Format:DVD
Having attended the concert earlier in the year it was a pleasure to see it so brilliantly recorded on DVD. It was a pleasure to watch - almost like being there! The extras on the DVD are a real bonus. I went for the two disk set B000IZJ3LY. This gives a 17 track DVD and a 14 track CD.

...Mark Knopfler gets better with age.
Having been a huge Dire Straits fan when I was younger, I was gutted when they broke up and only in recent years did I discover Knopfler's solo material from 'Golden Heart' onwards. And it's great. His vocals have improved (apparently since he stopped smoking), the songwriting and lyrics are even better, and his guitar playing is more subtle yet more tasteful than it's ever been. I only say this because commercially, at least compared to Dire Straits in their heyday, Mark Knopfler seems to fly under the radar. The many people who dismiss or aren't aware of his solo work are really missing out. You can consider that a public service announcement :o)
On to the DVD then. It certainly doesn't disappoint. Of course this DVD is loosely based on the duet album 'All the Roadrunning' with Emmylou Harris and many of the songs on the DVD are from this album, but it's nice that there are also a few Emmylou songs and a few of Knopfler's own, oh and a few nicely reworked Dire Straits songs too. The rest of the band are absolutely superb and most have played with Knopfler for a number of years now, including Guy Fletcher of course! Despite all being consumate professionals there's a bit of banter here and there and they all look like they're enjoying themselves, which is great to see. The picture and sound quality on the disk is superb and because it's filmed live, but in quite an intimate setting, it almost feels like really being at the gig.
There are some extras, interviews and the likes, but to my shame I haven't watched them yet because every time this DVD is put in the player I can't help but watch the main concert! 5 Stars from me, Mark Knopfler can do no wrong.

This is the best I have ever seen Mark knopfler, the songs from all the road running with emylou harris are brilliant, and he does some amazing arrangements of some dire strates classics like romeo and juliet, so far away and why worry. This dvd is essential for any Mark Knopfler fan or any Emylou Harris fan.

Mark Knopfler is a true genius in his own right but the easy blend with Emmylou Harris makes for a great concert and this DVD brings with it all the atmosphere of the night. This double package including the CD is exceptional value for money and a must have purchase for any MK fan. Buy it, you will not be disappointed.

Format:Audio CD
"Across a dozen duets, pieced together over seven years Emmylou Harris and Mark Knopfler sing these tunes with deep emotional overtones. Much of this CD relates to the life of an itinerant musician, "trying to juggle family and relationships and just the wear and tear of being in the world". Mark Knopfler
Emmylou says of making this CD," Mark is very much in control and knows what he wants, but on the other hand, he understand the mystical process that happens when you make a record and that record becomes what it is. It has everything to do with the people involved, but there's this other ingredient, of something set in motion. When I heard these songs together, it was so listenable, and I mean that in the most positive way, It a very rich album, musically and lyrically, yet it doesn't requires a lot of work." All of these songs were written by Emmylou and Mark.
"Beachcombing" which starts off the album is evocative of Hurricane Kristina although it was written well before. It is a song about loss, personal and emotional, says Mark, "wreckage washing up all along the coast."
"This is Us", is selected to become the single of this album. It is infectious and many will relate to this.
A lighter touch comes to "Red Staggewring, which is a Cajun-like tune where lovers compare themselves to motorcycles, cars and vintage guitars.
On "Belle Star", Emmylou compares herself to an old West infamous female outlaw, "Belle Star" and Mark as Jesse James. This banter is reminiscent of Johnny and June Cash in their early albums.
"Donkey Song' as a song written by Mark and meant for an earlier CD. They both enjoyed the freedom and silliness.... Read more ›

Bought this after buying the Cd which is really good. Was a little bit taken aback when some of the songs were different from the CD, but after watching it for the second time I was addicted. the guitar playing is fantastic.
