But with age seems to have fewer and fewer MK Bock on the electric guitar and gets more and more out of the acoustic guitar. And although his guitar playing is still "unique" and is quickly out audibly, it is simultaneously more and more 'reduced'. This may be intentional, I do not know, but I personally do not like stop.
Target me but no one tell you that this congenial solo of "Brothers in Arms" in recent solo tours a similar magic, torn and broadcasting has, such as the Mandela concert 1988th
If one puts it evil, the solos you could say he "spits" and only then. The solo of "Sultan" is just a poor imitation of the old "Wembley" times. Cobbled together from various fragments, without structure and suspense.
If he does not feel more, to play the old DS stuff at the concerts, he should let it be, but exactly it, presenting Mr. Knopfler always sold-out halls.
Times Hand on heart, how full would be a Kölnarena when previously would notice that he plays only his solo albums ...? ; O))
The 5 star album Gutfinder like now impute lack of understanding of Knopfler's conversion me. Yeah, I hear them say, "He has just evolved," blah blah ...
But to be honest, first I see in the new album does not "development". Many pieces have been so similar even heard of him in earlier solo albums. The Blues pieces all sound pretty much the same as well as the acoustic guitar has nothing deartig new that you could click their tongues times every now and then.
And secondly, I do not care if I possibly. "Access" to the album not find ... have indeed only "College student", sorry. : O)
The album has pleased me, easily. What is the good Mark is thinking or not, I do not care. Ultimately producing and selling his music, too, in order to make money, otherwise he could only do with his loved ones at home "House Music" with bagpipes and all that stuff.
And since he has to stop then also put up when his "development" does not correspond entirely to what expect a majority of its fans. (And I do not necessarily DS music !!)
Imagine times, such an album like "Privateer" had a completely unknown musician thrown on the market, which one of you would have bought the most ?? Against this background, just the big names and the fact that I owe this musician countless good times, he even gets 2 points. Otherwise it would have been 0.0. : O))
