Who is going where:

[Pottel]

aah, so only 2 were recorded? or only 2 circulate, which i guess is more likely.

Yes.  I actually met someone after the Glasgow show in 2001 while I was waiting to meet MK who said they recorded the show on 13.09.91 so I swapped adresses and they were kind enough to send me a copy of the show and the 2001 Glasgow one too.  The person I spoke to never traded with anyone so I circulated these two recordings firstly with Jeroen van Tol (On Every Bootleg).

I makes one wonder just how many other recordings are out there not having been circulated yet...

that is the 70 million thousand billion dollar question....

I have tickets for Oslo 13. June! It's the Norwegian Wood festival, a very nice music festival. 8000 tickets each day for 4 days, thursday to sunday. MK is closing act on sunday. Doors at 12 I think. Different bands all afternoon and evening, untill MK is on at around 9 pm. The festival is located at Frognerbadet, a public outdoor bath in the corner of a very nice huge park, Frognerparken. Inside the park there's a spectacular sculpture park, Vigelandsparken. I know this area like the inside of my pockets, as this is the area were I was groing up. I even learned to swim in one of the pools in this park.

Some of this years headliners: Neil Young, Nick Cave, Duffy, The Pretenders. Previous years: Foo Fighters, Alanis Morissette, Queen of the stone age, Brian Wilson, Roger Waters, Lou Reed, David Bowie, Van Morrison, Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris etc.

One more very nice thing: The concerts at Norwegian Wood is being recorded for radio and TV by NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting corporation)!!! That means we'll probably have some high quallity audio and video from the MK show!

Excellent news, I hope it is broadcast, and it's a full set.

recording of artists always get negotiated with the artists, if marky says no, we is not lucky,...

[Mossguitar]

You probably right, Maarten, but it's NRK! That's the Norwegian BBC. Extremely serious and a guarantist for quality. OK, mayby not too valid a point. But i think they broadcast all the other world famous artist I named above, so there is a chance.

An interesting thing about how well Mk is known in Norway: EVERY major Norwegian newspaper has had articles about MK coming to Norwegian Wood and to Bergen next summer. He is described as a "norgesvenn", a friend of Norway that means, and is a term used for famous artist who visit Norway regularly.

Now I'm certainly NOT going anywhere soon. Some kind of d*ckhead thought it would be nice to leave his footprint in the door of my car. Have to buy a new windscreen and door first...

[xxFordiexx]

Well well well I am soooo chuffed!

Had a new baby girl this year and really thought that the old spondoolies  would not allow me to see Knopfler next year which was so upsetting as money is tight!

But, yay not only am I going to see the band next year but I get to take my Son who's 11 and my Daughter who is 9 with me too after promising for a few years.

My daughters favourite song was Walk Of Life although it has now been relegated to second favourite now as a new artist has taken top spot grrrrr LOL! My son has always loved Lady Writer!

Anyway my kids are now of an appreciative age and seriously were so excited when I told them that I have tickets for them at Brighton Centre 27th May 2010!

So I got 6 tickets, one for me, one for my son, one for my daughter, one for my Mum, one for my wife if she can go!!!!!! and one extra one for some lucky bugger!

OMG very excited now as my dream of taking my kids is now happening for real!

[niiiice1]

I'll be at the NEwcastle gig. Alas it's the Metro Radio Arena, a metal barn of a place, so don't think there will be great acoustics there!
