Bob Dylan & Mark Knopfler Tour 2011

The way I see it, we still don't have anything official that he actually will join. Bob's page have shared the news of a tour, but if Mark was supposed to be on it, why dosen't it say so?

I just don't see how this is meant to work, Bob has fixed dates all through July, August, all September off, and dates through October and November, so, if Mark was to be there, it would just be as a guest, not a proper double billing tour like he did with EmmyLou, maybe Bob is recording in September, and Mark will be involved in that, remember Mark has said in the past he tours around his kids schooling, so that would only give him August to join Bob on stage.

Special guest means just that.He will probably play a few songs with him each night or be a member of the band with some highlighted bits.I don't see him doing an hour on his own at the beginning of the show.This is being billed as BD show not BD and MK.
Why Mark is doing this who knows.Seems a very heavy tour schedule can see MK getting irritated early on and leaving.
Oh and no London shows ,not that i am bitter or anything

30 dates isn't something that should irritating MK much in my opinion. I think he needs at least 20 to get warm... He is used to do much heavier schedules, and it is all without too much far travelling. Germany/Europe is easy to do for them.

You could be right about the special guest, though.

Surely MK wouldn't have postponed mixing his album and delay it's release for only a small role in BD's tour, would he?   There must be more to this than we think.  Perhaps they are still discussing how much MK wil be involved before finally announcing the details officially.

i am more worried about the quality of BD than MK due to the tour schedule should have made it clearer.Even so still a lot of travelling involved,hard to see why he would do it if he wasn't the main man.

[Love Expresso]

Ah, ok!

Well, Bob knows a thing or two about touring, too! But it IS surprising indeed how a 70 year old fellow is really going for this thing. Admirable.

The Danish music page Gaffa.dk writes that Bob will be touring this autumn, and that the rumors say that Mark will join him on parts of the tour... Maybe that's the case?

[Dutchessy]

parts... Hmm

[tunnel85]

If it's only parts, we're gonna be in big trouble !
Apart from Pottel, I don't see many MK fans ready to do more than one or two shows.

[Pottel]

correct T85 :-)

[Darling Pretty]

Yes. We will see each other.

Maiden? Just for fun. They are cool. But MK rules.

We met last time, Remember?

Jepp. Sure. Was a pleasure

[Best Brown Baggies]

Come on the powers that be......
WE NEED SOME CONFORMATION.... NOW!!!!

I can't stand the uncertainty anymore!!!

Cheers. BBB
