[superval99]

... I might add "Before Trash MTV" LE

Oh, no, I forgot - I would like that one too!

And Silverstone Blues, another racing car related song.

Is Mark Knopfler playing at that gig at the Royal Albert Hall with The Straits?

However, its very likely that MK never play that song, more likely that MK plays with The Straits at that gig

Remember Munich 2001.
And who had bet on HFB (or even Devil Baby) for the KTGC tour?

[Love Expresso]

Well, Munich 2001 is the reason why he did NOT play it because he wasn't happy with that attempt. I think the song died at that soundcheck! Who knows how many other great songs died at any other rehearsals/soundchecks... Guy will never tell us...

[Jules]

Portobello belle also died at the very same soundcheck 

I wish The Straits would play it

They're looking at it wrong though;  they should treat the songs as a challenge and not just give up after a couple of attempts.  Remember on the STP tour if I remember correctly Guy said they only were finally happy with Speedway by the Denver concert or something?  That's the kind of attitude they should be taking.  He could always introduce it by saying "this is an attempt at..." or "we're going to have a swing at..." anyway - he usually does!

I think Mark wants it perfectly played... And not trying to play it perfect.

No such thing as perfection though.

[ds1984]

If mark think that Silvertown Blues is a great song, it's still alive, just waiting to find the right treatment/mood to play it.
For example if Mark convice Vince and some extra choir to be part of a tour...

[dmg]

Listened to it the other night and Silvertown is a great song but cries out for a solo at the end.  Perfect live song.  It's as though he played it that way so that they could astound the audience live!

Forgive my ignorance, but who is Vince?          Vince Gill perhaps.
