I mean, MK, JI, GF along with CW. Who else was missing in that lineup for it to not have been Dire Straits?
DC was there as well
From memory at the Beaulieu gig the 2nd half they were introduced as Dire Straits.
What an evening...

Let’s face it, we all got tricked into thinking the Henrik Hansen documentary would be released at some point.

Mark Knopfler Discussion Forum / Re: Special Q & A with Ed Bicknell - DISCUSSION THREAD
« Last post by Jules on July 09, 2025, 11:52:40 AM »I know it's a necro post here, but there are a few questions I hope that Ed could maybe answer if he sees this thread:
What's your take on the drummer switch from Terry Williams to Omar Hakim during Brothers in Arms?
There are varying stories on how this happened... Terry said he wasn't happy with his playing, as playing to a click hindered his rhythmic feel. Neil Dorfsman, on the other hand, says he felt the drums were a problem and had to break the news to Terry... He added that no click tracks were used at all so Omar had a difficult job to re-do the drums anyway. Confusing, right?
Given one month was spent writing and three months recording BIA, did a lot of the songs change in the studio from the rehearsals?
As far as mixing went, was BIA finished in New York or finished at AIR Studios in London? The LP credits seem to differ to what Neil's recollections are on that one. Neil was probably thinking of On Every Street when he said they mixed in London, but I could be wrong...
Cheers!
As far as I recall, all those questions were already answered.
Where, may I ask??
Most of it, it's here:
https://www.amarkintime.org/forum/index.php?topic=8945.0
I think there are bits and bobs here and there, but I guess you would find all or most of it in that thread.

« Last post by Singlehandedsailor93 on July 09, 2025, 10:25:08 AM »I think if DS would have reunited at some point, around STP time 2000 would be ideal! A final onetime concert? Sure live 8 2005 would be cool! After that i feel MK became too old to really do the whole ds thing! My dream lineup for a final show in 2005 would be MK ofc, John, Guy, Alan, Pick, Hal, Chris! Love Alan Clark's work! Tho he seems to be problematic over the years! A shame really his work on Love Over Gold my favourite album is wonderful! When i see the lineup of festivals this year i get really sad, thinking about how music have fallen off! I mean Charli XCX with her massive use of autotune is the biggest act in Glastonbury!
