Yeaahh I have the new album!!

[Pottel]

funny, i saved it upside up, but when i put it on here it turns around.
anyways, is the number 109 on my ticket the box number by any chance or do we all have the same number??

[ingridswing]

I have exactly the same Pottel, also 109

i love the part where John McC. playbacks mark playing SoS whilst being backstage as our man plays the real deal on stage. hilarious.

I have number 256! No just kidding. I think every ticket is number 00109. Someday I'll take Doc's DeLorean (ofc. with Mr. Fusion) to go back to 1996 and see that show at SBE.

I'm still very happy I bought the box, the bonus songs, although they are relatively short, are worth the money imo. I haven't played the vinyl yet (maybe next week or so), neither used the sheet music.

Hurray!!  My digipack has just dropped through my letterbox from Amazon.co.uk!    Surprisingly early!

Somebody asked how long the DVD plays, but I can't find the message anymore! LOL The answer is about 30 / 40 minutes! LOL

Dear Val and all the others who just got their package, enjoy listening to this wonderful CD and watching the DVD!

Hello there everyone. I got the dvd and cd yesterday too and my personal opinion is that it's a great cd, but possibly could have done with a bit more rock (maybe I still hanker after the dire straits days...) ! Border Reiver is great though (although it was a pity that it didn't set the beat for other tracks), and the other songs tell a great story - I wonder how much MK draws from his younger days... it's quite Golden Heart-ish in style though, with the feel having a lot of the celtic influence (some I thought was reminiscent of Cal).

Make your own mind up though :-)

it's always great feeling to have that new cd in my hands... now come on MK, for the next one (!) let's have some more rock!

Received my CD/DVD pack from amazon yesterday. Just wondering, is it only the packs from amazon that have a sticker on which states "go to www.markknopfler.com for exclusive content only available with this CD", or is this sticker on all packs?

(I haven't found any exclusive content on markknopfler.com yet).

I bought my deluxe box today, I reserved a copy in the spanish fnac site, but it remained saying "order in process" the same day of the sale, and that was really frustrating, as they had in their shops the deluxe box on sale, but we had to wait until the reserved copies were send from the fnac warehouse...

Result, many many many of us cancelled their reserved copies throught the site and bought them directly in the shop.

The candy for reserve the deluxe box was two tickets for the Shepperds Bush Hall showcase, but, what the hell, if the deluxe boxes are in the shop, what

jbaent,  Sorry, I am confused!   I understood that these tickets for Bush Hall were for UK customers only and that it was an Amazon competition!   Or have I misunderstood?

There is a contest ruled by Fnac Spain, and the prize is two tickets for that showcase including flights and hotel...

But nobody knows about the result, as Fnac Spain couldn

Still no digipack for me,the cd is in the shop alright but the digipack was a special order especially for MOI so I have to wait - I should have ordered through amazon

Well, Amazon UK has most of the tickets. For Spain and The Netherlands there are 2 tickets available (for each country).
