I just hope he's got some voice left (and his "blisters on his little finger and thumb" aren't too bad :P) because this will be his seventh gig in a row. Crazy or what?

It's gonna be a mixture of his old Dire Straits stuff and his newer solo stuff. His latest album, Shangri La is really good after a few listens, so there should be a few numbers that they play from it, as well as the classics.

Has anyone been to see him this year so far? If so then what did you think? I'll post my review when I get back. So excited!!!
