#86 DTRW TOUR - Sep 25 2019 - Madison Square Garden, NYC, NY, US(w.Bonnie Raitt)

[vancip]

Perfect opportunity for DVD/Blu Ray at such a iconic venue? First time he's played there since 1992

Rome, maybe? Two setlists in the same venue to pick the best performance from .. they have to wear
 same shirts but It doesn't seem an issue

It's also on MK's site....

Perhaps more likely but remember On the Night contained performances from both Nimes and Rotterdam.

I suspect she'll make an appearance during the show too as she did in LA in 2001.  Prairie Wedding maybe?

Yes, like Sonny Landreth did when he opened for MK in France some tours ago...

 

Okay, but Mark doesn't enjoy other guitarists on stage with him these days.  Someone providing additional vocals is another story.

You don't know Bonnie Raitt, do you?

She's essentially the same than Sonny Landreth...

Wait, what?? 

[Tobben]

I understand from MKs site that it’s a show with Bonnie as guest, but on Bonnies site it’s only opening..? I hope she turns up as a guest. That would be great! If they could do one of her songs too, like they did with James Taylor back in 2001 (Raised Up Family)..

Yes in a much prettier version 😄

[qjamesfloyd]

I would think it will be more than just the opening act, they are billed together, and Mark has put on a whole new concert for her, I would think she will join Mark for several songs or he could just ask her to perform one song as a guest!!! Makes the Royal Albert Hall "guests" more intriguing.

She is a slide guitar player...

Her style is more close to the blues than Sonny, which is more cajun / zydeco, but they are both slide guitar players.

I also notice Bonnie and Mark are the same age, and she was the first guitarist to have a Signature Strat in 1996.

I noticed that Billy Joel is playing the Garden two days later, on the 27th. Maybe he'll pop in like he did on October 12, 1985 with DS and play his baby grand!!

What ordernumber Shai? We have 277100, 277103 and 277109

[Shai]

277183....wow, and I thought I was quick!!

[knopfler1]

I'm in! Making the long trip from Glasgow

[herlock]

277169 and I was not so quick.
Now, is this is FA, order number is of little importance, unrelated to actual seats...

But is this FA ? I am in doubt...
