Mark and Bob in the ol' USA

[panzerdriver]

Okay, through whatever problem caused my being dropped **AGAIN** out of the system, I am now panzerdriver (don't ask). Everybody here who knows me knows me as Jacki or jcser. So I'm back....

Now to business. It was announced on MSN that MK and Bob are DEFINITELY going to be doing a tour in the US this year. Am I being incredibly redundant and out-of-the-loop or has this been discussed already? I am not above being so numb to events that this announcement, given by Guy or someone else, went right by me. So does anybody know for sure? Is there any kind of a schedule yet? Venues? Someone be kind to a vague old lady and drop a few words here please.

Hi Jacki, jcser, panzerdriver or whatever - welcome back!   It's great to have you here again!

Hey, interesting nickname! What's the story behind it? Hehe  

Nothing official yet about the Bob & Mark US summer tour 2012. I hope they won't do it... First, I couldn't go the US and see them, second, I saw them twice last year and Number three it would delay the release of MK's new album... So please, not another Mark & Bob tour. New album instead, please!

This is what Panzerdriver is referring to...http://music.msn.com/2012-new-music-guide-major-tours/photo-gallery/feature/?photoidx=5. Not sure how something like this would appear on a site like MSN with no validity to it..but one never knows.

LE, how could you say something soo unfair like that   We want a share of the experience you guys had with MK/BD.  I'm soo excited already if the news is true.  The new album can wait.

[Pottel]

i would be happy to get another shitload of recordings, even if i would not be able to go see them. the album WILL come some day and a tour WILL follow, so why the fuzz, as long as my man is on a stage i do not care. and the advantage with Dylan is that he is not predictable as MK is and that will force him to come out of the safe zone. cool....

[Hophead]

If this proves to be true (which may take a while to get the 'official' announcement)..I don't see why it would delay the release of the new album..the album should be just about finished by now. If anything..they may decide to step up the release date to coincide with the summer tour..if there is one.

[Love Expresso]

You're all right of course. I am happy for the US people who weren't able to participate the last tour. And Pottel, touring with Bob is better of course than doing nothing, you are right. Whereas I am not so sure if MK really came out of his comfort zone last time...   But as long as the quality of his show will increasing like it did at the last little tour, it will be fine with me. It seems I was in a "funny" mood yesterday evening...  (How comes....)

Dan - as you've probably heard me say a few times, I'm woefully inept at puters...and for whatever reason, the last time I tried one of the other accounts (and of course I had forgotten my password), I could not access the 'Forgot your password?' feature...so in frustration (because I really wanted news) I started ANOTHER account. Getting to be a clutterbug in my dotage!

[vgonis]

Dan I have a similar problem. I am just lucky that my password is saved by the computer I use. I can only post from this computer only! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[DIFFICULTTOBELIEVE]

I think this tour will happen. The Europe tour was a big success and MK and BD clearly enjoyed it. Because Bob likes breaks between shows, it could take a long time to cover the US! Perhaps MK will have to go South, where he doesn't usually play.

[vgonis]

I don't know how much success has anything to do with it. The venues, I've heard, were not packed, and there was too much going after Knopfler part and coming fr the Dylan show. And a lot of people preferred missing Dylan, no matter if Knopfler played. At least that is what I understood. I guess Knopfler and Dylan fans are not that compatible.

Sounds a bit strange to me that people who are Knopfler fans rush out of the concert venue only to avoid hearing Dylan on stage, even though they might miss a duet or two. What's the hurry? How bad can it be? It is still Dylan, so if I got the chance, even though I don't know his music that much, I would definitely cancel all other plans that night and give it a shot. He is one of Mark's inspirations..

VGONIS2002 and panzerdriver: I will try to recreate the issues you are experiencing, but they sound like separate issues. SMF is certainly not perfect software, but I'm kind of surprised at this. This is the first time I'm hearing of a major issue with logging in.

Anyway, I have a vested interest a US tour and I really hope it happens. The thought of seeing MK this summer is amazing, although the thought of listening to BD again at ear piercing volume is......
