I think Dire Straits is very underrated
Even Knopfler's solo albums and his Nottingham Hillbillies stuff is tremendous.

Mark K. and Dire Straits are underrated. He is unique.I'd have Van Halen and AC/DC above them, but the Police were an incredible band. They stopped early, so I think that adds to their mystique and fans wanting more. I'm a huge Dire Straits fan and Mark Knopfler fan in general, but they really only had 1 huge album here in America, so I get why they're not listed.
I saw the Police only once, the Synchronicity tour....absolutely outstanding!
Saw Eric Clapton a few times....... one of the times this was his band:
Dunno the bass players name, but he sang like Jack Bruce
Ray Cooper on Percussion
Chuck Leavell on piano
Phil Collins on drums
and the second guitarist?
Mark Knopfler!
Still pinching myself.
If HF Boards Bruins has Mt Rushmore I think you are on itMark K. and Dire Straits are underrated. He is unique.
I did as well - probably at same showThat's a hell of a show. I saw Clapton back in the late 80's at Greatwoods (when it was actually called Greatwoods) and it was one of the best shows I've ever been to. And that was without an all star lineup like you saw. Crazy.

That Mount Rushmore story is the craziest story I think I’ve ever heardDefinitely. First ballot Hall of Fame too.

Mark Knopfler is a top 10 guitarist of all time. An amazing player. Like Eddie Van Halen, the first time you hear him, you wonder what he's doing to get that sound. Then you see him play, and it's just his fingers, amazingly fast and nimble, but still just his fingers.
Ever hear "Neck and Neck", his duet album with Chet Atkins?
Guitar magic.

When they first opened you could buy a 5 pack. I was 3 rows from the stage for 4 of the five concerts ( I sold Jimmy Buffet).I live 10 minutes from Great woods, I’m really missing concerts...

I saw lots of good stuff there.
I saw Tom Petty there a number of times. He was great always but the tour with Dylan was amazing.Best shows I saw at Great Woods were Peter Gabriel and the Cure. Funny, the Cure was also the worst show I ever saw there. But the good show was so good, my girlfriend, who complained about having to go "see those weirdos" the whole ride down, ended up leaping from our seats in the second row to the stage trying to grab Robert Smith's leg.
Seen so many shows there. The Eagles, CSN, CSN&Y, Clapton, Jimmy Buffet, Tom Petty, Stevie Miller Band, and on and on. Really haven't been to many shows since my kids were born though, so it's not like I'm missing it in a I haven't been to a show in a year kind of way right now, but I still miss going to shows in general.
I’m good for at least 2 or 3 a season, more depending on the acts..
Off the top of my head I’ve seen Bob Seger, sting, Fleetwood Mac, Alman Brothers, Metallica, Van Halen, Iron Maiden, Jimmy Buffett, Van Morrison, Ozzy, Guns N’ Roses, Aerosmith, Steely Dan, just tons of shows...lots of country shows my wife wanted to see...
I need to go find the ticket stub box and jog my memory..
