I love purple and always thought of that as the forgotten Pensa.  In the guitar Stories documentary they discussed with Rudy going to the café and jotting down notes on a napkin before announcing the flame maple MK1 as the very first Pensa-Suhr, however he used this on tour with EC at least whole year before that.  He certainly had it in January '87 for the RAH shows, whereas the MK1 debuted at the Prince's Trust Gala on 6th June '88.

The first picture shows the "sex, drugs and rock'n'roll" attitude  (3 cigarette packings and a bottle of vodka)

Hi!  Sometimes “Internet” drive you for unusual and mysterious ways  to unexpected results… Family moments. Mark and his daughter Isabella and Isabella under DS plaque in Depfort some years later.

How dare you upload this ? This is too personal for AMIT Please delete the thread
Just kidding, but somehow always someone would post something like that, unfortunately.

Well, As I told in my post, I don’t remember the number of pages I opened during that session. I wrote: “Mark knopfler portrait “ and simply I opened one web, and another, and another and another and so on and suddenly I saw the first picture and the second one in another blog page. I thought that it would be cool to share these pictures but if Any AMIT moderator thinks it’s wrong to share them, say something and I’ll delete them!

The first one has been on facebook months ago. Not sure who published it online in the first place, it probably is a Insta-pic and obviously from close family or friends. Both daughters seems to be proud of their father  Katya sure looked proud when she stood next him at Chalke Valley History festival last year when he signed autographs

Oh, those terrible striped trousers. Hope they will never come back into fashion.

You have to understand and accept that Dire Straits peaked exactly in the heyday of bad taste, in the mid-eighties. If you look at the clothes alone, that can be fun now, as these great pictures show. More importantly, though, the bad-taste fiesta also took its toll on the music. Some of it, I'm afraid to say, has survived until this very day, in Guy's synths and keyboard playing ...

Yes, I have a vivid recollection of distinctive features of 80s. All that 'splendor' coincided with my first experience of being in love and I used tons of radiant make-up to look as beautiful as possible.
