Concert #1:2011.10.06, o2 Arena, Dublin, Ireland #SPOILER AHEAD!!

[ds1984]

Guy says that they are recording every show - like they always do. I suppose it dosen't mean anything...

They are security backup to Simfy recording.

As Simfy is not recording this time all we can hope is some excerpts see the light as bonuses for the next album (like for the TRD 2 cd edition and cd single)

[Pottel]

second song was called conred beef city, according to guy...

It definitely sounds like something MK would write about!

A UK version of Balony Again???

[Love Expresso]

Sounds absolutely as a "Get Lucky" leftover. There is no doubt that the song is really about this area, everything a good Knopfler tune needs is there - historical content, the depression of the poor people and so on... Would be nice to have the lyrics...

Hey Pottel, if you happen to know how long did Bob's part last, it would be helpful. 

if it'a not answered yet, bob was a little more than 1 1/2 hour

[Rollergirl]

any reviews in the Irish press?

[ingridswing]

Didn't check the irish newspapers. The weather today was great so i enjoyed some shopping and sitting on a terrace

[Love Expresso]

I actually find it very interesting that Sultans is not in the set list. Thinking about Ian Thomas for me it was always clear that I would judge him by the way he would play Sultans of course. Seems to be the absolute (drummer's) reference song. But while I guess that Coyote, What It Is and maybe Donegan's Gone will show up during the next shows, I am quite sure that Romeo and/or Sultans will not see the light of day on this tour.

I'm a massive Dylan fan, good to hear that most people enjoyed the gig-unfortunately I can't make any of the shows on this tour but I think Bob & Mark is a great combination. I'll never understand why some Bob fans dislike Mark, he's a wonderful guitarist and a brilliant songwriter. I wouldn't pay much attention to some of the sarcastic/rude posts on the ER forum, it's pretty obvious that Dylan & Knopfler have a lot of respect for each other and that's all that matters.
For the people who are seeing Dylan live for the first time I'd say don't be concerned by Bob not talking to the audience, he has hardly ever done that but it doesn't mean that he's bored and just going through the motions, it's just the way he is!

[Fieneke2]

First of all

[ds1984]

Welcome MarkB

[MarkB]

Thanks

[Fletch]

very happy to welcome you here arabia. and happy to see your open mind to all things MK, as that certainly is not the case over at ER.
i am a fan of both artists, and it pains me to see these ignorant comments.

I think ignorance is the key word. While either artist may not be anothers cup of tea, they both deliver in their own way IMO. I knew nothing post DS of Mark two weeks ago but after diving in to his solo stuff I'm inthralled and can't wait to see him. I'm actually fine with no DS songs for as with Dylan, I think their current bands sound best doing the more recent material.

Here's hoping there will be more converts along the way!

Words from the wise! And from MarkB also.

This is what it's all about, dedicated fans discovering more about an artist than they were aware of before.
Not everything is to everyones taste, but there is much ignorance in the world (as the Irish would say.)
