Bob Dylan & Mark Knopfler Tour 2011

You don't think MK will go on tour with his own musicians and then only play a couple of songs. I don't think so. Just wishful thinking for the Dylan-fans who are in my opinion pretty negative.

Before I plan anything I want to have some more information. What is MK gonna play and what BD.
Don't want the songs but a time.

Like 1 hour MK and 1 hour BD! And 1 hour in MK time is eeehhm 8 songs? I don't like the idea!

Precisely, Ingrid.  Why would MK go to the trouble of gathering together all the musicians in the band from US and around UK for a short opening set!   It doesn't make sense.

That is just what I feel. And we really don

Feel like a kid looking through the window watching everyone else having fun whilst i'm stuck at home.Why no London date? and for that matter no spanish dates?

[Love Expresso]

Oh, London is always worth travelling, isn't it? What about Tattooine, why the heck did he never play there...
Sorry, couldn't resist.... Where are you from, if you don't mind?

But then what's the point of this tour? And why does he postpone his album release if he will only play one or two songs with Dylan?

Dylan is like God for MK. Like Chet Atkins or Hank Marvin. That's it.

Well but if he only wants to play one or two songs with his "God" he could invite him over to British Grove for a jam session...

If one of the  songs he sings with BD is "Blind Willie McTell" it will all be worthwhile!

In the music business artists are proud 'to share the bill' with someone who is/was famous...

True but after all it's just a nostalgia hype and a way to earn money...

For MK, I'm sure that playing with Bob is far more important than the money.   It is the pride of playing with his hero that matters!
