Back in business!

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)

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
