I'm thinking of getting tickets for the North American leg of the tour - July 25 (in NJ) or 26 (in Philly). I live closer to Philly but NJ has the newer venue (Prudential center).

I know I want to go - I mean, it's Mark effing Knopfler.
Question is - which venue?

Re: Mark Knopfler is an absolute genius....
Well the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You dont look at their faces
And you dont ask their names
You dont think of them as human
You dont think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money
Keeping your eyes on the wall

Chorus
Im your private dancer
A dancer for money
Ill do what you want me to do
Im your private dancer
A dancer money
Any old music will do

I wanna make a million dollars
I wanna live out by the sea
Have a husband and some children
Yeah I guess I want a family
All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You dont look at their faces
And you dont ask their names
Repeat chorus twice

Deutschmarks or dollars
American express will nicely thank you
Let me loosen up your collar
Tell me do you wanna see me do the shimmy again
Repeat chorus

"Millionaire Blues" - Dire Straits. I think this song was originally released on the "Calling Elvis" single.

Two words - "Mind blowing".

Great concert.

As appropriate to the venue, "Sailing to Philadelphia" was much appreciated.

He even did an extended, pumped up version of "Hill Farmer Blues" (Ragpicker's Dream version was so short). A souped up version of "Speedway at Nazareth" and he brought the house down with a thunderous rendition of "Telegraph Road".

Following a 3 minute standing ovation at the end, Mark generously indulged the crowd with 4 encore performances, including a very soulful "Brothers In Arms".

It was great seeing Danny Cummings and Guy Fletcher again. Got a brief shake o Mark's hand at the end of the concert too

Soooo glad I went - even if it meant getting lost in the west side of Philly for a half hour or so
