Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits: Tracing the Evolution of Their Live Setlists

[Pottel]

Of course I remember that 2008 was a bit of an exception as he performed more tracks from TRD than KTGC itself.

I remember meeting you for the first time at The Heineken, ds1984, and we both agreed that this was really TRD tour.   

aaah,...heineken music hall in 2008....good times..

I think 2001 setlist is peak, just because STP, junkie doll and SaN, but 1996 in terms of guitar chops is totally peak for me.

A pro recording from the GH tour, mixed by Guy now, would have been amazing. Mark at his peak guitarwise. Plus he had an energy and freshness to him at the time.

... or someone else with a lot of experience in doing this stuff. Imagine Chuck would get his hands (and ears) on it..

I would rather have the Madrid STP 2001 audio as an official release, thankfully we've plenty of 1996 SB stuff
