OldNeumanntapr Notes-
This was both the first and only time that I've seen Mark Knopfler's band, and also the first and only time that I have been to the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. I saw Dire Straits at the Oakland Coliseum on 2/2/92 on the 'On Every Street' tour, and I was glad to
see Mark again. I didn't think there was a lot of difference between Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler solo. Mark Knopfler IS Dire Straits, in my opinion. I went to the Greek show with my friend Dave. They have 'stack' parking at the Greek, on the lawn, so you can't leave until the show is over. I'd never seen that before, but I guess it's because they have limited space. The Greek is a beautiful amphitheatre, being right next to Griffith Park. There are huge redwood trees that encircle the amphitheatre. My first experience with the Greek was listening to Neil Diamond's 'Hot August Night' LP when I was a kid, and hearing him talk about the 'Tree People' who would climb the trees to hear the show for free. I loved that album. Neil spoke of how beautiful the theatre was, and he wasn't kidding. He said it was performer's paradise. Dave's first show was one of those 'Hot August Night' shows in August of 1972, at the Greek. We sat in the left terrace level. The two terraces, one on either side of the main amphitheatre, were added later
and did not exist originally. Being that I was near the inside rail, I had a pretty clear and unobstructed view of both the stage and the left PA stacks, so the sound was pretty good. I did have a couple near me, who left midway through the show, that kept unwrapping
little hard candies. I think the microphones picked up the sound of the wrappers. I really enjoyed hearing live renditions of Knopfler's solo albums, especially the songs 'What It Is', 'Junkie Doll' and 'Speedway At Nazareth' from the 'Sailing To Philadelphia'album, and 'Rudiger' from the 'Golden Heart' album.
