Bob Dylan & Mark Knopfler Tour 2011

[tunnel85]

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.

Mk's set then Bob's set then Mark join Bob's band for the encores. Makes sense to me.

If they play together, it's like "buy a set of gold cufflings, and get a matching gold tie clip for free".

If they don't play together, it's like "buy a set of gold cufflings, and get a garden hose for free". (Whoever is the garden hose, depends whether you're in the Knopfler or Dylan camp.)

Of course it makes sense, otherwise we might as well have had two separate shows entirely!   I'm sure they'll come together for encores!       I just hope the BD fans don't make a nuisance of themselves during MK's part.

Personally it's going to be rude not to go and see MK as he is on my doorstep here in sunny Bournemouth, and am sure he will play along with BD otherwise there is no real point to the tour is there? I look at it this way that if the audience are true music fans they should appreciate both artists and really there shouldn't be any of 'Mark is better than Bob' or vice versa purely because they are both great in their own right!!!
Mind you if all else fails you can always have a sleep during BD's bit!!!!!

Just noticed on the Manchester MEN site that tickets will be on sale at 9am on Monday 18th July.  No mention of pre-sale tickets on MK.Com site yet!      Maybe we book direct with the venue?   Prices are

Pre - sale is great but for me I've been there & done that with & without success - i was front row mid stage, 6 feet away from MK for the emmy lou tour in Dublin WOW what a treat, for GL I got front row as well but I was way over at the side of the stage :oThey certainly werent the best seats in the world for pre-sale even though they were front row - I'd have been better off 10 rows back anywhere in the O2.
So my point is that for me,anywhere within 10 rows of the front are fine,plus you dont have a pain in  your neck either for a week after the gig from looking up rather than down

[superval99]

I was very pleased with my GL seats.  Dublin, Manchester and Brighton - front row just to the right of MK.  Bournemouth front row, but way over to the left, so I would have been better more to the centre, a row or two back, on that occasion.

My sentiments too.  I was the same at Glasgow for the GL tour;  front row but right at the side, even beyond Richard!  Also at Lucca I was front row again but that time beyond Glenn!  The pre-sale is a bad thing in my experience when you don't know where you are sitting.  I got a ticket for the RAH from an agency in the stalls, section "O" and it was the best view of the lot.

Guy has updated and uses the words "value" and "money" in relation with "concert" and "one hour". I find that very promising and cool. It seems the show will maybe take longer than two hours. He says he knows in fact that it won't be a two hour show.

Last time MK.com front row Hamburg, dead center (next to Isaac  ), London row eight or nine or something...

Me too, I'm probably being thick, but is it a pre sale
Or are these 9.00 on the 18th tix on sale to the general public too?
