Did Bruce Springsteen and Mr. Knopfler ever share a stage at some point ?

[peterromer]

I dont recall maybe do some of you ?
They shared musicians at some point (Nils) but did they ever perform together ?
Even though they are very different characters, they do share some brilliant story telling as artists.

I can't recall either. I don't know if that duo even makes sense, though I know a lot of people who are fans of both, myself included, so maybe a small collaboration would be nice. Bruce is far more popular than Mark and always been, so it's Mark who needs to beg for a collaboration and I can't see that happening.

i truly doubt he needs to "beg"
do not forget, Dire Straits were THE biggest band for a short period. Bruce never was the biggest "band".
also, there is the Roy Bittan or whatever his name was connection on  Making Movies.

Well Bruce is doing a podcast with US President, I doubt that Mark is capable of doing that But I agree, that Dire Straits were big deal. Mark played Bruce's song on "The British Grove Broadcast" and obviously know and respect his work.

I would think they respect each other. If Bruce did SFA and MK doing either "Waiting On A Sunny Day" or "Notting Man".
 They have both performed with Emmelou Harris.

There is an 80s interview with MK and TBone Burnett where MK says he loves I’m On Fire.

Beyond My Wildest Dreams sounds like Bruce.

Bruce is American, so is more likely to do a podcast with the POTUS than MK.    I'm sure MK is capable of doing that, but would he want to?  I doubt it!

It's true.

I am sure Mark could even have a chat with the queen, if she/her wanted to. He is a real gentleman.

[Banjo99uk]

I love a bit of Springsteen so I remember someone asking GF if they have ever worked together or met. He replied that their paths cross occasionally. If you search Springsteen on his forum it was asked in March 2015. Not the greatest or informative answer but they have obviously met on occasions.

I agree.  I think it is more likely he would have a chat with Her Majesty than the President, though.

They both have songs titled Tunnel of Love, plus Nils Lofgren played with Dire Straits. Another lose connection, Mark has a song titled Radio City Serenade, Bruce has New York City Serenade. Bruce recorded his album The River at the Power Station in New York, finishing on 9th May 1980, Dire Straits started recoding Making Movies on 20th June, so they could have met around that time, and as Roy Bitten is on Making Movies, it seem even more likely.

[dustyvalentino]

Not just the Bittan connection on MM. Jimmy Iovine as well.

And Neil Dorfsman has recorded some Springsteen albums, Matt Rollings played on Western Stars.
