Waiting to see Mark again after so many years. Last time was when he played guitar with Clapton at RAH, London February 1988. The first time was almost 20 years ago when Dire Straits performed at Helsinki Jäähalli 28.10.1985

Thanks to Mark and guys in the band for a great gig at the Hartwall Areena yesterday evening. This arena is quite bad soundwise and at the start of the gig there were some sound problems at least to where I was sitting (quite low, stage right, quite near the soundboard). Anyway I've heard much worse sounds in this hall and after a few numbers it was OK. The sound during the more silent numbers was excellent, although the heavier numbers got a bit distorted, sadly. The music was first class. It was great to see a big name playing in a big hall without the usual stadium antics and letting the music do the talking. Knopfler was in a relaxed mood and the band supported him in a very skilled and professional way. The music made us feel good and that comes from the fingers and attitude of these amazing musicians. For me the highlights were Romeo & Juliet, Done With Bonaparte, Rüdiger, Boom, Like That (loved that glittering guitar sound) and a wonderful Telegraph Road. Thanks again Mark for bringing your music to us and giving me back a belief, that gigs in arenas can be enjoyable, too :)

Though the speakers and the arena acoustics were trying to ruin it all, I loved the show. A very good compilation of songs brilliantly played by those superb musicians - it can be nothing but great! MK with his guitar ... 'nuff said! ;) Thank You Markku!
