Mark Knopfler's Music

Back in business!

2015-05-26T07:54:00.003-05:00

After a few months of inactivity on my behalf due to workload, i am able to work again in the blog.

I changed the design as a reminder that www.markknopflermusic.com will/must not die. I will change from Rapidshare to fileserve, since Rapidshare is pretty useleess now. Hopefully here won't delete files as much, so iI will be reposting the most downloaded ones while posting new Mark Knopfler's Boots.

Thank you all for your messages and emails, I've read and apreciate every one of them.

For the time being I will rarely upload FLAC or lossless/uncompressed files, sorry, but my Upload Speed is not that fast to do FLACS.

For those of you asking about the simfy live Get Lucky 2010 Tour recordings:

Yes, i bought them all spending a lot of money, and no, I will not be posting these, since you can still get them for €14.95 here.

Cheers and i hope you'll all enjoy the new look.

The first Repost will be the first post this place ever had:

Los Angeles 2001, May 20th 2001

[Repost] Dire Straits - The Mandela Concert

Wembley Stadium, London, UK, June, 11th 1988

Source Soundboard

Tracks

1. Walk of life
2. Sultans of swing
3. Romeo and Juliet
4. Money for nothing
5. Brothers in arms
6. Wonderful tonight
7. Solid rock

Wembley Stadium on 11th June 1988 was the venue for a unique gathering of musicians and performers from all over the world who under the banner of Artists Against Apartheid paid tribute to Nelson Mandela for his 70th Birthday. An audience estimated to be well over half a billion people in some 63 countries participated in an event with a simple compelling message: "Free Nelson Mandela". Dire Straits appeared as the closing act of that unforgettable day with Eric Clapton on second guitar. Until today, it was probably the most important and powerful concert of the Dire Straits history. Amazing version of Brothers in arms! More complete than the bootleg "Solid Rock", Excellent sound quality.

This is all around the internet, but this is the rip of my CD.

Mark Knopfler - Los Angeles 2001 (Repost)

2011-05-26T08:26:00.003-05:00

A really rare and amazing good recording, taken from Mark Knopfler's In Ear Monitor (IEM). On this recording, you can hear exactly what Mark hears when he's on stage. His voice and guitar are obvious very clear on this recording. It's a soundboard recording, but it isn't from the "Front-of-house" soundboard, but from the "Stage Monitor" soundboard. Since these signals are separate monitor board mixes sent via a wireless frequency to the receiver pack that each musician wears, anyone with a wireless multi-channel receiver can record it as long as they know the frequency. And that's what probably happened during this show. What makes it even more unique is that this recording also features guest appearances of Jackson Browne on Sailing to Philadelphia and Bonnie Raitt on Prairie Wedding and Pyroman. Bonnie plays beautifully haunting slide guitar on Prairie Wedding and sings a high vocal harmony in the chorus. After the song Mark says: "Stick around Bonnie, stick around" followed by Pyroman on which she also plays great slide guitar. Very interesting concert, and an even more interesting sound source! Complete setlist.

Setlist:

DISC ONE:

1. Calling Elvis

2. Walk of life

3. Rüdiger

4. What it is

5. Romeo and Juliet

6. Sultans of swing

7. Band introduction

Great to hear the live version of the Hawaiian Lullaby played by Guy Fletcher, Glenn Worf and Richard Bennet. Complete concert.

The last concert of the LOG Tour, besides from being the night Alchemy was recorded Sound quality is great, but being an audience recording, it really gets you the Atmosphere of the concert. Apart from the tracks that did not make the final cut for the Alchemy Album (Industrial disease, Twisting by the Pool, great version, by the way, Portobello Belle and the Expreso love, which this version is absolutely great and different than the one in the Money for nothing Compilation album) there are certain differences between the Alchemy Album, the Alchemy video and this audience recording, like Mark’s speech before Romeo and Juliet, which is in this recording, but was edited out from the Album and video. The Speech Mark says at the End of Carousel Waltz, before Tunnel of love which is on the VHS or Laserdisc, but not on the official Alchemy album, the end of Solid rock is from the day before, July 22th, and so are the words Mark says to the audience before playing Going Home. Little differences that make this a very enjoyable Audience recording.

Taken from the original silver pressed bootleg "Boston 1979". Poor sound for a soundboard recording but it has got a lot of rarely perfomed songs! Bernadette (written by and sung by David Knopfler!), In my car (never officially released), Portobello belle, Setting me up (the only soundboard recording available for the public) and last but not least a very early version of Twisting by the pool. A must for all true fans.

Without a doubt this is the best Mark Knopfler Bootleg i've heard in a while and it's from a rare charity concert. A great soundboard recording, directly from Mark's in-ear monitor, which makes his voice and guitar pristine clear. The lineup is: Mark Knopfler, Guy Fletcher, Glenn Worf and Richard Bennett performing without a drummer for a sold out crowd at Boothbay Harbor's Opera House. Mark plays an amazing version of Mabletown and Whoop de doo is simply breathtaking, all among other songs he'd never played live before.

Mark Knopfler & Eric Clapton - Music for Montserrat

2009-06-09T09:33:00.002-05:00

September 15th, 1997, Royal Albert Hall, London, UK

Soundboard

On September 15th, 1997, Royal Albert Hall in London was the venue for the benefit concert Music for Montserrat, organized by Sir George and Lady Martin together with Harvey Goldsmith to raise money to help the victims of the Soufriere Volcano on Montserrat’s island erupting since mid 1993, Mark Knopfler and Eric Clapton were two of the many guest artists for this event, Mark Knopfler played the Wild Theme with Guy Fletcher, but was edited out the VHS and DVD, I like this Wild Theme very much because mark did not play his Red Strat, he used his Les Paul and the sound and feeling of the song is very unique, really beautiful, judge by yourselves.

On this CD are only the songs they played whether together or by themselves, I have not included the ones where they were part of the band for someone else.

This is a live recording of the fifth showcase that Mark Knopfler did to promote his new album "Kill to get Crimson". After Berlin, Madrid, Amsterdam, and London, the AVO Session Basel has the honour of being his host festival. The tickets were not sold, but could only be won in contests on TV, the internet and on several radio stations. On 24th December, Swiss radio DRS3 broadcasted the complete showcase. During the broadcast, there were some radio jingles between a few songs. Only to remove these jingles, the source from the earlier broadcast (13th November on Swiss radio channel DRS3) was used. These two sources combined result in a great 10 track recording which features the complete showcase. Soundboard recording with good sound quality.

Mark Knopfler - On Finnish TV Interviews

2009-05-28T11:43:00.002-05:00

Different Studios, Finland, December 2000

Soundboard

Tracks

1. Interview on the "45 minuuttia" program
2. Interview on the "Joonas Hytönen Show"
3. Lenni-Kalle Taipale Quartet playing a curious version of Sultans of swing
4. Interview on the "Huomenta Suomi" morning television show

Recordings of a few shows that Mark Knopfler did to promote his new album Sailing to Philadelphia. All recorded in December 2000. The Joonas Hytönen Show was recorded on 8th December 2000. I don't know the recording dates of the other two interviews, but it must have been in December 2000 since the promotion tour ended that month. Joonas Hytönen Show is particularly amusing. Joonas, the host, asks a bunch of silly questions that are not the most common ones, like who is the girl in the Money for nothing video clip and did you meet Madonna in Notting Hill? After Joonas' interview the house band for the show, Lenni-Kalle Taipale Quartet, plays an interesting arrangement of Sultans of swing. The other interviews are interesting too. The interviews are all in English with a few quick words in Finnish inbetween questions. Good sound quality on all tracks.

7. Solid rock

Wembley Stadium on 11th June 1988 was the venue for a unique gathering of musicians and performers from all over the world who under the banner of Artists Against Apartheid paid tribute to Nelson Mandela for his 70th Birthday. An audience estimated to be well over half a billion people in some 63 countries participated in an event with a simple compelling message: "Free Nelson Mandela". Dire Straits appeared as the closing act of that unforgettable day with Eric Clapton on second guitar. Until today, it was probably the most important and powerful concert of the Dire Straits history. Amazing version of Brothers in arms! More complete than the bootleg "Solid Rock".

This is all around the internet, but this is the rip of my CD.

Notice that they played Sultans of swing twice because Mark was very unhappy with the way he played it the first time: "Alright now, let's do this Sultans and do it properly..." Very rare that this happens! The atmosphere is terrific on this concert, a must to have! Complete and uncut show.
