Concert Review: Mark Knopfler


Massey Hall, Toronto - April 29, 2010

By JANE STEVENSON - QMI Agency





TORONTO - Mark Knopfler fessed up to an injury early on during his performance at Massey Hall on Thursday night.
Seated for the entire two-hour-and-five minutes, the former Dire Straits frontman dryly explained: "I'm not doing any somersaults or cartwheels tonight because I've pinched something. It'll be okay. I like this. It has benefits."

It turned out, in the end, it didn't matter.

The 60-year-old Knopfler still managed to wow the sold-out crowed with his fluid finger-picking guitar style, laid-back, easy, no-fuss manner, and seven "master musicians," as he called his touring band.

Lucky for us.

The group - who included a flute player, fiddler, accordion player and at least two mandolin players - easily finessed whatever was thrown at them - rock, country, Celtic, and bluegrass.

Interestingly, Dire Straits percussionist Danny Cummings is now Knopfler's drummer.

And while there really wasn't a showman among them - Knopfler was the evening's undisputed star - he proved to be a generous leader, happily sharing the spotlight during longs jams and solos, like during Sailing To Philadelphia, where he and multi-instrumentalist Tim O' Brien traded verses.

Touring in support of his latest solo album, 2009's Get Lucky, the Scottish-born, British-raised Knopfler kicked off the night with the Celtic-tinged Border Reiver from that disc on a stripped down stage where the biggest effect all night was a backdrop of stars in the sky.

But he didn't delve too much into the record for the remainder of the evening only performing two other songs - the title track, and the poignant show-ender Piper To The End.

Instead, it was a mixed bag of songs from both his time with seminal '80s band Dire Straits, who split up n 1985, and varied older solo material like such highlights as What It Is, the bluegrass-feeling Prairie Wedding - which The Del McCoury Band has since recorded - Marbletown, and Donegan's Gone, and the rocking showstopper Speedway At Nazareth complete with strobe lights.

Still, it was the one-two punch of the Dire Straits signature songs Romeo and Juliet and Sultans Of Swing, which struck the biggest chord, the latter prompting the first standing ovation of the night for Knopfler's staggering solo, and So Far Away From Me, which prompted the second ovation during the encore.
"You're very sweet," said Knopfler, after the first time the crowd jumped to their feet. No Mark, you are, sweet-sounding that is.

Good Morning Qsters!

Don't forget to click the "thumbs up" on the first page of the thread if you like it here. It's been stuck at 19 for a few days and I know there are waaaayyyyy more regulars than that!

And for those new to the thread, DO NOT CLICK "Mark as Expired." I did, and bad things happened, which have since been fixed. And if you DO click it everyone will know immediately since it will change from (3) to (4)! Thanks all!

[buttertart]

I think some of you SC veterans already have your system figured out... As much as I love hanging in rep jail with Wolfie, Stewy, karmac et al, I've decided that I'm only going to do 25 reps a day since it takes me so long to do my current 50 rep's. So if I missed you today it's not 'cause I don't love you anymore! As you know, since Boo took away the rep's given in our CP I've started keeping track with pen and paper. But because it takes me so long to complete the process, the time of day I can rep keeps getting pushed back further and further and sometimes I've had to skip days 'cause I don't want to start repping after midnight!

And because I try to be fair, if you rep me I will rep you back, and also if you're on my friend list I will rep you everyday - but you have to post at least once in the past 24 hours for me to be able to do so. OK?

I think I will have to take a cue from Stewy and post my rep quote everyday for those I missed. It's not terribly funny today but here it is:

If a deaf person swears, does his mother wash his hands with soap?

Now, I think I will spend some extra time with the hubby. G'night Qsters!



buttertart Just a thought.. instead of writing it all down

can you copy it past somewhere or make a chart easier to
follow? just wondering

and if you do pls send it my way .. I suck at charts

That's a great thought, mizzsazzy, but for me to actually make a chart is too uptight even for me! Besides, there are new users added all the time so I'd have to update my chart all the time as well. I'm a hard copy kinda gal, sad to say. I don't seem to follow things on screen as well as I do on paper. For now, I just use a little notebook and check off the names as I go along. It's how the time I can start repping gets bumped up everyday that gets me. I'd much rather be able to rep at the same time everyday.

And wouldn't you know it, by the time I finished on the computer my hubby had already fallen asleep watching TV! Figures!!
