I think chances for this are as high as chances for Paul Simon to invite Art Garfunkel for a couple of songs on his farewell tour.
As much as it would be as desirable for fans, judging by the state of their relationships it's almost impossible unfortunately.
That is surely much more likely as they have played together hundreds of times live since they split?
MK and JI only 4 times, 16 years ago, MK and DK once (?) 36 years ago?
It's more likely indeed, although they're now [Simon & Garfunkel]
really seems to be split forever, making strange and rude comments on each other (or rather from Garfunkel's side only, though), and moreover — struggling musically, again, more on Garfunkel's side of things. He's lost his voice and all and their 'last' reunion would be a disaster too big to just call it 'let's do it for one and final time'. I don't want that.
To me, the possibility of seeing old Mark together with old David, Alan, with all this 'grey hair' and stuff, this idea seems to me like something I would rather avoid seeng, because to me there's nothing worse than seeng an old musician who struggle to get his stuff together. It's like a boxer who stays in the ring for too long — you may believe in him, but you can't 'unsee' his endless struggling.
With that said, solo-wise both Paul Simon and Mark Knopfler are still going strong and I don't want to see them going back. What I meant was that I think Dire Straits in any lineup would struggle a great deal to get their stuff together and therefore it will be something I can't stand.
