VHS Movie Reviews of Mark Knopfler, A Night in London

Movie Review: Mark Knopfler Live in London
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a very laid-back, gentle and intimate performace by Knopfler and fellow musicians. In this performance you can tell that he has been heavily influenced by J.J.Cale. Just watch "To Tulsa and back on tour with J.J.Cale" DVD. If you like Knopfler you'll like J.J.Cale. Also, the guest performances by Sonny Landreth on Guitar is excellent electric guitar work including slide guitar play. This DVD is a lot different from the Dire Straits "on the night" DVD, because it is more gentle, more intimate and in a smaller venue. However, both are great DVD's. Knopfler is an excellent guitarist himself, this DVD proves it. I did not have
any problem with the 2.0 sound. It sounded just like 5.1 surround sound to me.

Movie Review: Awesome Musician
Summary: 5 Stars

Mark Knopfler is our favorite musician, bar none! This is a wonderful concert, but with an exception. For some reason the DVD (unlike the video)does not include Sultans of Swing which is one of the best of all. Otherwise it is a fantastic must-see! He just gets better and better!

Movie Review: Pros and Cons
Summary: 4 Stars

On the upside, this concert DVD features Mark Knopfler and some outstanding backup musicians, including the amazing Sonny Landreth; it covers many of the lovliest songs from Knopfler's Golden Heart CD, plus some of the movie music and a couple of the Dire Straits hits. This is enough to make it a thoroughly enjoyable evening of music. The downside is that the sound isn't all that good--a duet between Knopfler and Landreth to intro Cannibals is almost inaudible--and the director doesn't seem to have a very good grasp of who is playing what during the final number--a three-way jam on Gravy Train that will knock your socks off. Unfortunately, the camera is often focused on the wrong musician, zooming in on an idle Paul Franklin when Landreth is burning down the house, then switching to Landreth when Franklin cuts in for a solo ride. Overall, however, these frustrations don't diminish the fact that this is marvelous Knopfler music, with plenty of his clean, distinctive guitar work, fine, literate lyrics, and outstanding work from the whole band and guest artists. I really enjoy this DVD and play it often, but I wish the film and sound team had been a bit sharper.

Movie Review: Can't stop watching it
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this from amazon.com a couple of years ago.I do not usally write reviews,however this is a fantastic performance.Besides the people who complain about the sound quality. This is an excellent addition to knopfler fans.I play this dvd through a 2 speaker stereo system and it sounds great.I cannot count the times I have played this.I am also a guitar player,(no where near professional)and the songs on this dvd blow me away.Golden Heart,Je Suis Desole and especially Going Home, I have continued to try to learn with some success.All I can say is that whenever I sit and practice playing,I always finish with this one.Even if I started the night with this one.Mark is a unique musician.Smooth effortless playing,intriguing lyrics and a voice that carries each song with incredible emotion. A MUST HAVE for sure.

Movie Review: Superb
Summary: 5 Stars

I may be biased in that I have been a fan of MK for some years.
This DVD of him and others in London I thought was just great.
Some of his best tunes with some terrific support. The setting was spot on, up close and personal with a cracking rapport between the various musicians. The whole thing was superbly crafted and I loved it from start to finish.
