Looking for Alternatives

As you all may have noticed, Fileserve no longer allows sharing files, thus is no longer an option for the continuous functionality of the site/blog.

Therefore, if any of you can suggest an option ranging the 10 dollar/Euro monthly for the upload and transfer of the files, I'd be delighted to try and keep the MarkKnopflerMusic Project alive.

200,000 visitor contest

Hi:

As an idea i have for all of you that make the blog, i will send a bootleg of their choice (CD-R of course) to the 200,00 visitor. just send me the real screen capture of this special number for the blog and we'll have a winner!

Because you've have made the blog what it is now...

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:

[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.

Soundboard recording from Leeds 1978. Dire Straits was playing here as support act for Talking Heads, but you can easily hear why they became a main act soon afterwards!
