A couple days ago, I went to see Mark Knopfler (originally of Dire Straits
fame) play a concert in my area. I've always been a fan of Dire Straits & Mark
Knopfler for his solo work, and it was great to finally see him play live. I
have most of his solo albums, although his last few I haven't listened to as
much as some of his earlier albums. So I wasn't sure how much of the concert
I'd recognize immediately - But it turned out to be a great concert. It was a
good selection of songs, and I enjoyed even the stuff I wasn't as familiar
with. He played some songs from his latest album Tracker, and from
Privateering, The Ragpicker's Dream (Hill Farmer's Blues), among others, as
well as some Dire Straits songs (Sultans Of Swing, Romeo and Juliet, Telegraph
Road, So Far Away). It was a fairly upbeat concert, and the other musicians
who were with him were great as well. The sound system at the venue he played
at here was great too.
People have been recording his performances on this tour around the world and
posting their videos on YouTube:
