@iodimdim - Not sure about your question, but the singer/guitarist is more active than ever. Toured this spring/summer.

The best version of an all time great song.

A poet, a musician, an arranger...he has it all.

The sax player upstages the best 2 guitarists in the world. What a performance by them all. Just being around to hear this on utube makes life great!

Anyone know how I can get a recording of this so I can play it in my car? This is the absolute best version of a great song!

[AAFA434]

Absolutely awesome music! Anyone who doesn't get moved on several levels by this must be dead!

@iodimdim @DogSwede I believe Mark is continuing his solo career and collaboration spree (remember Emmy-Lou Harris) and the rest of the band has teamed up to do Dire Straits songs in their own context. I believe John is doing the singing and some of the guitar playing now - wont' be like before but then nothing will be unless they actually get back together the lot of them.

@miloman51 clapton innovated in the blues realm...he is technically proficient. ive seen them both live and clapton has a sound and presence that makes him superior.

[miloman51]

I think, or rather i know Mark Knopfler is a far better guitarist than Clapton

[21fretsalute]

Good gravy that sax is something.
