However, after the break up of Dire Straits, Mark Knopfler propelled straightforward into a solo career. In 1996 e released his debut album, titled, ‘Golden Heart’.

Mark Knopfler was positioned 27th on Rolling Stone magazine's list of 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.

Live reviews

Casa cheia no Estádio Municipal de Oeiras para o regresso de Mark Knopfler a Portugal em mais uma etapa do Festival EDPCoolJazz. Apesar de trazer um disco novo, o concerto foi bem distribuído pelos discos mais recentes a solo, ficando a segunda metade reservada para passagens gloriosas por alguns dos maiores hinos dos Dire Straits.

Depois de ter passado por Alvalade e Faro com os Dire Straits, Knopfler já visitou o Porto, Cascais, duas vezes o Pavilhão Atlântico e duas vezes o Campo Pequeno. O regresso foi em Oeiras onde deu o seu concerto em nome próprio com alinhamento mais equilibrado e bem conseguido. Visivelmente bem disposto, muito comunicativo e seguro que as escolhas musicais para esta digressão não desiludem nem fãs nem nostálgicos ocasionais.

Apesar de ter editado um novo disco recentemente, Mark já assinou mais discos a solo do que com os Dire Straits, o concerto não é focado em temas novos. A primeira metade da noite é dedicada a três canções de cada um dos seus dois últimos álbuns.

«Broken Bones» de «Tracker» abre da melhor maneira o alinhamento que segue com três músicas do penúltimo disco, o duplo «Privateering». «Corned Beef City», «Privateering» e «Hill Farmer's Blues». Uma sequência que mostra a excelência dos músicos que acompanham Mark, uma viagem por sons tão próximos do blues, folk e country como dos ambientes celtas pontuados por flautas ou gaitas de foles e violinos. Depois, volta a «Tracker» para tocar «Skydiver», onde mostrou empenho em ter a plateia a cantar consigo. Nunca tínhamos visto Knopfler tão orgulhoso de uma composição nova como esta noite. «Laughs and Jokes and Drinks and Smokes» fechou a viagem pelos dois registos mais recentes. Pelo meio não passou despercebida uma visita ao baú, uma maravilhosa recuperação instrumental de «Father and Son» recuperada da banda sonora de Cal de 1984.

Tempo para deliciar os fãs com arranque imediato para «Romeo and Juliet» e a sua guitarra prateada a luzir. Sem pausas e já com a guitarra vermelha e branca a terminar esta primeira passagem pelos Dire Straits, ataque ao hino «Sultans of Swing». Telemóveis ao alto, cabeças em baixo e algum air guitar para acompanhar o tema que deve ser um dos grandes responsáveis por Knopfler continuar a encher estádios em 2015.

O acompanhamento vocal do público às notas de saxofone em «Your Latest Trick» comprova o acerto da escolha do tema do célebre disco «Brothers in Arms».

Com o público conquistado, Mark Knopfler partia para as últimas três canções antes do encore. Promoveu duas músicas de discos a solo mais antigos que há muito pediam para figurar entre os grandes clássicos do guitarrista. «Postcards From Paraguay», do disco «Shangri-La», tem como introdução lenta a apresentação individual da banda. Em crescendo arranca para uma festa tropical instrumental própria de uma noite de verão.

Segue-se «Speedway at Nazareth», de «Sailing to Philadelfia», uma cavalgada instrumental poderosa que fica mesmo a pedir a entrada do épico «Telegraph Road», digno de fechar o alinhamento em grande estilo.

O encore foi mais um rebuçado para o nostálgicos, «So Far Away» em versão monocórdica e um final instrumental com o grandioso «Going Home: Theme From Local Hero».

Não houve «Brothers in Arms», nem «What it Is», presenças habituais em alinhamentos anteriores mas ficámos a ganhar com a interpretação de «Your Latest Trick» e «Telegraph Road» a soarem melhor que nunca. O mesmo já não podemos dizer de «Sultans of Swing» ou «So Far Away», por exemplo, a perderem pedalada com o passar do tempo, embora sempre dignas.

A caminho dos 66 anos, MarkKnopfler está impecável em palco e atingiu quase a perfeição na escolha equilibrada de um alinhamento onde se percebe que tem tantos clássicos a solo como aqueles que deixou nosDireStraits. Isto é proeza só ao alcance de alguns.

Still a bit gobsmacked with how good Mark Knopfler and band were last night. It’s all a product of Mark’s brilliant songwriting, arrangement, playing, production, and most of all his imagination. Mark is a storyteller in the truest sense and he inhabits his characters to a depth not unlike Kate Bush or Tom Waits. I often feel like he understands American and world history better than most of the natives.

His band are monsters on their respective instruments, and in most cases that’s three or more instruments each. The tour lineup includes Mark Knopfler (guitar, vocals), Guy Fletcher (keyboards), Richard Bennett (guitar), Glenn Worf (bass), Jim Cox (piano, organ, accordion), Ian Thomas (drums), John McCusker (violin, cittern), and Michael McGoldrick (whistles, uilleann pipes). Nigel Hitchcock (saxophone).

This band can cover any genre and create any dynamic. Majestic is a great old venue (I’m deliberately not talking about the seats), and the sound was excellent. High marks for the Dallas audience as they all seemed to be real Knopfler fans and not just the socialites that sometimes inundate these shows (not looking at you, ATT PAC).

Another really cool feature of this and the last few tours is that Mark offers the board recordings on little guitar shaped USB sticks a few months after the show. As this was a great performance (even according to Richard Bennett on his blog), this live recording should be a keeper.

There is something so wonderful about Mark Knopflers style of guitar playing. His style along with the tone of his guitar makes his music instantly recognisable.

A ‘Music Makers’ evening with Mark Knopfler was an amazing example of his talents. A tiny stage housed Mark and 5 other musicians. This was’t a conventional performance, it was laid back and personal. Very different to the stadium performances he used to do with Dire Straits. They started off with a simple instrumental before playing ‘Sailing To Philadelphia'. Then the story telling started, he told the audience about how he came to be a musician and how his musical talents evolved. Stories of his childhood made the audience smile and laugh and the performance of each song brought about a hearty applause.

He performed a range of songs and described what inspired them, he even gave the audience a little guitar lesson, showing how he created the riffs and gave an insight into the songwriting process.

He played big hits such as ‘Sultans of Swing,' Juliet’ and ‘Brothers In Arms’, as well as a number of folk tracks that he said were a big inspiration to him as he began as a musician. All in all it was a wonderful evening! The stories he told were Interesting, funny, and insightful and the performances of his songs were flawless.

It's always great expectations for a Mark Knopfler concert. He's been generating amazing music for a long time - it's hard to believe that it's been 37 years since "Sultans of Swing" and those fancy, memorable licks - and gone in more than a few interesting musical directions, from Dire Straits rock to Scottish country folk.

The show in Milwaukee on Wednesday night gave his fans a sample of his (and his band's) incredible versatility and four-decades long catalog.

(The set list is posted here: http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/mark-knopfler/2015/riverside-theater-milwaukee-wi-3f43543.html).

His band has expanded to 8 members now. His introduction of bass player Glenn Worf (who grew up in Madison and attended UW-Eau Claire) drew a loud applause.

Mr. Knopfler's banter was funny and informative. In reference to Milwaukee being the home of Harley Davidson and his fondness for motorcycles, he announced he was "still growing up."

As expected, it was an evening of outstanding music, the eclectic mix chosen from an amazing career of innovation and creativity. It's not a stretch to say he remains one of the finest living guitarists.

Four time Grammy award winner Mark Knopfler OBE is one of Britain's most critically acclaimed artists having been awarded the Edison Award, the Steiger Award and the Ivor Novello Award. At the age of 65, he continues to tour globally to his loyal fan base.

Mark has enjoyed a successful solo career since the release of his debut album 'Golden Heart' in 1996 following the demise of Dire Straits. His set lists now accumulate his extensive solo work, a variety of Dire Strait's greatest hits and covers by his many collaborators such as Emmylou Harris and Chet Atkins.

The audience is delighted with a performance of 'I Dug Up a Diamond', Mark's track with Emmylou.

Part of the appeal of seeing Knopfler live is to witness his incredible guitar playing abilities, his fingers move at lightening pace during a Dire Straits cover 'Romeo and Juliet'. By a blistering finale of 'Our Shangri-La' the audience have been well and truly schooled as to why the artist has been awarded by so many esteemed organisations.

Since I am a gigantic Dire Straits fan, I really wanted to go to Mark Knopfler's concert, even though his new music isn't like his songs back from the Dire Straits time. I have to admit that some of his new songs weren't for me at all, but a few of them were cleverly made and give his bandmembers (and Mark himself of course) a wonderful chance to showcase their talents. Some of his bandmembers played up to 5 different instruments during the show!

I was also glad that he performed a few Dire Straits songs, including his legendary 'Sultans of Swing' with his infamous guitarsolo at the end.

All and all it was a fantastic show and I enjoyed very much, even though my cousin and I were pretty much the youngest fans out there with our fifteen years of age!

Mark Knopfler is obviously still really good at what he does and he found himself a band with members equally as talented as him!

This is the second time I've seen Mark Knopfler and both times he has been fantastic!

An evening with Mark makes a large venue feel like a pub gig due to his warm vibes and friendly banter. Over the course of his career, Mark has gained a reputation as one of the finest guitar players of all time and this shines alongside his world class band.

Together Mark and the band execute the latest songs with energy and precision, whilst his golden-oldies such as 'Sultans of Swing', 'Local Hero', 'So Far Away' and 'Telegraph Road' have been given a new, but fantastic lease of life due to the addition of folk instruments from the likes of John McCusker and Mike McGoldrick.

I can't recommend a Mark Knopfler gig enough to both old die-hard fans and new music lovers a like.

Mark Knopfler show was incredible. He is simply "in my opinion" the best guitarist, loved to see his hand gliding on the cords. He also as a great band and it was super that he let them have their own moment of glory during the show, so cool! I was very happy with his list of songs for the show, I know he said we could ask for a song but they will not give a damn and frankly it was not necessary as he made a great range of popular songs from Dire Strait time to now and all of My best songs were there Wouhou! Place des Arts Salle Wilfrid Pelletier is the best as it is not too big and everyone is close enough to see the band, and the sound was going strait to the heart, what a feeling. Great show to remember for a long time. Many Many thanks to Mark Knopfler and is band.

Mark Knopfler - Heinz Hall, Pittsburgh, PA 10/13/15

From the moment Mark and the band took the stage, musicianship stood center stage. Mark flowed through the setlist effortlessly covering new and old and even dipping into the far past with a couple of Dire Straits selection. His guitar prowess was front and center but the talents of the band members were highlighted throughout. Each musician played multiple instruments and flowed from jazz to rock to Celtic influences. The acoustic instrumentation was clear even at subdued volumes. If you were a Mark Knopfler fan you went away satisfied as Mark came out for two encores.

Great concert.

It's not Dire Straits but it's not meant to be. However he does indulge the audience with Romeo and Juliette, Sultans of Swing and a belter of a version of Telegraph Road. Some of the best and most effortless guitar play I have had the privilege to witness. The band are all extremely talented and provide great support to a great artist. If you want Dire Straits you are many years too late, if you want an outstanding guitarist having a good time and sharing it with a relatively small audience then you will have a great evening.

Former Dire Straits Members Unite as ‘Dire Straits Legacy’ for U.S. Tour

• By Andy Greene

Andy Greene

As Mark Knopfler proved this year by not even showing up  when his band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Dire Straits are never, ever getting back together. However, that’s not stopping past members, including keyboardist Alan Clark, percussionist Danny Cummings, saxophonist Mel Collins and guitarist Phil Palmer, from hitting the road in late September for a tour under the banner DSL Dire Straits Legacy. The group will be joined by Heartbreakers drummer Steve Ferrone and the Buggles’ Trevor Horn on bass along with Marco Caviglia on vocals and Primiano DiBiase on keyboards.

“The DSL Dire Straits Legacy project was born from our love and respect for the music of Dire Straits, and to bring the music to fans who have been starved of hearing it played live by the musicians who made it, for far too long,” Clark and Collins said in a statement. “Now, after many requests, we’re coming to the US! Along with all the Dire Straits hits, we’ll also be playing one or two songs from our new album 3 Chord Trick , and a couple of other tunes we’ve been involved with. See you there!”

Former members of Dire Straits have toured together in recent years under various names, including the Straits, but this is the first time they’ve come to North America. Their South American tour earlier in the year was packed with Dire Straits classics like “Walk of Life,” “Money For Nothing” and “Romeo & Juliet.”

Editor’s picks

The 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history, every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term.

None of this has sat well with bassist John Illsley, the only member of Dire Straits besides Knopfler to endure through every incarnation of the group.   “I said to them, ‘If you’re going to do it, will you please call it something else,'” he told Rolling Stone last year , referring to their incarnation as the Straits. “‘It would be like some people coming together and calling themselves the Stones or the Floyd. You can’t really do that. You were members of the band for a while, but you don’t own the name. You have no ownership. Can you please it call it something else? Call it what it is, which is basically a tribute act.’ There’s a lot of tribute acts. That’s what happens when there’s a vacuum. You just have to accept that, but I found it very difficult. It didn’t last very long.”

It’s unclear if Illsley is satisfied now that they are called DSL Dire Straits Legacy, but the addition of Horn to the lineup does pose some intriguing questions regarding the setlist, especially since they pledged to play “a couple of other tunes we’ve been involved with.” As the frontman of the Buggles, Horn was the lead vocalist on their classic “Video Killed The Radio Star.” He also fronted Yes for their 1980 LP Drama . And with Ferrone in the lineup, there could potentially be a show that features Tom Petty’s “You Wreck Me,” Yes’ “Machine Messiah” and “Video Killed The Radio Star” in addition to all the Dire Straits tunes. As weird as that sounds, we now live in a world where Vince Gill is in the Eagles and Neil Finn is touring with Fleetwood Mac .

As Knopfler and Illsley would be the first to point out, many members of DSL Dire Straits Legacy had very brief tenures in Dire Straits: Mel Collins, best known for his work in King Crimson, didn’t play on any studio albums and was only around for the 1982/83 Love Over Gold tour. Danny Cummings and Phil Palmer only contributed to 1991’s On Every Street and its supporting tour. Alan Clark had, by far, the longest stint in the Dire Straits, playing with them from 1980 until the final show in 1992.

Biografie - Mark Knopfler

Mark Knopfler, der Kopf hinter den Dire Straits, gilt als einer der besten Gitarristen weltweit. Dabei ist er nicht nur mit seiner Band, sondern auch als Solokünstler ein Ausnahmetalent. Mit rauchiger Stimme, anspruchsvollen Texten und genialen Gitarrensoli sorgt Mark Knopfler bei seinen Shows für ungebrochene Begeisterung. Der Produzent, Songwriter und legendäre Gitarrenkünstler zählt – trotz aller Bescheidenheit – zu Recht zu den Größen der Musikgeschichte.

Auch solo auf Erfolgspfaden

Mit über 120 Millionen verkauften Tonträgern sind die Dire Straits eine der erfolgreichsten britischen Bands. Allein mit ihrem Hit-Album „Brothers in Arms“ inspiriert die Band noch heute Generationen junger Musiker. Wesentlichen Anteil am Erfolg hat Mark Knopfler als Mitgründer, Gitarrist, Sänger und Songwriter der Band.

Erste Soloprojekte als Musikproduzent und Komponist nimmt er bereits während seiner Zeit bei den Dire Straits in Angriff und produziert zum Beispiel hochgelobte Filmsoundtracks für „The Princess Bride“, „Last Exit To Brooklyn“ und „Wag The Dog“. Als es ab Mitte der 1990er ruhig um die Dire Straits wird, widmet sich Mark Knopfler mit voller Leidenschaft eigenen Musikprojekten.

Bereits mit seinem zweiten Soloalbum „Sailing To Philadelphia“ verkauft er mehrere Millionen Tonträger und schafft es direkt auf Platz 1 der deutschen Albumcharts. Ein Erfolg, den er mit den Alben „Privateering“ und „Tracker“ zu wiederholen vermag. Im Laufe seiner Karriere arbeitet Knopfler mit namhaften Größen des Musikbusiness zusammen, unter anderem mit Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan oder Van Morrison.

Sein Erfolg erlaubt es ihm, ein eigenes Studio zu betreiben: Seit Ende der 2000er-Jahre ist Mark Knopfler Besitzer des British Grove Studios in Chiswick im Westen Londons. Hier hat er die Freiheit, so zu arbeiten, wann und wie er möchte.

Musikalische Wurzeln und Einflüsse

Bereits als Teenager begeistert sich Mark Knopfler für das Gitarrespiel. Sein Talent als subtiler, nuancierter Texter und Songwriter entwickelt er beim Studium der Journalistik an der University of Leeds. Zu seinen wichtigsten Einflüssen zählen der Gitarrist Hank Marvin von der Band The Shadows, J.J. Cale, Bob Dylan und Eric Clapton. Privat hört Mark Knopfler gern Chet Baker und Nina Simone.

Zu den Merkmalen von Mark Knopflers Musik zählen neben der unverkennbaren, rauchigen Stimme ein ganz eigener, filigraner Gitarrenstil . So spielt er im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Gitarristen die E-Gitarre, indem er die Saiten ohne Plektrum mit den Fingerspitzen anschlägt und zupft. Zu seinen Stammgitarren zählen unter anderem die Fender Stratocaster, die Gibson Les Paul oder auch die National Style 0.

Als begnadeter Musiker ist Mark Knopfler gleichzeitig auch stolzer Sammler von Vintage-Gitarren: So besitzt er beispielsweise eine Telecaster aus dem Jahr 1954 und eine Gret Chet Akins aus dem Jahr 1957.

Den begnadeten Gitarrenkünstler live erleben

Der Künstler beweist stets aufs Neue, dass seine kreative Ader noch lange nicht versiegt ist. Die Zeit mit den Dire Straits möchte Knopfler nicht wieder aufleben lassen, eine Reunion der Band schließt er aus. Vielmehr schaut er nach vorn, um eigene Wege zu gehen – was aber nicht heißt, dass Knopfler nicht ab und zu einen Song der Dire Straits live spielt. Seine Beweggründe dafür sind empathischer Natur: Er will vor allem seine Fans glücklich machen, denen die Songs viel bedeuten.

Nicht nur deshalb gelten Tickets für Mark Knopfler als begehrte Ware. Auch ohne seine ehemalige Band sorgt eine Mark-Knopfler-Tour für ausverkaufte Hallen. Gitarrenmusik im Geiste des Roots-, Folk-, Blues- und Country-Rock – der zurückhaltende, fast in sich gekehrte Star spielt Live-Musik der Extraklasse . Hochkarätige Musiker runden die Show von Mark Knopfler perfekt ab. Kurz: Hier bekommen Fans alles, was sie sich nur wünschen können!

Finaly saw him and it was ok.

WUNDERSCHÖN !

Dieses Konzert war mit Abstand das Beste was ich je gesehen und gehört habe! Wir sind zwar hauptsächlich wegen der alten Dire Straits Songs zum Konzert gefahren, weil wir von Mark Knopfler Solo noch nicht so viel kannten. Aber die Setlist war wirklich sehr schön ausgewählt. Bei Sailing to Philadelphia wurde ich das erste Mal so richtig geflasht, wie wunderschön. Überhaupt mag ich Live -Perlen, die so richtig schön lange laufen. Und da kommt man bei Mark Knopfler so richtig auf seine Kosten. Im Schnitt kommt jeder Song auf gute 7-8 Minuten, wenn nicht noch länger. Zauberhafte Instrumentalpassagen haben den Abend unvergesslich gemacht. Ich habe mir das Konzert bei ihm im Shop gekauft, und höre es seitdem ständig. Sollte er noch mal nach Deutschland kommen, sind wir mit Sicherheit wieder dabei !!!

Tolles Konzert von Mark Knopfler

Mark Knopfler und Band haben uns begeistert.
