall” in Rudy’s Scarsdale location. Again, gratitude. For having someone like Rudy believe in me and trust me and my work enough to put his stamp of approval on it for all to see. Then of course, the help I have back here in Bend, OR and my friend Adam Mendel (@joynerinstruments). This guy inspires me to push hard, and strive for greatness at all times. He’s always thinking of ways to help me and my builds, save my body from injury, and make things that just look incredible. Without Adam, there is no way I could be continuing to operate at the level I’m currently at. Gratitude. And of course, followers, likes, comments, and overall just positivity from supporters. Thank you to you all. In moments of self doubt, you have helped to keep me moving in the right direction. So, keep pushing, keep moving forward, keep believing in yourself. A very sincere Happy Holidays to everyone from Boswell Guitars!
P.S. That's $20,000 guitars. Quite nice :D

Well, David can have as many black Strats as he wants, so it's not informative. The lack of any description of the photo, however, is strange.

My original question was about the age of the place, but if memory serves me well, I remember seeing this "meme" more than 10 years ago. Close to 15 maybe.
I guess, if the place can survive for so long, it simply has to be good.

I totally recommend to pay a visit if you happen to be in Valencia, but hold your expectations because you're going to be disappointed if you expect something cool, big or refined. It's a small place with neighbourhood charm.

I'm no photoshop expert but if it's fake then it's a good one, the print on the fabric covers his body.
You can Photoshop that in about a minute, actually. Photoshop pros can do mind-blowing things equally mind-glowingly fast, this is the easiest of their tricks. Looks fake to me, especially since I remember MK playing in T-shirts in 2005, but not with prints like this.

The thing that makes it more suspicious is a NHB t-shirt in 2005. Last NHB gig was in 1999, 2002 if you consider the MK and friends gigs. Actually the guitars of the t-shirt remind me one t-shirt that was sold during those gigs.
However, doesn't makes sense.

Thanks, I got this from it:
This next point is also primarily for UK fans: The Notting Hillbillies are re-forming for a one-off charity concert on Sunday 3rd July at London's Grosvenor House Hotel. The proceeds are going to the Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust, and the Sue Harris Bone Marrow Campaign, which operate a register to link up donors with people requiring bone-marrow transplants. This event is NOT being organised by us, so PLEASE don't write to us for ticket information - we are nothing to do with it, we have just provided the band for the evening (which will be Mark, Brendan Croker, Steve Phillips, Marcus Cliffe, either Alan or Guy, and good ol' Ed Bicknell). Tickets are extortionately expensive (£125.00 and £75.00) because it's one of those events where the ticket price includes formal dinner, and obviously the charity want to make as much money as possible. As far as I know, the organisers are trying to sell complete tables of 10 rather than individual tickets, but if you do want information, the number you should call is 071 829 8455.
Post by: Jules on July 29, 2023, 04:18:10 PM

Picture posted a few weeks ago.
Not gonna lie, I cringe a little bit when I see these auctions selling boots. Now, I can understand selling a guitar, I don't get selling an autographed guitar because you don't have a connection and exchange of obtaining the signature, but signed boots?? I wonder what winners are going to do with these. Wear 'em themselves, put them under a glass display, or give them away? And why did Mark sign them right over the leather anyway? The first time he signed the soles, which makes a little bit more sense. So many questions, so few answers.
All for charity, all for good deeds. But I can see Daniel Craig's Shoes went for just £420, probably 4-5 times less than they cost in a store. Go figure.

Maybe are you taking things a bit too heartly ?
Well, I sure do. It's a no-brainer to do a little charity thing of selling some shoes, it's nothing for Mark and has an effect, but the questions I proposed are still relevant.
Would you buy a celebrity-worn shoes? I would not... A lot of people (not a lot judging by shockingly ultra-low selling prices) apparently would, so good for them.
They raised almost half a million pounds selling these, so I'm not criticising the cause, just questioning the items and idea itself a little bit. No worries.

I would not buy it either but if you did not ask me I would never felt the need to speak on it.
There is of course a part of worship in it but we all have our own part of worship.
If I was rich enough I would battle hard to get the MFN LP mine and this is 1000% worship. This is a seldom time in my life I really whished I was multi millionaire!

A friend of mine says probably this picture was taken the same day he and Brian Johnson took their picture to promote the TV show, but can't find that picture to prove it :smack
I answer myself, MK wears in that promo picture the same cap than Brian Johnson!

I think BJ just wears a traditional "flat cap" whereas MK wears the big "Peaky Blinders" thing.
I think the Peaky Blinders hats look very stupid but they are fashionable and I am not so what do I know :)

MK, on top of the world and playing with a hero.
JJ, laid back as ever, bemused to be sharing the stage with a guy who had led a band to be the biggest in the world by stealing his act. :)

Brings back good memories of this great tour.
Mark was in good shape and the stage lights extraordinary.
I never took any pictures of any show because I wanted to see him live and not through the lens of a cell phone. ;D
So I'm very grateful of any pictures nice people do share. :wave

He writes that this was taken on the start of the tour, but it doesn't look like it :lol I love them either way :) Do they think "I wonder how this will turn out"?
Just had to focus on something to smile about, after reading post after post after post about how terrible MK was during the OES tour. I *think* we got that now.

By all accounts (I personally heard) the BIA tour was a massive blast.
Regarding the quote above. I have no interest in repeating my point, but people keep contradicting it.
If people just accepted it was what it was.....we can all stop talking about it.
Which is 100% fine by me.

I have no idea what the band members are thinking in the picture. Chris White is a friend and I know what he thought at the beginning of the tour.
They rehearsed for the tour in Croatia, which is why he thinks the photo was taken before the shows actually began. At the point they thought it was a fairly standard tour like any other. The budget was fairly average, standard travel, standard hotels. The BIA album had not yet become a sensation.
As the tour went along, the venues and audiences grew larger, the album started to sell like hotcakes.
Mark was obviously thrilled and the band were all having a fantastic time riding a giant wave of success and going from a standard tour to a blockbuster arena and stadium tour.
It all ended on a massive high in Sydney Australia.

Someone asked me if I knew what they were thinking at the time and I just repeated stuff that Chris White has retold about the BIA tour.

Post by: Chris W on February 25, 2025, 11:49:45 AM
So, what are they thinking about in the picture? :-)
It was a rhetorical question then?
I thought it still added some value to write what I'd heard Chris White say of that time.

I would say more a Springsteen flavour
I remember reading a review of The division bell album, at the time of its release, and it said that several songs sounds like other artists :
- A great day for freedom --> Queen
- Take it back --> U2
- Coming back to life --> Dire Straits
- Lost fro words --> Bruce Springsteen
