Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris, Duets Tour.

Looks like they have had many guests and friends seeing the show, including Jimmy Buffet, Albert Lee, Rudy Pensa and Terry Kilburn who runs Mark's website.

I still have'nt seen a set list, but i have found out they have played Romeo & Juliet,Done With Bonaparte,Why Worry,Belle Starr,This Is Us,they might be playing most of the new album.

The band also played a gig to 150,000 plus people in Naples, this was a rock festival, and they played This Is Us, not a rock song, plus they mimed to a play back, with Mark and Emmylou singin live, reading Richard Bennetts comments, it seems he though it was totaly pointless doing the show, i have to agree, i think Mark should always play live.

I have'nt e-mailed Guy about it, there is not much point, he will say what he always does, that he would love a DVD, and it's a missed chance of a great visual record of the tour, but i really do feel there will be a DVD of this show, does anyone have a set list from this tour yet?, i have'nt seen one anywhere.

Looks like Mark's being lazy. I'd rather he released a DVD from the SL tour. Of course, I'd prefer if we could have one from each but I suppose that's asking for too much.

Did anyone write to Guy and ask him? I doubt he'd tell but I'm still curious to know if there's been any talk of it at all.

There is still no word yet on weather there will be a live DVD, but i am still hopeful, i would see this as to good an oppitunity to miss,fingers crossed.

Thanks Slavi, i did'nt realise the venues are going to be bigger, but i guess as the tour is much shorter, it's the best way to get lots of people to see them, plus there will be Emmylou fans too.It has been so long since a MK D.V.D. in fact he has'nt put out anything new on that format, the stuff already out, is stuff that came out for the VHS format, and was then put on D.V.D. so we don't know what MK can do in this area.There has been a recent Mike Oldfield D.V.D. come out from his Exposed tour in the 70's, where you can watch the concert from 4 different angles, which works very well, Mark could do something like that, with a camera focused just on him and his guitar playing

James, I hope that you are right about the DVD!! We have not MK DVD so long ago And I am so wonder about the band line-up...Guy told about some new person on the mini tour ( pedal steel may be??)...The other interesting fact is that the concerts are in bigger venues than the SL Tour.

This is a new thread for anything to do with the MK/EH mini tour, i personally won't be able to make a show on this tour, which is a huge dissapointment, but i am sure there will be a D.V.D. because of how special and unique this tour/album is.
