July 16, 20187 yr Wow, that's fascinating. Thanks. I found it interesting how it took the band almost a whole verse to truly find the groove on "Walk of Life". It's as if they finally just started to play along to what they knew in their heads. The tension just evaporated.
July 16, 20187 yr From the same show. Absolutely sublime. You can see how pleased Chet, Mark, and Michael are by this demonstration of absolute, perfect harmony:
July 16, 20187 yr I've been watching Mark's website for about a year waiting for a tour to open up, but nothing yet.
July 16, 20187 yr Wow. I don't even know what to say about that take with the Everly Brothers. Your word "sublime" works. Beautiful. Check out Chet at 1:24. He actually LOOKS like Mark Knopfler, like his much older brother or something.

July 16, 20187 yr Their Neck and Neck album is one of the best pure guitar albums ever. I've been mining it for licks for decades.

Holy shit...that is David Hungate. Edited July 16, 20187 yr by hullabelew

July 16, 20187 yr I'll be darned. Looks like him. Trying to find on Google if he was in on that concert. In the Why Worry clip there is a better shot of him, then Mr. Atkins introduces them.
