A really rare and amazing good recording, taken
from Mark Knopfler's In Ear Monitor (IEM). On this recording, you can hear
exactly what Mark hears when he's on stage. His voice and guitar are obvious
very clear on this recording. It's a soundboard recording, but it isn't from the
"Front-of-house" soundboard, but from the "Stage Monitor" soundboard. Since
these signals are separate monitor board mixes sent via a wireless frequency to
the receiver pack that each musician wears, anyone with a wireless multi-channel
receiver can record it as long as they know the frequency. And that's what
probably happened during this show. What makes it even more unique is that this
recording also features guest appearances of Jackson Browne on Sailing to
Philadelphia and Bonnie Raitt on Prairie wedding and Pyroman.
Bonnie plays beautifully haunting slide guitar on Prairie wedding and
sings a high vocal harmony in the chorus. After the song Mark says: "Stick
around Bonnie, stick around." followed by Pyroman on which she also
plays great slide guitar. Very interesting concert, and an even more interesting
sound source! Complete setlist. |
