<body text="#000000" bgcolor="#aaaaaa">This is from Quality Bootz blog. <br> <br>I'm taking the liberty of using this as a test to see if I can upload a torrent! <br> <br>Check out QualityBootz site - is awesome. <br> <br>This is a very nice show. A few dips, but nothing too distracting. <br> <br>Thank you QUALITYBOOTZ <br> <br>http://qualitybootz.blogspot.com/2009/07/mark-knopfler-royal-albert-hall-2008-vg.html <br> <br>--- <br> <br>Original text file says: <br> <br>Mark Knopfler. <br> <br>Royal Albert Hall, 28th May, 2008. <br> <br>CD 1. <br>01.

As far as I know, this show hasn't surfaced yet. I've checked Dime & Hungercity regularly hoping it would appear, but it hasn't, so here's my recording. <br>It's probably a 9/10, with a very focused sound. The vocal is up-front & defined, except for Sultans Of Swing where I think the mic volume wasn't raised to accommodate the increased volume of the band. <br>The guitar rings through as clear as a bell & the ambience of the venue adds a richness to the overall sound, without washing out the sound too much. I'm very pleased with it & hope you will be too. <br>The Joe Brown tracks are a nice addition & it was good to see him appear as a surprise guest. Funnily enough, I've seen Mark & Joe play Donegan's Gone twice at the Albert Hall (1st time was at the Lonnie Tribute Concert in 2004). <br>I'll also be at Joe's show at the RAH in September at which Mark will be a guest, and no doubt they'll play it again! <br>Feel free to distribute & torrent how & where you want to, the music is yours. <br>Just don't sell it! <br> <br>--- <br> <br>md5 is mine so if its screwy blame me... <br>x <br>Emily <br>
