Mark Knopfler & Bob Dylan: MAYBE a 2012 summer tour????

[Jules]

Well, as many of you already read here:

It looks like they are gonna tour the US this summer. I asked Guy at his forum.

 I decided to open this new thread. Moderators feel free to move it where you think its correct.

Guy has now deleted the post!   

[Jules]

Yes, he sent me an e-mail about it, very polite, and I understand why he did. I modified my posts in asnwer to his polite mail.

From now its a just a rumour. I also read about Tom Petty touring with Bob this summer, so maybe I was too fast opening this thread.

I'm pretty sure that it will happen, [....]

I'm surprised at this- I assumed that Mark would want to concentrate on promoting his forthcoming album and do a major solo tour rather than play the supporting role again. Though I must say I'd be very happy to hear more songs done together.

If its a summer tour, it wont affect...

Lets play 

- February / March: Finish the record, mastering etc
- March / April / May: recording the film score
- June / July /August: touring the US with Dylan
- September: release the new record
- October / November / December: promos, showcases etc
- spring 2013, tour.

[Justme]

Yeah, I'm gonna try to play that game, too:

- February / March: Finish the record, mastering etc
- March / April / May: new album and promos, showcases etc
- June / July : recording the film score
- August: holiday
- September/October: touring with you-know-who
- October / November / December: holiday
- spring 2013, tour

I know, it's highly unlikely, because of that gap between a release in March and the consecutive tour in 2013....

If he does tour, what's the betting the set will be the same!

yep since 2005, but hey all the legends do it when they get old.

[Pottel]

nope, dylan doesn't. nor Gilmour

[dustyvalentino]

Julio, did Guy email you after reading this thread?

[Jules]

I don't know if he read this thread, he mailed me after delete my question in his forum.

[Dutchessy]

GF:

We will be touring.... I'm thinking you will not be disappointed but obviously I cannot give ANY details...yet.

AND

There will be plenty of live dates, be assured of that.

[Jules]

Looks like Guy had second thoughts, after second thoughts. After delete my question and his answer, he has posted similar questions with similar answers suggesting that "something might/may happen".

[Fletch]

Cool! If Bob is involved again, that means we can't rule out a tour of Australia, as he comes out here a fair bit!! Woo hoo!!!!
