I have loved Mark's voice since I was a young teenager. It was one of my dreams to see him perform Romeo and Juliet and he took my breath away. Yes, I would have loved to have heard Expresso Love, Hand in Hand and Tunnel of Love from that amazing album, Making Movies but I thoroughly enjoyed this concert. He is a great story teller, gifted writer and a brilliant guitarist!

Loved it!

Had never seen MK, my husband had seen him when in DS. We downloaded the songs a month ago to famliarize ourselves with them as had not know many. The band was spectatular, Mark Knopfler was amazing and his voice was powerful and subtle. Something hard to do. Emotion and focus together. The songs were deep, thanks to Genius.com for giving us background on a few. We especially loved "Sailing to Philadelphia" and "Speedway at Nazareth" as well as "Wae Aye Man."

Beautiful music. Love the evolving master

I loved every second of it. Love how this man keeps progressing and moves on. He’s an artist and one of supreme mastery and scope. Not a has been who just covers their old shit. I’m sorry but I can’t stand the boomer who just has to hear it the way it was like previous comments. Want to hear anthems? Go listen to top forty you dopes. I go see someone like MK because I want to see the artist and how they come up with this magical stuff and maybe even get a glimpse of them creating new stuff when I’m there. Who knows. New stuff or even old stuff and I don’t want to hear a pre recording. Miles Davis epitomized loving twists in the road. To do something this. Doing the same things twice was a bore. Thank you MK. That was one of the best shows at the Greek I’ve ever seen anywhere from anyone. And thank you for splurging and bringing ten great musicians to make it even better. You’re obviously not concerned about making money. Rather great music.

Great night of music. Some have complained about not enough D.S. tunes, but he is such a prolific writer, one would expect him to explore his vast catalog. It rocked, it was sensitive, dynamic, and very well orchestrated. His huge band never sounded like anyone was stepping on each other. The only thing I noticed is at times his wonderful soloing might have been a bit loud in the mix. But that could have been my seat location. No complaints, I just noticed it was a bit out front in the mix at times. Since his tone is masterful, it was fine. Our group was thoroughly entertained. He was charming, precise, relaxed, and a genius band leader. He really sets the bar for us. Looking forward to another tour. Don’t retire!!!

I have been following MK since his debut album with Dire Straits and while his finger picking may have slowed over the years, his musical talent has never waned. 3 Grammy awards, sound tracks for at least 4 movies, an extremely successful solo career and still producing great music and touring at the age of 70. It's always a great evening at the St Michele venue with Mark and now it's my children dragging me to his concerts instead of the other way around. His musical entourage and arrangements just keeps getting better every year like fine wine. Thanks Mark. For those of you with your "low reviews", obviously you are stuck in the 70's and 80's. He played 5 songs from his Dire Strait days. Move on or move over.
