Sunday June 23rd I went to a Mark Knopfler concert in the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam. Dire Straits was one of those bands that we always listened to at home. Same as Phil Collins, by the way. This is the music I grew up with and still love so much. This is music to me. Those familiar guitar sounds, that talky-singy voice, those beautiful songs. I’m so happy that I finally got to go to one of Mark Knopfler’s concerts. I remember missing out the last time he played in the Netherlands a couple of years ago, so I wasn’t going to miss this one! And it was amazing! Just a magical performance of simply great music. What a treat to be there to enjoy it!
It’s funny how all concerts (not counting festivals) I’ve been to are of musicians whose music I’ve loved for a long time. Not only Phil Collins (twice now) and Mark Knopfler, but I’ve also been to concerts by Fleetwood Mac (twice) and Roxette (twice). Awesomeness! 🙂Here are some videos I took during the concert!
Great post 🙂
