I was awarded by our beloved Guy with a "This question has been deleted due to infringement of the current setlist rule'" by the following post:

As I read here that you and MK like to read some comments about the songs and the way you are playing them, I thought that you might be interested in know that there is a part of TR that the fans call "The Karaoke part". Its the instrumental part after this lyrics "Telegraph road was so deep and so wide, like a rolling river". Its called the "Karaoke part" because usually MK played a guitar solo on that part, or Chris White a saxophone part during the OES tour, but now there is nothing, just all of you playing in a "karaoke mode", like if someone must be playing something there, but nobody does.

His answer was "Jim plays a piano solo"

I dont know if my post was a "setlist post" and I

That answer is what is known as a "cop-out!"   Sure, Jim is playing but he is hardly soloing by any stretch of the imagination.

You can also say that Glenn Worf is playing a bass solo, or that the Macs are playing cittern solos....

Actually you can say that in that karaoke part, everybody is playing a solo. All at the same time, but their own solos.

What a funny little man

...and meanwhile the audience are playing "sitting in their chairs falling asleep" solos!

Losers... 

Look at my question about DVD/BR when answered, if answered... 

Somewhere over the rainbow matches XXX city?

The red Schecter Telecaster can be seen on a pic from Guy. Will we get Walk Of Life or Cannibals? Why would he take such an instrument with him if he doesn't play the songs he doesn't use the guitar one? The guitar is ,imho, too expensive for that and valuable and I think MK shares that opinion

He plays that one on Seattlle if I'm correct.

no, on Seattle he plays a sig strat :
 
for that Marvin sound, he has to play it on a strat with atremolo arm, he can't do it on a Tele

When I saw the red tele on Guy's diary I thought the same : why did he bring on tour ? I think it can be a spare one for father and son if the 68 sunburst has some troubles ?
Or maybe, when going on tour, he kept all possibilities, including all song that "COULD" be played 

[Vesper]

Could someone list all the guitars on the picture?

[foma]

Here's how I can see it (from L to R):
Martin 000-40S, Martin 000-40S, National Style-O, 1958 Gibson Les Paul, 1959 Gibson Les Paul, Pensa Custom, Burns 12-string, Schecter Red Tele, 1954 Fender Blond Tele, 1966 Fender Sunburst Tele, 1965 Fender White Strat, 2003 Fender MK Signature Strat, 2003 Fender MK Signature Strat, Reverend, Danelectro, 1961 Fender Strat, Beltona Resonator

[Dutchessy]

Maybe cannibals is one of the 36 rehearsed songs.

- the Fender White Strat is Pre-CBS, Ingo says it is from 1964, not 1965 :

- By "reverend", I think you mean the Don Grosh Electrajet ?
http://www.mk-guitar.com/2010/08/31/mark-knopflers-grosh-electrajet/

- I don't think the 3rd red strat is the 61 one. I think it's another sig one.
he played 4 sig strats on GL tour, so I don't think he brings the '61 on tour anymore :

- strange we don't see the new blue pensa with P90 (the one used on KOG) on the picture. Maybe is it the free slot near the pensa custom ?

Of course he can bring a vintage Schecter Tele as a backup. He's Mark Knopfler for God's sake!

His Markness has probably three of them if you watch from that point of view;D
