Oh, nearly missed this today... This is so poor. I never liked Alan Clark to be honest but this really is evidence for what I can understand better now than ever: That GUY is in the band today and that Mark doesn't want to have dealings with Alan Clark anymore. Mark was the one who created the music - and they were giving their contributions to it, but without MK, Dire Straits never would have happened. And to play songs the same way than 1992 is something totally different as writing them and creating them and forming them into live versions. So Mark really has moved on. I was never more aware of that often used phrase than after seeing this poor statement. And Two Young Lovers was a b-side ahammm. It was also on the best live album of all times, but these guys seem better to forget the Alchemy album... I can't blame them for that... contains too much guitar divinity...
Just compare the two guys: Have a look again at the "Life In Songs" documentary where Mark talks about his stuff and look at these guys. Says it all.
Privateering!
