Mark Knopfler AND Komet.

Talk about touch-sensitive

 

[fast ricky love]

That is TASTY!

 

[pfrischmann]

That's great.

That album is very underrated IMHO.

That's great.

Nice to see appreciation for Shangri-La. To me, Shangri-La, like all of MK's other albums, is just fantastic. I wish I could write lyrics like he does. I was so pleased to be able to see him on tour last summer.

He sounded killer on the Shangri-La tour. But then again he always sounds killer. However, that Komet rig was very sweet sounding.

What is that guitar he's playing? Looks like some type of firebird-esque thing...

It is an old Silvertone. On his website there are some close up photos.

LoL, deep stuff...

 

[bigroy]

Which model Komet?

 

[ToneKing]

Excellent video clip. Knopfler is a master.

 

[Fretmaster]

Love knopfler! But dear God I can't imagine standing right in front of TWO KOMET's running TWO 4x12 cabs!!!

 

[MikeyG]

great clip .... thanks so much for posting!!!!!

 

[LSchefman]

Very sweet! I always liked Knopfler's sound (and playing of course), and he sounds wonderful through those amps - i.e., he sounds like himself in a really clear, juicy way.

those 1/2 stacks on the stage are dummy rigs, fully functional, but dummy rigs none the less

I wouldn't be so sure about that. When he played in Helsinki he was connected to the Komet stack as far as I can remember and the other guitar player used the second one. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some trickery with attenuators, line-outs and whatnot though.

But what's in that rack? All I can identify is the Korg tuner and propably a TC 2290 delay.
