Bob Dylan & Mark Knopfler Tour 2011

[Love Expresso]

@Goldenheart:
There is a O2more.First Ticket pre-sale two days earlier, starting on July, 18th. Haven't worked out yet what I have to do to get them..

And on the MLK site (Marek Lieberberg Konzertagentur) there is a press-kit,

click on Press-Kit.

It says that "both artists and their formations will do one half of the concert each".
So this is the first time I read a "real" information. Seems Mark will play more than two songs then.

The two song thing was hypothetical, I KNOW that. But it could be true. I just followed that thought, And LE, I am not sure yet. I will probably go to Mannheim. It's MK onstage after all.

Join me again in Mannheim 

me too this time, if work schedule allows me

[Fletch]

God, I just got back from a weeks holiday to hear all this news!

I'm seriously considering flying out on my own to catch one of these shows - once in a lifetime moment I reckon! Where would be the most concentrated members of AMIT be?

[ingridswing]

Hi Fletch,
Normally it's London, but now I can't tell which concert would be then most visited by AMIT-members.
Can someone set up a poll? But it has to be one where you can choose more dates, because I guess a lot of us won't do only one 

[Fletch]

I've just seen all the dots on the MK website. Nottingham, Germany or Italy look appealing, lol!
I haven't the foggiest idea how to go about this, how do you buy a ticket? I've got loads of frequent flyer points that will get me there though, and I've just run the idea by my wife, and she didn't slap me or throw anything.
Are you going Ian? This is a must I reckon.

[Best Brown Baggies]

Hey Fletch, i'll be going to Nottingham as it's the closest to me.
So if you decide to go (You can't miss it) then i'd be happy to meet up with you.

BTW. @ Ingrid. Me & Tina will be in Amsterdam on Sun/Mon to see Take That (not my choice, a Christmas present for the wife)!!
It is at the Ajax football stadium.

Cheers  BBB

Ha, as always, we have to figure out the informations by ourselves and can't rely on MKNews.com... Wonder why I'm still surprised... 
'kay then, I will try that O2more thing... Who knows, maybe this will be the "fan presale", LOL!
Glad to hear about the "each will do one set" thing

I asked Guy a question about sets.  His reply:

All I know is that we are going on stage first and will do our set, then Bob comes on with his band. As to whether the two shall meet...we don't know yet.

[dmg]

I guess I'm fortunate in having two shows only 40 miles along the road but after all the build-up and excitement over MK getting on the road again, now suddenly I'm slightly less enamoured by it all.  

Firstly would have liked MK to play on Dylans songs like he did on Claptons in the late 80s as well as playing his own.  

Secondly not being a Dylan fan I'm not bothered about his set once MK is finished so I think it would be better if the songs were mixed (obviously the band would be mixed too in that case).  It would also mean we might have the problem of Dylan fans not bothered about MK arriving throughout his set taking their seats or talking etc.  

Thirdly MK's band line-up suggests the songs we will be getting and they will be sending me to sleep.  What It Is and Philadelphia are bankers, Marbletown probably too.  I really think that since they know it will be mostly MK die hards there they could play some lesser played or never before played tunes instead of being steady Eddie all the time.  Come on, give us a treat!

Like others have said - im in two minds with this one...

Yes on the one hand this is MK and how often does he tour - would be great to catch him live....

BUT - you can almost predict the set list and thats dissapointing....

Decisions....

[ingridswing]

Nigel!!! You are telling me this now 
I texted you.

[Banjo99uk]

Yes, what to do, what to do? Especially as the South of England only has one date.  Do I want to spend my hard earned on hearing STP etc again.

[koobaa]

If MK does not get to play on at least few Dylan's songs this tour makes little sense to me. Two separate sets, two bands, two hours. Why bother if they don't get to share the stage? There's gotta be more to it than just two separate sets. I hope.
