Mark and Bob in the ol' USA

[Jules]

And it's official: http://www.bobdylan.com/tour

Did anyone asked Guy about the South American dates?

[superval99]

From Guy's forum on 13th February:

Hi, there any tiny chance that the next tour comes to south america? or I rule out this possibility?... sorry for asking such a direct question but the intrigue is killing me. Thanks guy

Guy:     Sorry but I don't know the touring schedule as yet although there is planning underway

I was about to add Santiago to the Dylan tour list when I saw the link to Dylan's own website. Thanks, Superval.

In Peru, there is a rumour that he will play there. If I'm right, then this will be the first time Dylan has played there and he likes to go to new places, so it's possible.

No sources mention MK, I'm afraid.

Seems the Summer West Coast USA tour with Mark is a go, but I do not believe he will be joining Bob in South America.

Let's hope we get the Summer dates soon; well, sooner than later

Just in from Guy:

Q: Bob Dylan dates in South America were announced in his official site, and MK is not mentioned at all, so, am I right if I say MK & Band wont tour South America with Bob? I guess so, a later announcement will be very unfair to all the MK fans there that missed their chance to buy good tickets... early sale start at february 27th.

A: That's correct, we are not touring South America with Mr. Bob

Since these words sound Greek to you and I happen to be Greek, I will translate to plain English.

"Be certain that we will not be touring the South continent of America with Bob Dylan, but we might do it alone! We might also tour North America with Bob (Seger), or then again we might not do it with Bob, or at all. As for Europe you did not ask, so why should you expect any answer at all? "

(It is like the Pythian saying for those that asked if they will return alive from Troy. It went a little like this: "You will go and return you won't  die in the war." It all depended on the placement of the comma.  (You will go and return, you won't die in the war / You will go and return you won't, -you'll-die in the war) .

[emilianomk]

its my subjetive point of view for waiting mark in S.A or maybe that answer means that mark will touring alone in S.A.
I remember also a answer from guy from a question complaining about playing one hour show, he answer "you will get your wish"

Update: "These concerts (South America) are not double-headers and do not include Mark Knopfler. Shows to include Mark Knopfler are being talked about for North America in late (October / November) 2012. However, these dates are still very much at the planning stage. "

Just to clarify things: From where is this update, and how "official" is it?

Thanks, Val! But is this official? I don't know what ISIS is to be honest. I had the idea that these shows "being talked about for North America" as well could have been come from here, because WE were talking about it... Has ISIS any connection to Bob's management? Or is it fan-based?

Or, in other words: Does ISIS have a Terry K.?
