MK and DS pictures

Love his slide playing and love that guitar. I got one in the summer (red though not black. Consoling myself with the fact that it makes me a bit like MK and a bit like Hank Marvin too…)

Oh yeah, Mark's slide playing is so tasty! I've heard a lot of slide players, and while many of them are extremely technically skilled, Mark, as always, goes out and blow them out of the water with a couple of notes. And within his own songs too!

Danelectro's are pretty cheap also, even vintage ones, which is a nice addition indeed.

Sonny Landreth is the top for me.

When I hear Mark play slide, it reminds me more of George Harrison than Chris Rea.

If you want to hear the tastiest slide playing on the planet, check out Jack Pearson, the man is a monster player:

JB is a pretty good player of slide too..

it is just that the Beaulie concert that i attended was even better :-)

why ?

Actually in Beaulieu MK had problems with his voice, he was having warm drinks during all the show. I also think the London ones were better.

The atmosphere in London on the 1st night was about the best I've experienced.  When the first notes of WOL started and big John walked on the roof lifted off!

Yes, and I remember this as if it were yesterday 

i still found the whole evening in Beaulie to be very magical.
also, it was the very last time "Dire Straits" performed together :-)

I guess that the venue itself was part of the magic but I wasn't there so I can't say. Musically speaking I've always felt that the third night was the best. Was it because it was recorded, I don't know?

I agree with the last Straits thing, up to now and probably forever.

If those guys had toured, I would've done the whole tour . My guess is that the RPD 2003 tour would have been close if you consider the line-up but it had never happened so... we will never know.

This one has probably been seen a hundred times already but I thought that maybe it was worthy of interest because I took it from the official Communique Tour programme. Rather poor pic but the paper is glossy 

[Love Expresso]

Cool Pic but to be honest I am much more interested in the complete text from the other page

It's why I left the right page lol. I could scan the whole program if I have some free time.
