Mark Knopfler brushes security guard away!!!

[The19763]

I love you Mark Knopfler you saved my life........a few times.

[DimK46]

i lov u mark...u changed my life!! :))

[EvelcyclopS]

i was at the manchester gig the other night, and there was an announcement asking people not to take photos or videos besause 'it has become a major irritation for mark and the band'...

[pFOXter99]

That's enough to get a guy pumped--- is that mark that you hear yelling you think?

[Umeavisby]

Mark Knopfler fait partie de cette génération d'artiste qui possède une simplicité et une éducation solide qui lui permet d'avoir des valeurs humaines par rapport au public. Force est de constater que la génération de jeunes chanteurs ne possède pas ces deux qualités. Triste époque.  :(

[markbest17]

What is this song?!

Mark your d Best

[brookersglen]

start of speedway at nazeret

[kjekka]

i was there :D

[Kristalyviz]

Mark > God :D

[blackfang82]

I was accturally in Bergen, the day after this performance, and saw Mark.. To many assholes standing so close to the stage with all the cellphones and cameras and shit.. even though it wasnt allowed..

[arnoldlayne1986]

I was in Helsinki when marc played there, and I got really annoyed by all the guards running around telling everybody to put down their phones. "Not allowed"... it's a rock concert not the Royal Opera

[MoskvaMorten]

@arnoldlayne1986 I like it when security does so, I'm there to see the bloody concert - not your cellphone.

[icom1020]

This happened in Portland in July, someone came up to the very front and starting dancing and the guard tried to shoo him away. Mark intervened in that one too. Cool to have great performers who understand their fans.

[Sander89Falcon]

thats the way you do it...

[Ragpicker81]

why did he brushes the guard away?

[ikh29]

because the guard was talking to some dudes in the public..from where i was i didnt hear wat they said but i think that someone in the public just said smethn bad to the guard..you knw how it is in concerts..so to calm down everything mark knopfler told him to go away..

[chris08712]

You can hear in his music what kind of person Mark himself is, a great friendly man.

[mitchellneil]

mark is a f***king dude, i love this guy.

a proper geezer.

[andy20040522]

[CrazyForGuitars]

cool thing! real nice guy I think!

[ZLIPPN]

Hei!!1

Jeg var der. Satt på første rad. Utrolig bra at han jaget bort den fete vakta. Go Mark!!!!!1

[javathreads]

He's a gentleman

[master244]

but you can see mark has real problems with people filming him and all like some people here on youtube sell his concert on dvd, this man brings a lot of good things with his music to a lot of people and some dudes screw him over by selling his concert on dvd no wonder the guard reacted like this because that were just his orders.. nevertheless dont fuck with Mark!

[regenjas4ever]

Mark doesn't care about recording his shows or making bootlegs (I think he ever doesn't care about selling them). He says it's just fine.

But; after several shows, Mark decided to not allow camcorders anymore, not because of the bootlegs, but because of the fact that everybody should be able to enjoy the show without fans filming (because they're just irritating other fans).

[regenjas4ever]

PART2...

If everything is OK at the concert and Mark sees a security guard fucks with one of his fans, he brushes him away. You can read the recording-policy on Mark's website.

[master244]

thats true yeah if he'd care about that he would be much more in the spotlights then he is now, I really admire what he does he could be as known as one of today's popstars but he just remains on the background but still gets sold out concerts. I guess your right about that one and indeed those filimg people were annoying on the 31 of march in HMH holland nevertheless he owned the concert :D

[bramovitch]

that's absolutely right. I went to his gig in Brussels, and before the gig we were told that the band had started to get frustrated by all the camera's and the excessive photographing. So now he has two professional photographers with him who can shoot pictures, but the rest is prohibited. During one of the songs he even waved his hand to a guy filming, saying 'stop that'. I can imagine it's no fun at all playing and knowing you'll be on youtube the day after...

[Beeftube2007]

AWESOME =D

[steeltikenburning]

well done marko!

[live2ride123]

haha great

[tne24]

Hahahaha it was fantastic, so funny, great

[betisoe]

hahahaha... now that was funny! even though the gesture with the hand seems a bit rude :P anyway, well done MK. I don't think we need tight securiry in MarKy's shows....

[franckmo]

Don't mess with Mark

[elhandro23]

on my site there is a video from my point of view:)

speedway @ nazareth

[elhandro23]

Thanks so much for posting, I'm the one the securityguard was aming at....

[narkovics]

Hello! What was happening?

[elhandro23]

I was filming with my mobilephone, when a giant guard comes and points at me with his finger followed by a "slicethroat movement" to stop filming. When MK get his attention and brushes him of. It was a great moment, and the concert was perfect.

[prompen3]

hmm heldigvis så kom ingen og prøvde og stoppe meg i Bergen;)

[hgxgjmf]

yes, and i'm the one with the guitar who tells the guard to leave you alone...

[pgass2001]

And I'm the guitar. Bwaaang! Do-do-ba-bwaaang!
