Joop de Korte interview
« on: March 27, 2012, 02:14:24 PM »
When Alchemy was released on dvd/blueray I made an interview to Joop de Korte to be published in Spanish City Website as a kind of promotion, but a lot of stuff happened that made me filed that interview.

I considered that it was very interesting so I rescued the interview and its gonna be published in the Spanish City Website in spanish today.

I made a version in english and upload it to an old site of mine, as put the html code here was a nightmare, so here you have the link, I hope you enjoy it, comments are more than welcome, as I think the info he gives is very interesting:

Thanks for that interview, it was really interesting stuff, I learnt a lot about Joop De Korte that I never knew, and it is interesting to see how his life has gone on, I wonder if he bumped into Mark again on Letterman, I'm sure Mark has played on Letterman as a solo artist.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

Thanks, jbaent, for that very interesting interview.  I didn't realise that Joop de Korte was involved with the band for so long.  
btw Did I dream it, or did Joop de Korte also have another name - Tommy Mandel?   ???

Someone said something like that in Wikipedia, but we know Joop and Tommy are different people  :lol

Thanks jbaent for the interview!! Very very interesting, read it in one breath. It finally cleared things up with Joop, wonder why DS never did it.

But I'm cool in the zone

Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing jbaent. Judging from how the questions flow from what he said it looks like you actually got to talk with him and did not just exchange e-mails. Can you shed some light how that happened? Does he still live in the Basque country?
...Well, he's a big star now but I've been a fan of his for years. The way he sings and plays guitar still bring me to tears...

Very interesting interview. Thank you very much for your effort, JBaent. So Joop de Korte is the guy who made the famous introduction on the Alchemy concert  - I never made clearly out what exactly he was saying though (My guess is "Good night ladies and gentlemen, would you please welcome on stage - DIRE! STRAITS!" )  ?

Hi Pottel - When I click on to the link it says "Oops page not found", but I pressed the back to AMIT arrow and it came up!

Dont worry, as soon as I get home tonight I will upload it again and will provide you a link. I uploaded it to an old account I had from my university years. Maybe the unusual number of visits reminded someone that they should had deleted the account long ago, LOL

ps: Looks like its the university server who is down and I doubt very much its because of me  ;D

Now it works...

As I said, looks like it was a server problem. Enjoy it!
